I discuss the collaboration between Arctic Monkey's frontman Alex Turner and Rascals songwriter Miles Kane with non-Mogger, the Girlfriend (a.k.a Jill). The GF: These songs really wants to make you want to jiggle your body and dance around. It’s sad though, if I like something, I can’t be jokey about it. I can’t slag it. Me: Okay, I’ll slag it. The GF: No, don’t! Me: This is the 21st Century… The GF: Don’t! Me: ….why this pastiche stuff? The GF: Stop! Shut it... MORE

Car crashes are sexy, no? Also, being able to walk away from said accident to play guitar, hang in gazebos in leather jackets is pretty cool. "My Mistakes Were Made For You" features the London Metropolitan Orchestra as directed by...

The Last Shadow Puppets, comprised of 1 Arctic Monkey (Alex Turner) and 1 Rascal (Miles Kane), released a brand new video today, off their recent debut album, The Age of the Understatement. Here is "Standing Next to Me": You'll notice that the dapper gents are rocking the turtleneck/blazer, Beatles-style. I'd like to add this as my non-Photoshopped contribution to Mike The Knife's post earlier today, about what The Beatles might look like if they made cu... MORE
Quite often I find myself reading the home pages of many of the people here on MOG. One of my favorite things to look at is people's online musical collections. If I see some bands listed that I like, well I usually dig a little deeper to see if there is anything that I had not heard before and in turn head over to Itunes to give them a listen. My question here is this, if you had to trade computers with any person here on MOG, whose online musical collection would you sa... MORE
MOGstars: 9/10 Understatements can’t really be something Alex Turner has heard much in the last few years- ever since he muttered “Don’t believe the hype” at the start of the video for I Bet You Look Good on The Dancefloor he and his band of Arctic Monkeys have been showered with superlatives; fastest-selling, best, phenomenal and a thousand other compliments have come there way from both critics and consumers. Now at the tender age of 22, Turner has teamed up with mate ... MORE
Here are my top 10 albums for the first half of 2008. Order is based on how often I listened to them so far. Underneath each album are a study on {approved!} allmusic adjectives, lyrics in italics form and some ramblings of mine. This post is dedicated to Stefan (http://mog.com/SA), who organized this whole project, and whom I tortured by changing my list 3 bloody times :) If you haven't voted yet, go here: http://mog.com/blog_post/view/169238.

Sometimes I feel like music blogging is the 21st century’s answer to sailing for spices. For the last few thousand years humans have been constantly exploring new land and planting flags in new soil, satisfying that explorer’s itch. In the last few generations, however, this ability suddenly vanished as we ran out of new land [...]

Alex Turner combines his lyrical prowess with a sexed up, sixties style sound that seems like it should be a Bond theme. Bloke from The Rascals stands on the touchlines....
Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) & Miles Kane (The Rascals) are The Last Shadow Puppets.
Directed by director Romain Gavras, their debut video is as big as Mother Russia, following our intrepid heroes' adventures in Moscow and includes ice skating, an Orthodox priest, tanks and a chorus of Russian Soldiers.
