DO I NEED TO SAY MORE??????????

[misskattylashes]

This essay is so big, it needs two parts!

The EYCTE cycle

Part 1

From ‘I Just wanted to be one of the Strokes’ to ‘I’m scared of love’ and why I don’t think we will get TLSP 3 any time soon.

There is no doubt that Planet Milex is a different place to where it was in 2015. Back then, they hung out in LA, treated girlfriends like third wheels, were pictured cuddling and behaving like a couple outside The Kills gig, and then went onto record Everything You’ve Come to Expect.

Planet Milex 2024 seems like a desert. No official pictures of them together, the only indication they are still in each other’s lives being Miles frequently mentioning in interviews about hanging out with Alex, still sharing clothes, a picture of them walking the streets of Shoreditch, a sneaky photo at a Scott Walker tribute concert (which interestingly was taken down immediately). Then ultimately, Alex wanting his beloved to be the support act for the final days of the tour, when it was clear at times Alex felt a little overwhelmed by it all, and of course, Miles was there to hold his hand and bring him back down to earth.

‘Maybe I was a little too wild in the seventies’

It’s interesting out of all the Monkey’s songs, it is I Wanna Be Yours that Alex then merged with Star Treatment (often adding ‘I just wanted a jet ski for the moat’ – more of that later), which kind of confirms who I Wanna Be Yours is about – I have no idea why no none has ever questioned the addition of ‘secrets I have held in my heart’.

I think the EYCTE period was one where feelings deepened and promises were made. The one to watch is Miles. At the beginning of the promotional period, Alex looks like an adoring boyfriend, but Miles is quite composed and whilst flirty with Alex, it’s no more than he ever was before, during the SIAS and AM eras. By the end, in the days of Sziget and Rock en Seine. Miles is looking like a soppy puppy with eyes full of love (pretty much how Alex has looked at him since 2008!). But judging by the lyrics of Star Treatment (which Alex started writing during EYCTE), Alex was aware their little bubble couldn’t last ‘here ain’t no place for dolls like you and me’, but Miles, having fallen hard thought they could keep it going.

Alex went off to France to record TBHC leaving Miles stranded in LA, friendless and a bit lost, meanwhile Alex went through a period of self-reflection and justifying to himself why he had let Miles down. Not all the songs on TBHC are related to Milex, Alex was influenced by a whole variety of things, but songs like Star Treatment, Golden Trunks, Batphone and The Ultracheese address their situation. The Ultracheese even ends ‘I done some things that I shouldn’t have done, but I haven’t stopped loving you once’. I see TBHC as Alex’s ‘excuse album’. Sorry I let you down Miles, but look what a big superstar I am with all these big responsibilities, but know I love you’

Miles on the other hand was angry and hurt and wanted to lash out. Coup de Grace is full of angst with thinly veiled digs at Alex (of course during the official promotion, Miles said it was about Hannah his ex but I do think mentioning Alex’s personal information in Killing the Joke is kind of telling). Wrong Side of Life is possibly one of the saddest and most desperate songs I have ever heard. And on Silverscreen, how do you explain Two Faced Johnny as being a woman?! The only hint at self-blame is on Too Little Too Late, with the lines ‘I’m too fickle set in my ways, I’m too little too late’ – which has echoes of Troubled Son. Personally, I think one of the reasons Alex possibly wanted to go back to how they were prior to EYCTE was because Miles had never committed before (see most of AM!) and it was a case of do the hurting before being hurt. But CDG ends with Shavambacu, which in an interview Miles said was about an ex and they used to call each other Shavambacu as a silly little name (cue footage of Miles calling Alex Shavambacu on stage). And the last line is ‘oh honey I love you’. Like TBHC, CDG ends with a declaration of love.

In between CDG and CTS we have the night at La Cigale (which I will write about in a different post) where I think their fall out came to a head, because not long after that, we have grainy footage of them hanging out in East London. At the same time Miles is writing Change The Show, and whilst the songs are still a bit angsty, there is a lot more pragmatism. See Ya When I See Ya stands out, and we have the ‘Johnny’ character again, but instead of being angry with Alex for his double life and secrets, Miles has resigned to himself he’ll always be there for him and keep his secrets for him. I think because they had reconciled to a degree, Miles realised they weren’t going anywhere, but it didn’t mean Alex didn’t annoy him. Final track Adios ta ra ta ra indicates exasperation at their constant battles, but there is still an air of resignation.

Part two tomorrow

I'm kinda new to Milex, despite loving both AM and TLSP for years, and like so many questions.......What happened to those sweethearts, what are the divorce allegations, why they don't hang out anymore, is there any tension between Miles and Alex's girlfriend?😭 I need to know

hiii and welcome to the milex fandom!!

first of all, you can check out this post to know more about the divorce allegations - but of course always remember it's just theories, no one really knows what happened (if anything happened at all)

second of all, they do still hang out! they're just very private about it and rarely ever get spotted together, but over the years after the tbhc and cdg eras we got to see them together a few times, usually hanging out in london like here (august 2020):

and here (july 2021):

but also in jnstances like this one (september 2021) (it's not confirmed that they were together but miles posted this with the caption 'ARRABIATA HEAD X' and arrabiata is Their Thing + those are alex's sunglasses and the photo was most likely taken by him idc i will die on this hill)

then we got to see them together in june 2022, hanging out at some pub:

and also at zackery michael and lola mcdonnell's wedding aka the wedding of the century aka i wish i was a fly on the wall there. this was also in june 2022, they were both there but sadly we didn't get any interaction nor photos of them together:

we did however get a few interactions between miles, (nadya) and louise.

in may 2023 they were spotted having a cute little date night at a scott walker tribute concert in london (feat. the one and only brown leather jacket):

and then of course we got to see them playing 505 together in june (💖) after five whole years of not sharing a stage:

and then again in dublin, miles opened for them on all four nights of the irish leg in october and joined them for 505 on the very last one:

during both the cts and omb eras miles has mentioned alex and tlsp quite a few times (both spontaneously or because of annoying interviewers asking him about it).

speaking of miles and louise, they ignored each other for a long time since alex started dating her back in 2018, which was quite weird considering miles usually seemed to have great friendships with alex's girlfriends (he was very close to taylor, and he's still friends with alexa). recently they started interacting more, liking each other's posts or leaving comments there (see miles commenting on her latest birthday post for alex). as i mentioned, they interacted a bit during zack and lola's wedding (katie posted a video on ig where her, kirstin, louise, miles and nadya were all hanging out together). i think at this point it's safe to say miles and nadya aren't together anymore, but her and louise were hanging out quite a lot during 2022/start of 2023 and they probably got introduced through their respective boyfriends. there's no official drama between miles and louise but they don't seem to be friends, just close acquaintances at best.

and... i think that's it anon! in conclusion they're still very much close and hanging out with each other, it's just much rarer to get a glimpse of them but maybe in the (hopefully not so distant) future we'll get a tlsp3 announcement and then they'll finally be touring together again, planet earth will heal and we'll be well-fed once again. in the meantime, i hope this little recap was helpful <3

#@ moots please let me know if i missed something crucial!! i tried to include everything i could think of but if i forgot something > #> some instance of them hanging out together over the recent years then don't hesitate to add it to the post #also anon this is just considering the official sightings we've had. who knows what happens behind closed doors and how many times they > #> hang out without any of us knowing (top 10 thoughts that haunt me at night) #it's also worth noting they keep vague posting about each other through their lyrics which is very gay of them if i do say so myself #never beating the psychosexual relationship allegations! #ramblings #answered

u/J_Ellis97: Met Alex at the Scott Walker Tribute Concert in London tonight!

After seeing a post where it said that Miles no longer posted photos of him and Alex, I thought the same thing, they never appear together again, whether on Miles' IG or elsewhere, even if they are at the same party etc... Just a little hasty hug on stage and that's it. It seems like there is a fortress that has been built around Alex, (or that he himself built) As if they should no longer be seen together. This is why I am more and more skeptical about the possibility of a TLSP3, as if they had gone "too far" (and I'm not just talking about "milex") that saddens me, in done there I need to be reassured haha! Sorry for this rambling but I really appreciate your point of view and your analyzes ;)

first of all, thank you anon for your kind words, i really appreciate them!! <3 and don't worry about ramblings as you must know that it's all i do when answering an ask and it's what i'm gonna do now 😂

yeah, it is is saddening (and sometimes concerning) that we basically never see them together nowadays, but i think that if they were actually trying their hardest to hide then we wouldn't have spotted them at the scott walker tribute concert for example, or at that party or whatever where miles is in the background (where they both knew they could be photographed together at any time), or miles wouldn't have said many times that alex goes over to his place or they have dinner and such, or alex wouldn't have asked miles to support them in ireland (and the fact that these were the last shows... of course he wanted to end it with a bang -this could be interpreted in more ways than one-), etc. i thought that the hug in london was very very sweet and so intimate, and even the one in ireland in the dark was cute (the lack of sntm was weird), not to mention alex singing to and pointing at miles so unashamedly (c'mon, he must've known people would figure it out but didn't care). zackery's wedding was a weird one as they were seated apart from each other, but there is no way that they didn't talk to each other - there just isn't any evidence.

i know there are people who say that this is done deliberately by alex's pr team and because they saw the effects of the eycte tour and don't want people to start going crazy over them and ignore louise in the meantime and get the rumours starting about his sexuality... i'm not sure whether to believe this or not. it seems a bit too far-fetched, but who knows 🤷‍♀️ i wouldn't be too surprised it was at least a little true.

speaking of evidence, we know how hard louise tries to show off and exploits her boyfriend and how silly it all looks in the end... to me, miles not posting about alex just means that what they have is reserved for them and them only. the pictures miles has in his phone with/of alex are just theirs, their memories are just theirs, whenever they hang out and the moments they share are just theirs - and this is so important. love, in whatever form, shouldn't be used as a tool to make others jealous or to post in order to gain likes or get people talking - it should be something more private, more precious, something to share between the two of you that is yours only - this should be enough for happiness. maybe after eycte and the fans' reactions they decided to keep their relationship and their private life a little more private. besides, it was always the girlfriends that posted alex a lot and not miles, and i'm not sure he wasn't too big of a fan of that, given... well, everything we know about him, and this interview from 2016:

Like Chung, Bagley has been known to post a lot of pictures of herself looking impossibly attractive on Instagram. There she is posing with her dog, posing naked in the bath … but never, as far as I can tell, posing with Turner. Is that because he’d rather not be there? “I don’t recall submitting that request, but I’m not sorry about it if I’m not on there.”

i think that miles is just simply respecting what he knows about alex and his dislike of social media, and he knows that posting photos with alex would only result in getting more likes than usual and people saying that he's profiting off of his fame. alex and their relationship means more to him than a few likes and reposts.

#and as the post was getting embarassingly long - don't worry too much about tlsp3. let's have more faith in our boys and their love; #i think it's all gonna work out in the end for them #(there i go with my infinite positivity when it comes to them; i can't help it. them and what they have is too special for tlsp3 #not to happen) #who cares if we have to wait 10 more years? the time will come again some day #alex turner #miles kane #milex #tlsp #the last shadow puppets #tlsp3 #anon

The Royal Family have united at a Christmas concert hours after the controversial documentary came to a conclusion this morning.

Kate Middleton is hosting the concert at Westminster Abbey in London, where royals will come together for the festive event.

The concert will be broadcast as part of Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, a special programme narrated by Catherine Zeta Jones, which will air on ITV1 at Christmas Eve.

The special Christmas service is dedicated to the late Queen and will recognise the selfless efforts of individuals, families and communities across the UK.

A synopsis for the show outlines that the service aims to dedicate the late monarch and the values that she demonstrated throughout her life, including “duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, compassion and support for others.”

It adds: “These principles are shared and personified by the inspirational guests who have been invited to the Abbey in recognition of their tireless work to help and care for those around them.”

Prince William, King Charles, Camilla, The Queen Consort, and other members of the Royal Family will be in attendance.

Kate looked incredibly festive in a beautiful fit and flare plum V-neck style dress for the evening.

She matched her look with a pair of suede heeled shoes and a glittery clutch bag, and accessorised her look with what appeared to be drop ruby gem earrings.

With her brunette locks styled into bouncy blow dried curls, she smiled at crowds who were gathered by the Abbey in London as she was pictured walking past a row of lit Christmas trees.

Following her arrival, other members of the family were pictured attending the venue.

Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, and her sister Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi followed into the church.

Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, was then seen entering, wearing an elegant white trench coat.

The Abbey is filled with festive decorations to provide a beautiful Christmas backdrop and some of the nation’s most beloved carols, including O Come, All Ye Faithful, will be sung.

There will be performances from Craig David, Alexis Ffrench and Samantha Barks, and a special duet from Alfie Boe and former Spice Girl Melanie C.

Readings from Prince William, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, Hugh Bonneville and Kadeena Cox have also been organised.

As well as this, the broadcast will feature additional content, including an introduction from Kate, as well as films highlighting individuals who have gone above and beyond to support others this year, and tributes to the Queen.

Kate recently published a behind-the-scenes filming picture on The Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Twitter account.

Wearing a sequin-covered Aurora Ballerina Dress from Needle & Thread that she debuted at a Buckingham Palace reception in January 2020, the Princess stood in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree as she beamed at the camera.

The princess wore her hair in loose curls and rocked the same dangling ruby Soru earrings she wore the first time she sported the dress.

She captioned the post:

"#TogetherAtChristmas @ itv Christmas Eve."

Social media users have taken to express their joy at Kate hosting the Carol concert again this year, as well as complimenting how "lovely" she always looks.

One person wrote: "The Princess looks so beautiful. Can't wait for this year's Christmas concert."

And another said: "So much beauty, talent and grace! Thank you Prince William for marrying someone that makes the UK and the Commonwealth so proud!"

While a third put: "Looking forward to it. Hoping that it is now an annual tradition. Loving the jobs that you are doing for us all."

And a fourth wrote: "Wow, Princess of Wales looking stunning and classy."

Another user said: "Catherine always looks lovely. Cannot wait to see who will be involved this year. Last year was amazing!"

Last year, Kate also sported red for the “Together at Christmas” event, wearing a Catherine Walker coat dress with a large bow at the neck.

She also sat down to play the piano for a special performance with singer Tom Walker, wowing the British public.

Miles via his insta story

The little hi 🫠🥹🥹🥹

Yes Miles we absolutely do know, just happy that you know it too 🥹

[misskattylashes]

It’s May 2023 and a PR crisis has left Miles alone while Alex is on holiday with Louise. However, on the day of the Scott Walker Tribute concert he receives a surprise when Alex comes home to him. As well as going to the concert, Alex treats Miles to a magical weekend. But the change in his behaviour worries Miles. Alex is never reckless, so why has he taken so many risks that might damage his carefully protected reputation? So, while Miles experiences a weekend of pure joy, he fears it may be the last.

[yellowloid]

they were hanging out together they were in london going to a scott walker tribute concert together THE scott walker that was the inspiration for their first album recorded at blackbox studios in the middle of the french countryside during a two-week long period in summer 2007 that literally felt like a honeymoon dream, a period that would inevitably go and change the trajectory of their whole lives because it'd also lead to their second album which would instead change their literal brain chemistry and make them go batshit crazy with the intricate rituals and they decided to go together to that concert as a cute little london date after not seeing each other for a while because of their busy schedules but they still decided to take time for each other to do something special because it means so much to them and they were probably so excited to hang out together after a while and miles gave the celine jacket back to alex and he wore it so proudly and maybe they hung out before/after the concert too and spent hours talking and catching up and laughing about stupid shit and easing back into each other's company so naturally it felt like they were truly never apart and and and

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Lola Albright, drummer Tony Allen, Apollo 11, the Billboard Singles Charts (1940), music aficionado & influencer John Bonato, Tantoo Cardinal, Kim Carnes, Paul Cook, Chris Cornell, Omar Epps, Franz Fanon, Tim Ferriss, Jem Finer, Radney Foster, Mort Garson, Stone Gossard, Saginaw Grant, Sir Edmund Hillary, Sally Ann Howes, Iron Butterfly’s 1968 IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA album, Buddy Knox, John Lodge, Mick MacNeil (Simple Minds), Cormac McCarthy, Gregor Mendel, Sandra Oh, Petrarch, Diana Rigg, T.G. Sheppard, the 1961 musical STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF, songwriter Cindy Walker, Natalie Wood, Dennis Yost, and the visionary guitarist and band-leader Carlos Santana. His music has been in my orbit ever since I saw Santana’s sizzling performance in the WOODSTOCK movie. I marvel at his fusion of Latin and world music, jazz, psychedelic rock, and pop, and he’s King of the Long-Sustained Note, milking the full potential of a tone. I didn’t grasp the depth of his music till recent years, amplified because I now live in the San Francisco neighborhood where Santana grew up and I worked with musicians who’ve played with Santana. 

In 2009 I was honored to participate in a Santana tribute concert produced by The Uptown Music Collective, performing Santana’s arrangement of “Oye Como Va.” Because of the song’s American, Cuban, Mexican, and Puerto Rican roots, it’s now a badge of interconnectedness and hybridity for Latin music in the USA and beyond. Here we are performing it at the Community Arts Center in Williamsport PA—with “more cowbell” and superb lead guitar by Scott Francis. Meanwhile, thank you Carlos for your years of music-making and bringing people together.

Now tell me he isn't lying to his parents. / He told the truth if you think about it right after the last concert in Paris they went to the south of France and then went back to Paris and Alex then went to London to see Miles and go to that Scott Walker tribute concert. They said France because he was there in the last few weeks before going to London

We don't know if he's been in the south of France. That's what she wants us to believe, yeah, but was he really there or did she just go home with her dad and Jonathan?
