spending 6hrs backstage waiting to perform the anthem, then on the court performing the anthem, and then watching an NBA match was not how I thought I’d spend my birthday but okay

okay so yknow that tlsp interview where alex goes:

“well i’m… alex from the last shadow puppets, and I play the awoooo~”

i think something that doesn’t get talked about enough is what miles says next:

“and i’m miles from the last shadow puppets… and i play the midnight moon”

because… unless i’m missing some sort of reference or important info here… wolves howl at the moon.

so if alex is the wolf. and miles is the moon.

alex is howling at/for miles. which. oh.

definitely (probably) not what they meant at all. but. it’s 2:00am and i’m thinking thoughts (which is never a good idea).

the interview

#so normal about them #definitely reading too much into this #other opinions please #i need someone to look way too deep into this with me #alex turner #miles kane #the last shadow puppets #tlsp #milex

#as a violinist #and a pretty good one if i do say so myself #i have to say that all the tlsp songs have some sort of fantastic strings arrangement #(and i often wonder who wrote those) #(because wow) #but I feel like I’ll always pick Sweet Dreams TN as my fav #because after much experimentation #I figured out how to play the end violin part #right after Alex sings TEEEEENEEEEESEEEEE #but all of these are rlly good #i wanna figure out the others too #tlsp #the last shadow puppets #miles kane #alex turner

“I think you lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged, and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you’re living a different kind of life there. In a world inside you.”

— Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

#this is #literally alex #in the tbh+c era #like my first thought #babygirl came up with a hotel on the moon #he for sure was in another world #and after la cigale #and whatever else happened after the eycte tour #he for sure withdrew #alex turner #miles kane #the last shadow puppets #tlsp #am #arctic monkeys #mk

Miles live at the Eurovision Village in Liverpool, 10.05.23 (source)

“they think they love you, but they don't know you. the applause and smiles and all that are fine and dandy but it's not for you.”

holy shit-

i know i love to meme on alex turner wearing the same damn thing day in day out on this tour whether he's on stage or out on the streets but man, i GET IT

like i'm quite shy and hate talking to strangers or even looking someone in the eye but i remember putting on my uniform and walking around with an instrument and holy shit, i was a social butterfly! it was so easy! sure dude, i'll take a picture with you! yep this is the time we start the concert! you're lost? this is the way to that building! etc etc

when he's wandering around airports and knows people are gonna come up and ask for a picture i get feeling comfortable in his stage clothes and i love that for him! also i hope this means it's like 100x easier for him to go incognito if the man puts on a big hoodie and sneakers bc the fans are looking for a suit jacket and heeled boots

#i love posts like these #like yes please rant about your thoughts and opinions #it’s so introspective and eye-opening #pretty sure both those words mean the same thing but let me have my big vocab moment please #all of that floored me #makes so much sense #thank you for this #please continue #write an essay and i’ll read it all

[lightning-on-water]

Side note as they finished Star Treatment and it was pitch dark and silent in the arena Alex just said “it’s the star treatment…” in the most heartbreaking sad broken voice and my soul left my body

#make me cry why don’t you #i can imagine it #ouch
