Someone mentioned the set design for the Arctic Monkeys 2023 tour, so I thought I would share part of this review of one of Miles' shows in Bristol last year. What do we see? Miles had a backdrop of mirrors so the audience can see him interact with the band........
And now tumbler, help me decide if Miles was in his black or brown jacket? Its real delema, since later that night Alex ware brown one:
So did Miles ware black and Alex took brown from his place before the event? Or Miles ware brown and he give it to Alex in the middle of event because Alex was cold? 🙈🐢
Taking care of myself: nice beauty routine with bath, masks and massage.
When I realised that I don’t actually want to go out to watch theatre screening in the cinema I returned a ticket and went out for a short walk in piece. Previously I would drag myself because of the illusive idea of need in culturing.
To better:
My mind scatters and I had no clear plans or intentions. Lots of time were spend scrolling. Write down points to do.
Delights:
“The Last Shadow Puppet” music and fan clips of hugs. So uplifting!
Studying German for fun. (zum Spaß)
Pink-grey sky in the evening, tasty matcha-latte from the quiet cozy cafe.
Human Value:
In “The Last Shadow Puppet” music and their affection to each other I found such amazing manifestation of freedom. Freedom to be delicate in public, to sing and write for the love of music, to be fun without reasons. That’s how freedom looks like, that’s how it breathes.
there was a very specific dynamic between Alex and Miles every time he went on to play 505 with them from 2011 to 2013. let me elaborate:
so Alex just got his sexy cool rockstar pesona on and he started getting buff and dressing like that. And you know Miles was… shagging… in 2013, he was the bad boy. And every time he went on stage after he was introduced he openly FLIRTED with Alex.
He pulled him in by his waist, whispered in his ear and Alex giggled and blushed and obeyed. It was such a sexual power dynamic, way different from TAOU or EYCTE. been thinking bout that.
every time i rewatch the miracle aligner music video i am just flabbergasted. FLABBERGASTED. like. they really chose to make it like THAT. and by 'like THAT' i am specifically referring to:
1) “an attempt to extract the truth... approximately" *cue rosepetals and intense eye contact*
2) THIS being the opening shot of the two of them
3) miles legitimately spending the first minute of the entire video blatantly checking alex out
4) literal rainbow lighting around them
5) endless hand holding and twirling
6) that moment where miles's hand reaches ever so reflexively for alex's neck
So....we have a new entrant into the shit show. Chef Tom Brown. Now I am never sure if him and Miles are just close friends or they are dating. He was with Miles at the Emirates last Sunday. The other day he randomly posted the clip or Glasto 13 when Alex starts singing Yellow. All very nice. But last night (after Miles no show during 505) he posts this. It is taking the piss out of Alex and the comments are pretty harsh.
Now....is it because Alex let Miles down again and because Louse was there Miles couldn't come on? Is it Tom is jealous of Miles and Alex's relationship? Why did Alex seem a bit lost at the beginning of 505 and he did the hand symbol thing twice.
Am I overthinking after three hours sleep? Possibly. But I would like to hear what you guys think.
