See, this Last Shadow Puppets record is fantastic, right? Like, this summer's breezy sixties-style pop record you can't stop playing, in the manner of last summer's God Save the Clientele.
It's Alex, the singer from Arctic Monkeys (whom I never really gave a toss about), and his friend Miles from a band called the Rascals.
The A. Monkeys have had two records out which sold loads in the UK and the Rascals have just put out their first, which, sadly, is tedious, generic and undistinguished. Have not been able to listen to whole thing, even.
Miles co-wrote the LSP record and seemingly blew all his inspiration thereon.
So, I really feel for his two Rascal bandmates, who have to go around meeting public indifference and the derision of their mums: "Why's your record so crap?" Sellers of marrows and legumes in public stalls pointing and laughing...
Here's Miles singing one:
