My Current Obssession : The Last Shadow Puppets

Right, so basically I've been intensely in love with this band and their work for the past few days and there are so many valid reasons for it. To elaborate on them would take me ages. May the force be with me then. So it's basically Miles Kane's awesome sound and Alex Turner's genius lyrics. I loved them both separately before I had heard about the last shadow puppets, and I'm not sure how I found out, but I was pretty excited when I did. The first song I heard was probably 'Meeting Place' and I absolutely loved it. I listened to a couple of others and didn't like them as much. But I absolutely loved meeting place. Loved loved loved it. The other songs grew on me when I listened to them again and I nearly have their whole album (The Age of the Understatemnt) plus a few covers of songs I now love. I've basically been listening to their songs and the combination of their musical talent. They're absolutely rocking and I've learnt to adopt a Sheffield accent for the foon of it. I really like them and sue me for using them as a benchmark for someone's music taste and basically what I think of them. Mean and horrible I know, but I've never really been discriminative of someone's music taste. If I do even discriminate; its silently; handling it like a fucking lady. I really just love them and strangely it got me thinking of actually learning the guitar to write songs, I mean have had some half-hearted attempts but I really never gave it my all. I never thought of being a musician, I mean the fantasies of being a rockstar are slightly abundant but never really amounting to something more as a passing daydream. Now, it's really just the thought of maybe me actually making music. Well, it's a silent dream. The guitar playing is not, I certainly like to learn and write songs it would be really therapeutic and honestly, meeting a kindred musical soulmate would be a dream and to play music together! Oh well. I'm focusing on law and you know dreams somehow always need some funding. I'll put that aside for now. Right now, I'll just admire and adore and live by the last shadow puppets songs and hope for their quick comeback and more songs because I love them and honestly 5 years is too long. They've basically left me hanging. I'm waiting milex. That's it for now, I'm frequenting my bloody blog now with more tasty nuggets of informations and vaguely interesting snippets from my otherwise mild and mediocre life. It's only sometimes interesting. Well, I'd like to think blogging about ones life is a sign that one is slightly passionate about it. Cheers all. Oh and um and I've re-installed my twitter yes I'm just that hopeless but I've been spending less and less time there, honestly. You should check them out, anything I say about them, isn't enough to describe how awesome they really are. So bye bye all x
