My immediate response... I'm not that bothered.

Miles Kane... was he in The Little Flames? Now, that's a band i liked. Shame they, er, split(?).

He certainly was. Have you listened to the Rascals? Out of dreams is a good record. It's the little flames without Eva Petersen

No, not heard any of the Rascals stuff... but it was the lass's voice that really worked for me.

Do the Rascals use the Little Flames "haunting" echo-y noises?...

Probably more monkeyesque than anything... I like em though. But yeah still some echoey sixties Coral type noises going off.

That your favourite Rascals track?

Again, didn't do much for me. Wasn't bad, just nowt special.

Bring back The Little Flames! :D


And here's hoping that AM change their mind about that 3rd album...

It is. Ah well, I didn't mind the Little Flames, got to see one of their last gigs actually but I prefer the Rascals. But you are welcome to go play Put your dukes up John at my bedroom disco thread and i'll bounce around like a mad alligator to it!

My favourite track on the album is the new single - how gorgeous does Alex look in this video? :love:

They're very good like, but I still like the Artic Monkeys more.

It's ok. I prefer it to Monkeys. Why is there all this comparison with Scott Walker in all the press? Did Alex Turner punch a side of pork for the drum beats?

The new Ladytron album is incredible. Off subject I know, but it's not the first time it's happened.

not a big artics fan but loved this album, very retro and james bond soundtrack-like(awful description but thats what i think when i hear it)

I think there is definitely a 1950s James Bond essence throughout the whole album.

I especially love the song "My mistakes were made for you". Hope its a future single.

I heard a while ago that they are gonna be touring the UK this Winter...does anyone have any more info? ...I know they are doing Leeds / Reading Festival but would love to see them at a more intimate venue. x

Yeah that's my second favourite - love the line innocence and arrogance combined, in the filthiest of minds....

It's definitely a great song!

If you like this sort of music and the feel of it you should check out Candie Payne

Alex Turner's voice is a bit like marmite, you either love it, or hate it. His vocals are very prominent on this but I do like this side project. It's definitely a grower!

The Last Shadow Puppets, The Raconteurs, <----(Oxford Comma) and Vampire Weekend are on constant loop for me.

The tickets, £25 each, were sold out immediately, my son was after a pair.They are now going for £142 on Ebay.
I hate this sort of grubby money grabbing con.

I managed to get tickets! :)
Really struggled though - phones constantly engaged and see tickets crashing ( as it always does)

Got some off the city hall website ...I've done this before and got tickets really easily....I think people forget its there?!!......

Finally:rolleyes:, pay day arrives and i managed to get me a single ticket on the circle row A. :thumbsup:
Not bad, just wish i'd not looked on Saturday at the box office when there was a single on the front row of the stalls! :o

Great, something to look forward to for the Wintertime!

If anybody is looking for a ticket for the gig at the City Hall I'm trying to get rid of one. Face value of course - check out my listing on 'for sale' or pm me.
