From Monkey to Puppet

Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner’s new side-project is a band called The Last Shadow Puppets. The group is Turner and Miles Kane, frontman of The Rascals. Firm friends ever since Arctic Monkeys toured with Kane’s previous group, The Little Flames, the pair were inspired by listening to Scott Walker, early Bowie and David Axelrod amongst others – ‘it was dramatic’, Turner says’ ‘it filled the senses’ – that they hatched a plan.

Single “The Age of The Understatement�? is out now in the UK & here’s the vid!

Album is imminent!

You can see the video for the new Bloc Party single Flux (due out in the UK on November 14) right here.

An intriguing tale of love and robots (plus giant monsters) set to a pounding Moroder-esque Eurobeat with a slightly vocoder-ed Kele. Fantastic! And well worth a look.

New Order YouTube Goodness

It’s been a while since I posted any YouTube videos, so here you go to get you in the mood for ATOMIC. 3 clips of New Order live in the BBC Radio 1 studios, 1984. Fantastic stuff, and well worth watching for the clothes alone (it must have been summer!!), and check Hooky’s work on the drum pads in Blue Monday!

Talking Heads live in Rome 1980

admin — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 03:20:47 +0000

In more Atomic anticipation, some kind soul has uploaded the following live footage of Talking Heads to Youtube:

Talking Heads w/ Adrian Belew
December 1980
“Live in Rome”

Pro-shot live performance of Talking Heads. Another great show from the Adrian Belew era of the Talking Heads. The filming is much different than the Germany show from the same tour, this is much more in your face and the Italians use many different and interesting camera angles.

Setlist (click titles for youtube link):

* Psycho Killer
* Stay Hungry
* Cities
* I Zimbra
* Drugs
* Take Me to the River
* Crosseyed and Painless
* Life During Wartime
* Houses in Motion
* Born under Punches
* The Great Curve

Definitely worth your time watching if you’re a fan, or even if you’re not – fantastic stuff.
