Don't think I'll ever actively search out their music or go to one of their shows after hearing an account of one of my female friends with Miles at an after party of one of their shows recently.

Ah come on now. You can't say that and not give us the details. They seem to be enjoying themselves on this tour at least. This video from the Dublin gig is funny, the two of them high as fucking kites

I saw a bit of these. Pretty inoffensive stuff and I quite enjoyed the Bowie cover

I didn't see them at Glasto. I'm also in the i-live-Arctic-Monkeys-but-think-Alex-Turner-is-a-bit-of-a-knob camp, but definitely don't think this act is something to be taken seriously. It looks fun!

Does anyone else think of that Tom Jones impersonator in Only Fools and Horses who couldn't pronounce his Rs when they watch this? Just me?!

Aye, Moonage Daydream was surprisingly good. They've covered I Want You (She's So Heavy) in the past and that's pretty good too.

Re-playing this set on Iplayer right now! Enjoyed every minute of it while I was there, and enjoying listening to it all over again! This thread is more cringe-worthy than their appearance could have ever been!

Brilliant set at T in The Park again this weekend, great cover of The Fall's 'Totally Wired' 

[FakeEmpire]

I really enjoyed them at Glastonbury. Good mix of songs from the 2 (excellent) albums and I was a fan of Alex acting like a bit of a twat on stage. It was all in good fun, I thought.

The Pyramid crowd weren't too bad either - lots of people knew the words and were singing along to album tracks which is sadly hard to find at the main Glastonburuy stages these days.

They sounded great - but it sill perplexes me out of all the acts that Alex could choose to put on he chooses to play the total knob. Having said that, by the end of it I *almost* found it amusing.

'Total knob' would be a bit far, wouldn't it? He's just pulling some facial expressions and saying some dumb things. The other one is playing the 'total knob', albeit offstage - allegedly.

TLSP at Glasto I think was the most boring show I turned upto....and I watched the end of Ratboy which just randomly happened.

It was many a thing, but boring it certainly wasn't. Even if you spent the whole time thinking WTF are this pair up too

Castlefield Bowl was a ball. What a great little venue.

The act he does, when he commits to it, is so obviously playful and silly that I don't know how you can find it cringeworthy.

This x100000

The output for the songs were no way near good enough for Turner's level of arrogance. It's subjective.

Half hour of it yes then Arcadia.

[Badlands]

Second worst act of the weekend, missing out on top spot purely due to my laziness to escape that lass between ELO and Beck whose name escapes me. Awful stuff. 

[nikkic]

They were fantastic at Ally Pally last night, really good show. Gaz Coombes on the undercard was also pretty good, his new album sounds great live.

 

It was a sweatbox inside the venue though, sooooo hot. 

[Mezhyp1]

I have listened to absolutely shed loads of TLSP since Glastonbury. Dare I say they give the best AM have produced (humbug) a good run for its money 

[YetAnotherOldHippy]

Didn't go to see them at Glastonbury as I already had tickets to see them earlier this week.

Thoroughly enjoyed the gig and didn't find anything cringeworthy, even the lady constantly shouting for Miles to sign her, err, front was funny! Also quite a good mix of people there, although nobody would let my daughter through with a pint for me as they didn't believe her dad would be down the front! Young people today, etc.

I'm not sure anyone around me had heard of The Fall either

Now I see the issue here.....you believe Humug is their best album. It has a great song on it I'll give it that.

 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Ooh, can't see this ending well.

I'm curious as to which one song you single out at great? 

Humbug is by far in away AMs most technically impressive record 

 

I'm sure the humbug cavalry shall be along shortly to back up my opinion
