top five favourite tlsp/milex moments?

5. tie. i feel this in my balls sexually.

4. tender puppy kith

3. i feel this we overlook this moment as a fandom. a lot is said without words here.

2. their pre-coke era (2010-2014) embraces

honourable mentions:

- their freaky innuendos in written magazines

- EVERYTHING that happened in cleveland. including boners, alex carrying miles bridal style, and giving their jerseys to fans

- all the times they dedicated songs to each other

- when they were licking each other in tokyo?

- rock en seine. 🥲

1. the TINY split-second clips of them in the bad habits mv.

i hope you enjoyed my slideshow of insanity. would love to hear everyone’s input in tags/comments

Alex Turner and a Vest

Hypothesis - Alex’s behaviour is wilder in TLSP when he is wearing a vest. I’ve had reason to believe this is the case for a while. So, I did what any good student (and insane person) would do, and set out on a fact finding mission with help from @sophaeros ‘s wonderful outfit guide (it made things so much easier, thank you so much 💕)

There are more sources than images, due to Tumblr limits.

Studio Coast, Tokyo

Here we have whatever this chair thing is, crawling around showing off, a photo I’m fairly sure did the rounds on a soft porn website, and of course - the licking game

1 2 3 4 1 gif and master post

Olympia, Dublin

Here we have a very normal amount of staring, crawling between Miles’s legs, whatever that is with the mic stand, and of course, the bandana squat in Calm Like You - bonus lyric change “I was young, in the frost, no regard for the cost of sharing my feelings”

Radio One’s Big Weekend

Here we have rolling around on the floor, doing bicycle kicks, ninja kicks - things he would blatantly lie about not doing years later to Annie Mac, when she witnessed it with her own eyes. Not to mention the ridiculous flirting in the post show interview.

Europavox Festival, Clermont Ferrand

Here we have diving on top of Miles, pressing the mic into his chest and angling for a kiss, forehead nuzzling and of course, the infamous tie pull.

Primavera Sound

Here we have the notorious nuzzle and lean, unspecified wiggling and of course, bowing down to Miles’s greatness (as he should)

1 2 3 4

Bristol Summer Series

Here he just looks like an absolute menace to be honest, jacket on or off, but link 3 is the squatting Dracula Teeth performance… (too big to embed sadly)

1 2 3

Ferrara Sotto le Stelle

Here we have another photo I’m pretty sure did the rounds on soft porn websites - speaks for itself - wiggling around during Moonage Daydream, moaning during Bad Habits and looking like an absolute life ruiner (though that could speak for every show though, let’s be honest…)

Cleveland

Here…. We all know what happened here. But apart from that… giving an impromptu performance outside and carrying Miles away (presumably for a long nap, to rest after an exhausting show…)

1 2 3 4 5 (master post)

Fillmore, Detroit

Here we have the infamous (I seem to be saying that a lot) “I’ll give you the D - I wish you would…”, straddling Miles playing guitar, and the Miracle Aligner secret verse

So, what conclusion did I draw, if any? Without doing a blind study against a random selection of shows where he wasn’t wearing a vest, I’m not sure that this is a fair test. But, it did seem there was a higher instance of wild behaviour when Alex was wearing a vest. In fact, what prompted me to investigate this was that most of the insane moments that instantly came to mind, he was indeed wearing a vest. Whether this was due to body confidence and feeling himself, or simply being later on in the show (feeling the heat and needing to remove jackets etc, possibly with more alcohol consumed) we may never know. But I feel that there is sufficient evidence for my hypothesis to stand.

Bonus: Yellow Suit

Apparently Alex only wore the yellow suit twice (it felt like a lot more to me, but I am biased, it’s one of my all time favourite outfits). So I didn’t feel like I had enough data to try and prove or disprove, but just for fun:

Rock Werchter

Here we have whatever on earth that is, suggestive singing to Miles and of course wearing his jacket on his head because reasons?

1 2 3

Coachella

Here… Again, we all know what happened here. But apart from that, attention seeking twirl, a very dramatic clinch during The Dream Synopsis and one of my all time favourite photos, again of him looking like an absolute menace.

Should I have spent my time doing literally anything else other than this? Undoubtedly yes, but I am nothing if not a conscientious student and lover of science.

2005 Alex and Miles, Alex on the floor in a sleeping bag watching Miles sleep on the bed, lying on his side with his hands between his thighs....please
