Yes I'm gonna go there. Oh he that is considered God of new music. Get over it.

This is because I read the most factually incorrect article on monday courtesy of Andrzej Lukowski for the Metro!

It goes something like this:

Whether you think Alex Turner is such a lyrical genius that schools should ditch Shakespeare for the words to Mardy Bum or not, one thing is indisputable; he knows how to spend his cash. Most pertinently, he's poured a huge chunk of Arctic Monkeys' lucre into The Last Shadow Puppets. He and Miles Kane have taken the Monkeys' witticism-heavy pop-rock template and married it to the type of luscious Scott Walker/ Ennio Morricone orchestration that only lots and lots of money can buy. That they've less of a national chord than Arctic Monkeys is not in any doubt, as is the fact that Kane's band, The Rascals, haven't exactly reaped any benefits. However, as anyone who saw the Puppets at the Reading and Leeds festivals this summer can attest, none of this seems to matter when your live band features a 20-piece orchestra. Indeed, if the Puppets lack some of the Monkeys' focus on record, the stirring whirlwhind of strings and the fact that they actually look like they're enjoying themselves arguably makes them more enjoyable live proposition. The duo have talked about continuing indefinately, though pending the discovery Kane has one heck of a trust fund, you can't imagine he has much to say in the matter. For now, this band still has the air of a pleasurable indulgence - for us as well as them.

So can anyone see what's wrong?

Well my major point is the fact that he is claiming that this is all funded by Alex Turner. Now however much he has put in I don't think he funds it all, considering the fact that record labels, and especially the superb indie label that Domino is, do put collateral behind a band, not the band paying for it themselves. Hmmmm I wonder what Domino think about this article? .........

Til next time

So I'll use to post to blog about amazing music that comes in the form of ...........

LOS CAMPESINOS

Yeah I know a lot of people have heard of them, well not a lot, but I heart LC! I've only ever seen them once before at a very empty Bradford St Georges Hall but they blew me away. They've got everything you could ever want, so here's the list:

• Boys with guitars - check!
• Keyboards - check!
• Hyper-jumpy-loony lead singer - check!
• Violins - check!
• Catchy songtitles eg This is how you spell ha ha ha we destroyed the hopes and dreams of a generation of faux romantics - check! (and yes this is written on my satchel!)
• Sing-along choruses - check!

So hey anyone who's reading this (no one I bet knowing my luck, but lets not wallow in self doubt now not a good start). Hey I'm Indie Sindy, the rock n roll fashion queen as my friends put it. Well a little about me. I'm a teenager from England (woop woop!), totally obsessed with music and fashion, hence the nickname! The reason for me starting this blog ... basically to air my opinions and get practice for wanting to be a journalist. I really want to study music journalism, but I also love fashion. Now, my style. Some people would call it odd, but between me and Emma we got this description:

Audrey Hepburn, had she run off and married Carl Barat, been a burlesque dancer calld Holly Golightly instead of a socialite, been raised by Marilyn Monroe and Vince Noir (note the use of the character not Noel Fielding, that is important) and been best friends with The Glamour twins, Johnny Borrell and the Queens Of Noize, with mortal enemies of Kate Moss and a hell of a lot of other people. Sound fun or what? 

To start, I will announce the dreaded news of the departure of the wonderful amazing Dirty Pretty Things. Last Wednesday, October 1st they announced their split, exactly one week, event to the time, before I was going to see them. Hmm a quandry for me, spesh with me idolising the lufferly Carlos and the rest of them to be fair, what to do? Well the gig is not cancelled at least, but can I bring myself to go see them? Of course I can duh but it has taken me this long to get over it. Ah well roll on Wednesday, plus get a full proper journalism review and maybe photographs here on Friday. YAY!
