Obviously, as I make my way through my obsession of The Last Shadow Puppets, it’s only natural that I listen to one of the core member’s solo music. Thus, I am listening to Miles Kane’s first solo record, Colour of the Trap. Spelt that way because he’s British, but I’d probably let him get away with it even if he weren’t.

Mini Mansions Guy Walks Into a Bar… – Album Review
Oh man, I wish every song off of this album by Mini Mansions was more like “Works Every Time.” A lot more singing by Michael Shuman, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Let’s start breaking down Guy Walk Into a Bar…
Read moreMini Mansions – The Great Pretenders Album Review
I will say, the second full length album from Mini Mansions, The Great Pretenders, is a winner. As soon as the first track kicks off, I was hooked.
Read moreMini Mansions Self-Titled Album Review
It’s hard to believe this band has been around since 2009! I first heard of Mini Mansions a few years ago with a song off of their third full length album. Up until my recent obsession with The Last Shadow Puppets, I hadn’t really considered giving the rest of the band’s catalog much time. Obviously, that’s changed. Instead of starting with what I knew, I decided to start from the beginning with their self-titled debut album.

I do believe my love for this band in never-ending. The Last Shadow Puppets have only released two albums over the course of 13 years, but I hope me being this late to the party means that they are close to putting out a third (and hopefully not last) record. Watching old live performances on Youtube have been a joy and Alex Turner and Miles Kane are mesmerizing. It’s clear these two have fun on stage! In order to cement my love for them, here is another drawing. Fear not though, I’m sure there will be plenty more to come.

Sure, we can use the word obsessed right now. I think that’s fair. But I can’t help it! After listening to The Last Shadow Puppets and Arctic Monkeys near constantly for the last six months or so, what can you expect?! So anyways, since I just reviewed Arctic Monkeys album, AM, pretty recently, here is a drawing of Alex Turner from that time. So suave!

As 2021 roles along, artists are still offering up new music, and I will take any that I can get. Within reason, of course (here’s looking at you, country music). Here’s some of the latest and greatest!
Read moreArctic Monkeys – Favourite Worst Nightmare
Back at it! Now that I’ve thoroughly listened to Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, it’s time for me to move onto the Arctic Monkeys’ sophomore effort, Favourite Worst Nightmare. Although it’s a sophomore effort, there was certainly no slump here! In fact, it’s sort of mind-boggling that the band was able to release something so strong in just a little over a year after their debut record.

Look, I held off drawing this as long as I could. Not because I thought it was going to be too difficult, but because I really only drew The Last Shadow Puppets like a month ago. I don’t want to come off crazy. Also, I do have other things I could draw, but this band has been on constant repeat since I started listening to them a few months ago. Who am I kidding, it’s a full-blown obsession! And I treat my obsessions with fan art. It’s the highest form of flattery I can offer. So with that, here is another drawing of Miles Kane and Alex Turner of The Last Shadow Puppets. I assure you, this will not be the last drawing you see of this band…not by a long shot.
