Alex + Alex (music review)

1. Alex (Kapranos) = Franz Ferdinand

FOUR YEARS after Tonight (which unfortunately hadn't much success...even if I really really like their funny lyrics ('Twilight Omens', 'Ulysses', 'No you girls',...)), here are 10 new songs!
Okay, I don't (already) understand everything they say ("We're fresh strawberries..."*/"Car keys choose your keys..."**), but their music still sounds as FF but with some very nice improvements (choir, rythme, trumpets or hypnotic chorus).
And Alex's voice is great, excited and sexy with his improbable tones. This is a great album to dance, jump, run or to make some exercice :)
So, yes, I love this album and it could become my favourite one!


2. Alex (Turner) = Arctic Monkeys

Okay, I already wrote about this album (here), but I was OBLIGED to make a review. Why? It is awesome! Okay, Alex's voice is soooooooo sexy, but music is amazing (bass on 'Knee socks' or 'I want it all', guitar on 'Do I wanna know?' or drums on 'Snap out of it'), more mature and lyrics are still good ("Secrets that I have held in my heart are harder to hide that I thought..."*** / "I can't explain but I want to try, There's this image of you and I..."****)
One negative point? I worried they'll become too American...because, yes, we feel this sunny hip-hop californian influence on their work. Not bad. Yet.
Love it, but should be my 2nd favourite of their albums ; 1st = Worst Favourite Nightmare...

"I'll meet you coming backwards

I'll meet you coming back

When the universe has expanded

Time will contract

You'll come back..."

"And her lips are like the galaxy's edge

And a kiss the colour of a constelation

falling into place..."

> Arctic Monkeys

Choice. Irregular Choice.

1) I named this post like that, because I watched a James Bond film last weekend...  haha...

2) Choice. Because I listened to The Hoosiers's second album today...and one of their song followed me from then...

3) I love shoes and I adoooooore this trend! We are in spring and we have to wear COLOURS!! J
Don't you think there are incredible?

and this is THE  boutique, on Carnaby Street (London):

Stop giving me choices...."    > The Hoosiers



PS: You already saw mine!!! 

WOW! Think I am in love...

I just met a boy.

Yes.

He's Canadian (from Ontario), 30 (proof of maturity J), actor (3 movies this year), musician (his band: Dead Man's Bones, a mix of gothic rock-folk ; listen to In The Room Where You Sleep and Buried In Water my favourite ones) and so handsome (just fell in love with his eyes and THAT smile...)!

"I can't take my eyes off of you..." (OMG!)

Crazy, Stupid, Love...what I feel about you...

I couldn't stop looking at him..."   > Inna Modja
