So I'm at the Brooklyn Museum and enjoying this extremely homoerotic sculpture Fallen Angels (1893) the other day.

There's so much going on in this sexy tangle. How can you tell they are fallen, you ask?

Snakes in their hair.

At first I'm all, woah, why don't they all have wings like our finger-biting friend in the first photo?

But they do. The women have BAT WINGS like sexy little vampire succubi. Look at how her wing is folded under her back.

But what I love most about this is how the artist, Salvatore Albano, is literally sculpting the pulsing veins on our top angel's hip. And our finger-biting bottom's wing primary feathers are literally caressing the top's crotch.

I used to work in museums and this is among the horniest artworks I've ever seen. While past me would have been asking all the real questions like: Who was this made for? Where was it displayed? Why the weird gender differences with the wings?

Present me just wants to figure out how to put this sculpture in a gay romance story. My queer old heart will not accept less. 🤭

Today I discovered that Alex Turner was not* in a relationship both times that TLSP projects started.

Timelines:

Jan 2007 - Alex and Johanna Bennett break up

Feb - Mar 2007 - AM on tour with The Liitle Flames. Alex and Miles write together. (* Nb: they had written some songs at the end of 2006 too so technically I suppose he was in a relationship then but hardly saw her)

Apr 2007 and Jul 2007 - TAOTU demos done.

6-8 Jul 2007 - T in the Park. Alex and Alexa meet but she already has a boyfriend.

Aug 2007 - TAOTU recorded in France.

Oct 2007 - Q Awards. Alex and Alexa officially together for the first time.

Apr 2008 - TAOTU released.

End Jan 2014 - Alex and Arielle break up.

11-20 Apr 2014 - Alex and Miles go on a road trip to Coachella and listen to old TAOTU songs on the way. Miracle Aligner first strummed.

Rest of 2014 - Alex and Miles - Power Couple Era

Dec 2014 - Aviation written.

Mar 2015 - Alex and Taylor get together.

Summer 2015 - EYCTE recorded in Malibu.

April 2016 - EYCTE released.

This is all just a very long winded way of saying what I said at the beginning. However I thought the timeline made the history clearer (well it does for me). I’d never realised that Alex and Alexa weren’t properly together when TAOTU was recorded in France during that idyllic summer…
