"My Mistakes Were Made for You" single (The Last Shadow Puppets)

Seeing as how The Last Shadow Puppets' album The Age of the Understatement is so great, I was excited to see the band had released a cool single for "My Mistakes Were Made for You." Specifically, there were two live remakes that piqued my interest: "My Little Red Book" and "Paris Summer," which is performed with Alison Mosshart of The Kills. I was not disappointed. Those two tracks alone are worth the price of admission. The a-side is the album version of the title track, which is great. The other tracks are live and acoustic renditions of songs on Age. Those aren't as exciting for me, but are still worth hearing as they're executed quite well.

Tracks:
1. My Mistakes Were Made for You
2. Separate and Ever Deadly (live from New Theatre, Oxford)
3. Paris Summer (featuring Alison Mosshart) (live from the Olympia, Paris)
4. My Little Red Book (live from New Theatre, Oxford)
5. The Age of the Understatement (acoustic)
6. Standing Next to Me (acoustic)
7. The Meeting Place (acoustic)
8. My Mistakes Were Made for You (acoustic)

The Age of the Understatement (The Last Shadow Puppets)

The Last Shadow Puppets' The Age of the Understatement is a surprisingly great album. I didn't expect to be enjoying it as much as I am. The music is ace and I'm quite keen on the case and disc design as well. Some of the songs hearken back to older times, but incorporate those influences in such a way as to not simply be a retread of what's happened, but rather to advance them in a modern and enjoyable way.

Tracks:
1. The Age of the Understatement
2. Standing Next to Me
3. Calm Like You
4. Separate and Ever Deadly
5. The Chamber
6. Only the Truth
7. My Mistakes Were Made for You
8. Black Plant
9. I Don't Like You Anymore
10. In My Room
11. The Meeting Place
12. Time Has Come Again
