THE STORY OF MILEX

On one of these days (from December 16 to 25, 2006), Al gave Miles a beige turtleneck, in which he will be on the photosets and the SNTM official video.

«It all started with a polo neck. Al gave me a turtleneck for Christmas», said Kane in the latest issue.

(May 2008, Uncut)

«Even when we joked about doing an album together, we said that'd be the cover: Al would be at a grand piano, there'd be a bit of music manuscript, a cigarette burning in an ashtray, and i'd be wearing a cream polo neck».

And then, at some point, they saw this picture of Amy Sillman's Turtleneck and bought this picture, which was in Miles' previous flat and now it's on the wall in theirs (more on this later) house in London...

Sometimes, in moments like this, I think that the Universe itself is in love with Milex.
