Last Shadow Puppets Enlist Kills' Mosshart for EP

Make no mistake: the Last Shadow Puppets have assembled a new EP for their U.S. fans. My Mistakes Were Made for You bundles the title track (off The Age of the Understatement) and seven more hot jams, including live covers of Burt Bacharach's "My Little Red Book" and-- with the Kills' Alison Mosshart-- Lee Hazlewood/Nancy Sinatra favorite "Paris Summer". Those Puppets do like their covers, don't they?

Mistakes is available now digitally and due on CD November 4 from Domino USA, though if you live in the UK, you can score most of the tracks right now by obtaining three different physical versions of the "Mistakes" single.

The Puppets, who are winding down their present European tour as you read this, will be off to the States before October's up. While here, they'll play a pair of dates and make an October 29 appearance on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien".

In news from Alex Turner's other band, fellow Arctic Monkey Matt Helders recently confirmed the group's supposed Josh Homme recording sessions to NME.com. Oh, and their concert film, Arctic Monkeys at the Apollo, hits UK shelves on DVD November 3.
