Josh Homme and Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner Read iPhone Notes, Discuss Songwriting on Beats 1

Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme has his own radio show on Apple Music's Beats 1 called "The Alligator Hour". During tonight's show, he welcomed his special guest, Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys. At one point, they start reading their iPhone Notes. One of Turner's is the phrase "John Lennon as a TV chef." Listen here; Turner appears around the 30-minute mark.

Homme also talked to Turner about his songwriting process. During a recording session where both men were present, Homme said he was impressed when he watched Turner change a song's lyrics on the fly without writing anything down. "I have notebooks and do write things down, but I don't know how much sense it would make," Turner said. "Often it looks more like an algorithm by the time I'm finished."

Their conversation will continue on next week's episode.
