WHOO psyched!!!

 

 

 

 

So um, I know I always talk about it, but honestly... With Peter's drug charges, do you think he'd EVER be allowed into this country? I'm still thinking of asking Drew on myspace about it. When all this touring's over, that is. Don't want to sound pushy, because I'm not at all. But I remember hearing Adam Green asking Carl about it in the car during that documentary if he could even go to the states anymore, and Carl was just like "dunno" lmfao typical Carl but yeah got me thinking.

 

 

And whenever there's mention of the new album I think "omg tour" and then I remember....

 

:\

 

It's so fucking hard being a fan for them.

Hmmm i'd never really thought about that, as i'm not really clued up with those type of things....what type/amount of charges do let not let you into the US with?

 

And yeah...it really must suck being a big 'shambles fan. :\

I mean, i'm not even a big fan and I still feel pretty bummed thinking that there's a big chance my gig won't even happen, so god knows how it feels for fans like Tea. Really really sucks, and it shouldn't have to be that way. Makes me mad :angry: - but let's not even go there...

:dance: #from way far across the sea...!# :dance:

 

sorry-i fucking love iTunes on shuffle :D hehe.

It's really weird, I'm not sure on the exact regulations, but there's definately really strict drug laws here. I think that it really depends on the charges, but he could possibly have his visa removed so he couldn't come here/stay here. It's possible that's happened, or may happen.... It just... it's depressing, definately. I was just thinking about it now and yeah, I mean I think that's what would keep them from coming here, definately. Not for lack of wanting to (well...... I'd like to think so...).

 

 

I'd rather it BE that though, than it be that Peter just won't make the time, won't make his life work for us or doesn't feel it's necessary to come here. :\

 

 

I dunno, though, because everytime I've heard about an artist's visa being removed was because they had some bigger issue, like political or whatever. Meh.

Ah I see, thanks for explaining.

This sounds really negative but it just all seems pretty bleak to me right now :\ ...I mean, the new video & songs are fucking awesome (yes i'll admit, I had my doubts), so it's all there, they could have a good future as a band, musically, as far as I can see anyway. They're such talented guys. - but it just seems to all be hanging on Peter and this stage of his life, right now. Whether he makes the right decisions now or not seem to be crucial, like this is the big moment of truth, if you know what I mean.

Will he stay clean (if he is?!) and get his act together, get rid of those fucking hanger-ons for good....or will he slip into his old ways again, and continue letting fans down.

I just don't know anymore....I try not to think about it too much, it hurts my brain.

OMG LMFAOOOOO I just watched the 5th Gear clip, hahahaah Stan really can't drive can he!?! "Oh god dammit I did it again!" :laugh4: bless him!

 

I loved the way Carl randomly got out his harmonica and started playing a tune :lol: :nice:

 

Thankyou again Tea :kiss:

Yeah, it hurts my brain too.

 

I'm pretty much convinced they won't be here for a LONG time if anything. Ah well... I mean I don't need them to, it's just sort of a dream and all that.

 

 

I really do think this is the time that's going to define a lot, a turning point of sorts. It just can't go on one way or the other any more, there has to be a change. And so far there has been.... but then it just all falls apart. Then songs are released, and it's great, then it falls apart again. It's just a constant state of confusion and all that. It's just tough, because it's us fans who always stick by him that end up getting hurt.

 

But we keep coming back for more, haha. Goddamnit, I hope he realizes that. We deserve something. He's done so much that would easily make me stop listening to him permanently, but I don't.

 

It's the music that matters though, not the seeing them live so much, so as long as they keep releasing stuff like this, well, that's all I can really ask.

 

Might just pose the question to Drew, though, in a strictly questioning, curious way. No 'need-to-know'.

Ditto to all you said, really. I don't know what else to say...you said it all right there ;)

 

And yeah, I dont see any harm in asking Drew, especially in that way...I say go for it. :wink:

 

On a happier note - im watching BB diaries (lmfao its becoming a nightly routine!) and lmfaooo I still crack up at the "I'm TRYING to enjoy the Aztecs" :dozey: bit every fucking time. He's just so funny, omg :laugh4: :laugh4: I dunno why that bit just gets me every single time. lmfao im such a loser.

 

Ohh Carlos :nice:

LMFAO Carl is hysterical, seriously. :laugh4: He's got this face that makes you think he's totally serious, but there's no way he can be because everyone else is laughing, but still you wonder... He's strange. haha

Totally :laugh4:

He's got real british, dead-pan kind of humour, I love it. :nice: I wonder if he knows how funny he is.

 

Ahhhhhhhhh chinese dogs. Oh iTunes shuffle I LOVE YAAA! :D :wacko:

I don't think he has any clue. :laugh4: That makes it even funnier, aw Carlos. We love ya! :nice: haha :heart:

 

 

 

oh my god. *refuses to put back on* I HAD TO TAKE A BREAK! Plus rocking out to 'Heart In A Cage' is just a lot of fun right now :laugh4:

Ah man, dont even talk to me about the Strokes! A guy I live with loves them, and I hang out in his room quite a lot (god that sounds bad lmfao, we're just good mates, he has a girlfriend) and he's always got them on. We all sit singing along to every word and air-guitaring haha, its pretty cool actually :nice:

He said the day I moved in he remembers hearing me playing The Strokes and the Libertines in my room and thinking he was glad he'd be living with someone with good taste in music :D hehe. Made me smile.

Awwww! When I go off to college I'm hoping that there's someone like that with me! Cuz I'LL be that person! :laugh4: :laugh4: Oh god it just hits me at such random times how much I love them lmfao lmfao. /random outburst haha

Yeah, it hurts my brain too.

I would send that in a letter to Peter himself if I could :\ Damn, so true.

 

:laugh3: Carlos is such a special person. It's that kind of person that when everyone has stopped laughing at this really good joke (to which he hasn't laughed, of course), he drops this extremely funny comment that have everyone laughing ther arses off again. Yeah, if that made any sense... still, we love him :nice: that's it!

Oh and that's definitely one of the reasons I kinda wish we moved for uni. We don't :\ so, it's still my family putting up with my music taste :laugh3:

I hope so for you too!!! :)

It's nice to be living with people who appreciate my taste in music, for once in my life!!! :nice: AND my friend who lives above me thinks Didz is hot! :D

 

back off bitch :angry: LMFAO. :P

 

 

Eeeeeeee don't you just love it when Stan goes (sorry, in BB diaries lmfao im still watching!) "we finally made it to the top man!" and does that goofy little smile :wacky: and then when he's got that bloody mask on and is popping up and down behind the wall :laugh4: LMFAO. :heart:

 

And I just noticed Gary's black manbag (lmao) with the skull&crossbones all over it - maybe that's why he loved my necklace! :wideeyed: He's got such good taste! hehe.

Whoo, random, but yeah it just hit me how brilliant the 'Up The Bracket' video is. I fucking love it so much, it's just perfect. Really defines them for me, defines everything about them. That sort of chaos, but the sort of glamour of it. I love the shots of the Beatles record, and the jackets and lmfao John drinking the milk and seriously he has the cutest smile wtf. Andddd yeah. Just brilliant :nice:

I just love that, he's so adorable.... agh. I want to go traveling with Stan, that'd be so fun lmfao lmfao

 

 

:uhoh:

 

 

yeah. LMFAO

The bit with the balloon, running around :nice: Seriously, all of them are SO MUCH FUN.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I love that video a lot lot lot :wideeyed: Joooohn :wacky: Was it completely necessary for him to be walking in an alley? Drinking milk AND smiling? You are provoking me mr. :dozey: tut tut.

Dani - I totally agree with you about the UTB video, it just captures the whole spirit of what was (in the beginning, anway) The Libertines.

Love love love it :nice:

 

And I know what you mean about the chaos-glamour thing, I hadn't thought about it much but it's interesting now I do :thinking: ....'cos maybe that is a lot of what drew me to the Libs.

I mean, for a while now i've been living a bit of a crazy way of life, some would say 'burning the candle at both ends' lmfao!, (without the drugs of course! ick :sick:), lots of nuts gigs, staying out 'til dawn, crazy parties, lots of booze :uhoh: haha, and they sort of glamourised all of that - a lifestyle which is actually physically pretty abusive, but fuck, is SO much fun. :D

And they sung about it just the way it is....no fucking about, straight to the point. I love the grimy lyrics about times in London, and Bristish society in general....obviously I can relate, as could the fans, which I rekon was a big part of the appeal.

 

Ok im rambling now.....but yeah, they were fucking amazing. End of. Wow :heart:

mmmm... alleys......

 

 

lmfao milk. I don't view milk as sexy, but fuck yeah. Anything John does is sexy.

lmfao I didn't milk in THAT way. I just meant the second bit: John SEXWOPRETTYILOVEHIM.

It's kind of weird, for me. I mean, if any of you guys saw where I'm from and all that, it's so NOT the Libertines lyrics. It's not any of that. I live in a really small, republican, all white and pretty closed-minded town, go to a really small high school where there's 112 kids in my graduating class, it's the smallest state, there's no clubs or real venues that you can go walk to, since I live out in the woods. It's just like... so NOT the London scene here :laugh4: But it's just so weird that I really can relate to the lyrics. I mean, it really was Arctic Monkeys who introduced me to the Libs, since the minute I got into them I just loved all of it. I guess I've always been that person who WOULD end up doing all the things in the songs, but just couldn't lmfao. So when I heard the Libertines, it was the same thing.

 

 

I dunno, it's just sooo random sometimes when I think about it. No one in my entire school knows who the Libertines are/were. No one knows Shambles or Dirty Pretty Things, literally no one. I have an art portfolio that I made that I put pictures from NME all over (like Strokes, Libs, Razorlight, Kooks, Arctics, etc etc) and no one knows who they are. It's so random lmfao.

 

 

I think someone misplaced me!!! I shouldn't be here :laugh4: Which is precisely why I'm moving to NYC! :laugh4: :P Close as I can get to that scene anyways haha

Well I think it's pretty fucking cool Danielle. Seriously. Especially knowing where you are from and about your school etc.

 

When I was at school (i went to a rough, rough school) if you didn't like what everyone else liked, you pretty much either got beaten the shit out of or just bullied for it. So I pretty much decided in my head to just 'conform' the whole time I was at school, which is rediculous, but I did. And I wish I hadn't now...it was spineless.

 

So you just keep on being you hun :wink:

 

And if your move to NYC is anything like my move into London, you'll have the best time of your fucking life, and finally feel like you belong. It's a great feeling :nice:
