:stunned: I can't stop looking at him and thinking about him and rambling about him. My friends who are sadly in a chat with me right now and dealing with this would vouch. I won't shut up about Anthony. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!?!?!

Something funny I just noticed while stalking around looking around myspace... Josh Paddington in the red shades. Stanthony with said shades. :laugh4: They're so cute. I really want to fuck Anthony :) :bigcry: I'm sorry!! But I just can't... i can't hold it in guys. I really can't do it.

Thanks for telling me! I'll write it down and set my tivo! ;) Thank you so much for those scans!! :D I really appreciate it :nice:

I was hoping it doesn't look too ameteur? I want a really sleek, clean website if I'm going to make one (Andrew Kendall and the Cobra Snake are the obvious role models here :laugh4: ). I mean I know I'm still a very ameteur photographer, but I figure I do have some nice shots, so why not try having a credible site to direct people to? gotta start somewhere!

The sunrise is beautiful!!! Great shot, I love how the reflection of the sun lines up with the palm trees. And Andy, that photography is great!! I love the beach picture, reminds me of one I took this summer! :nice: beautiful.... Don't have many new pictures lately at all, seeing the Strokes on Monday though so I'm psyched for new concert photography :) I feel out of practice, I haven't properly been able to photograph bands since August! oy vey!!! I'm really thinking of making a website for my photography. I've decided to call it Rock *N* Serve, since "rocknserve" is a name I use for a lot of things for no real reason (I saw it on a pop up about 4 years ago and I use it for tons of things). So if/when I get a website, I want to make this picture of mine that I edited the header: Quite proud of that picture. (Carl Barat fyi ;) )

You're my hero.

I will!!! I think I accidentally unsubscribed to that thread actually, cuz it doesn't show up on my User CP anymore? :thinking: Damn the USer CP makes me so anti social :laugh4: *goes to post in it now ;) * Have fun partying :D

d] Dirty Pretty Things 1. Carl's lyrics. See: lyrics to BURMA. 2. The dueling guitars. Carl and Anthony are both genius guitarists, and they compliment each other perfectly. When one is the filler, the other goes off on a solo and vice versa. For an example, see Gentry Cove. 3. The love between them for each other. Ok, seriously, gayest band ever. But all jokes aside, it's obvious they're all very fond of each other on a friendship (:sneaky:) level, it makes the live shows that much more intimate. 4. The live shows. As close as a Libertines as I could get, they connect with the audience on a deep, deep level. They make you forget where you are for an hour, you just hang on for dear life and give in to the music. Absolutely blinding. 5. The balance between Carl and Didz voice. Didz starts two songs, Enemy and You Fucking Love It, giving you a good sense of balance with Carl's voice. Just when you may need a break, it adds a whole new sound. Plus Didz voice is amazing. 6. They're amazing to photograph. Seriously: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rocknserve/sets/72157594242094835/

Oy, I hope coldplaying let's me post my comments now. b]Peter Doherty 5. His respect for fans. Never has a show gone by when he has not thrown something out to the crowd, be it a hat, a setlist, a shirt or even a guitar. He's given away downloads of songs for free over the internet, and is never one to shy away from speaking the truth so we fans know it. It may come across to others that with the canceled gigs he doesn't give a shit, but the man is no saint and we know that. We respect him and his problems, give him distance when he needs it, and we are repayed ten fold. He throws himself into the crowd, and lets the crowd throw themselves onto HIM. 6. His sense of style. ;)

THANK YOU! OMG.

WTF AT COLDPLAYING. WHY WON'T IT LET ME POST MY COMMENT :bigcry:

:dance: Good job Therese!!! :laugh4: omg ok I admit I kind of flipped when I saw her. holy shit duuuuude. She's radiant in person. I'm really jealous of Carl :uhoh: Seriously, I don't know who couldn't fall for her. Ok, so I've got an idea. Since we're all a bit shaken and feel really alienated and ostrasized on this forum (I know I do) let's remind ourselves why we're posting here. Maybe compile a list of 3-5 reasons why you love: a]The Libertines b]Peter Doherty c]Babyshambles d]Dirty Pretty Things e]Carlos Barat (I'd put the rest of the band members but yeah ;) We'll compile a big list whenever we can't think of anymore and then if anyone ever insults our honor or credibility again, we'll point to it! So I'll start... (Maybe try not to be TOO general, either, and support yourself if you are haha don't mean to sound like a teacher but it'd be cool to yanno, impress the people who need impressing from us) a]The Libertines 1. Their honesty. The lyrics are from the heart, from the deepest recesses in their souls. They're not afraid to let everything out. They're not afraid to say the word "cunt" in a song. They'll write about rape, and death, and drugs ("brown" mainly). That may be disgusting, but they always wrote about love, lust, sex and beauty. They don't cover up with cliches, or pointless "i love yooou"'s or anything cheesy. It's simply the truth, it's their lives. 2. The basslines. Seriously, listen to the bassline on 'Boys In The Band'. There is a run in there that is simply brilliant. John Hassal is a hero of mine. I cannot figure this run out!! I don't think Didz can either, I heard DPT playing this at sound check and he just sort of messed around at that part :laugh4: So brilliant. 3. The live shows. They played like there was no tomorrow, like any minute they could be dead, and that seeped over into the audience. You live for now and the future and meditate on the past when you go to a Libertines gig. And although I never did, I certainly own DVDs and countless downloaded live performances where you can see this emotion portrayed on the audience's faces. It's beautiful. Sure, they were violent (both the audience with each other, and the band members with each other). Yes, half the band might not turn up. But each show was an event, not just "another day, another gig". It was life and death, and it was beautiful. 4. The secret gigs in their flats. Announced through their message board by the band members themselves, they would have actual gigs in their homes, sometimes with so many people turning up they'd pour over into the halls, out the windows, in the street. It destroyed the barrier between the artist and the fan, making them real people. Although I don't live in London nor did I know of these things when they were happening, just hearing the stories, seeing the pictures, it makes me respect Peter and Carl that much more. They cared (still do care) about us fans, more so than (in my opinion) any other band has since or before. They opened their homes to us, and we opened our hearts to them. I'll let other people start on the rest, I'm typed out! EDIT: You don't have to put like, a bunch of things on why you love each of the bands/peter&carl that I listed ;) I'm just looking for evidence on each thing to support our claims that they're KICK. ASS. ;)

Is this the guy from Supernatural? I love that show! I haven't watched it in awhile though :\ I missed a lot so it's hard to know what's going on. I'm really obsessing over the Paddingtons right now :nice: lmfao! I don't want to know WHAT Andrew did to get Tom to look at him like this.... :uhoh: ahaha

i LOVE THAT INTERVIEW!!! :laugh4: they're so awesome ahah

^I saw that on the forum this morning, really cool picture! :nice: whoo, thanks Therese!!!!! That's amazing. Well, if you've got them in three parts then maybe each of the parts can fit on youtube.... hmmm! (I like uploading things there since it helps other fans out who can't find a download link ;) ). Haha, while I'm going through my pictures, let's play a game! Can You Spot Annalisa? Can you?

Wow, thank you!! :D I'll download/listen now! :) That's very nice of you! He actually looks a bit like Carl in that second one? Well, maybe it's because Carl's posted right above him :laugh4:

lmfao, No one (and I mean NO ONE) has Carlos' cuban heels beat! (lmfao, picture by me) love didz' heels too. I really want those shoes! :uhoh: lmfao I so bought a pair of pants exactly like Carl's today to wear to the Strokes on monday (I act like such a chav sometimes, ahaha).

:dance: :dance: He looks like SUCH a rock god with the long hair live, swinging around in the wind and rain at Oxegen..... oh lordy *takes a breather* That's what made me fall in love with them, they looked like such fucking COOL rock stars! wheewwww But he's cute with short hair too, so whatever. I'm good either way. :laugh4: I SEE THEM IN A DAY AND A HALF. OH LORDY LORD LORD.

:laugh4: Drew being attacked by Peter, that's so cute ahaha I think my ignore list just grew! :idea2:

Love the song lyrics in your profile, Andy. I was just blasting that this morning and obsessing over that part!

Nah, Mark's the hopeless one :P (and he seems to really be the only one amused by his own thread, oh well). ANYHOO. yay. I have nothing to add lmfao other than I think DPT is my band of the day! :D

Who's that?

You're welcome! Hmmm, DVD, so......... when is this released all over the place (aka: not here :laugh4: )

Here we are, here's 'bang Bang diaries' on youtube! :D : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGZRz4qZ7wQ

ooooooooooooooh the enemy................... :stunned: my god. beautiful. LMFAO I read that as cocky, and yeah Carl's voice is pretty damn cocky sometimes! :heart: haha oh my lord though... drew...... didz..... we should just have one big MUSICAL orgy with them. I wish shambles and dpt would record together.... that'd be a ton of instruments on one record but fuuuuck man!
