YAY 400! :dance: whoo hoo! Steph, I definately would love to! haha. I mean fuck, yanno, I'm definately planning on going to all their Atlantic Coast shows when they come here (NYC, Chicago, Boston, Philly? etc etc). Then... yanno, why the hell not, might make a trek over anyways... :laugh4: :sneaky: Hey, and this might be random, but would you want me to try and fix the red eyes on that?

That's my kinda fan! Seriously.... if they don't announce anything, and announce another massive UK tour for this summer or later this year or something..... I'm there. Because otherwise, I don't think I can handle it anymore! :laugh4:

cheers, red I think that video made EVERYONE fall in love with them! Wonder why that is, I mean it was really just the first video I saw for some reason.... :laugh4: Seems like every new DPT fan must come across it, then! ahaha

awwww Harmony. :heart: :heart:

awww thank you! That's what I like to read, definately, so it's just waht I end up writing.... I can't read huge block paragraphs, guess I'm sort of a journalist at heart all the time :laugh4: Just glad you gals are reading and liking, :)

LMFAO omg it's that one? :laugh4: I do need some lightness in my fic life... :uhoh: ahahaha awwww you're way too kind... I can't even imagine being in the same category as her, her writing's so awesome... :stunned: ;) STEPH. YOU'RE KILLING ME. :dead:

mmmm he is, he is. So lovely, I love John :nice: and uh.... just because... :uhoh:

I should probably start reading that, need some new fic... :thinking: hmm

oh hey, look at the hat :laugh4: :uhoh: (take note that that hat was not worn before he met stan... :sneaky: )

Inspiration. :wideeyed:

Hmmm, then yes maybe I will send him a message! Yeah, I just would love to see the band, damnit, and I think an answer is something that we could all appreciate. I totally get that it would be difficult, and I don't care if he says "maybe not for a few years" because hey, that's alright. I accept that. But it's more.... what the reason is, or something like that? Anyhoo WHOO 400!!!!

He so is fuckable. And heeey, so that's when the Libs were still together with Stan? lolzzzz hm. :uhoh: :sneaky: eeee thanks for the link Tea! Some stan I hadn't seen..... :uhoh: :bigcry:

Hey, yup no problem :D Bruno: http://www.sendspace.com/file/62abkq Underhanded Romance: http://www.sendspace.com/file/0j1ay5 I've also put these album links up on the first post of this thread, so whenever they expire and someone rerequests them, I'll edit that post. (welcome to the forum, by the way! :) Hope you like, S4L's amazing)

mmmm John Hassall, ex-bassist for the now disbanded Libertines and frontman for Yeti ;) mmm.

............... LMFAO. OMG AW. :heart: Where'd you get that, Tea?? Andy and Red're gonna flip! :laugh4: New John pics are quite elusive, yes.

That's a first... :stunned: Since when have they gotten NICE? :laugh4: awwww just went and read Drew's messages, he's so sweet. I really kind of want to ask him if they ever thought of coming over here. Obviously not saying soon or anything, just if I had that to look forward to, or had SOME hope, that'd be cool. I'd like to know the circumstances with Peter's drug problems and convictions... I don't want him to think I'm being forceful, though, or obnoxious, because I'm not. Just would love to know...

Ahhhhh :heart: the shambles! Damnnn. :wideeyed: heh, yeah I was about to say... that's not Peter! :laugh4:

^I love him! :heart:

Yeah, I mean I've read tons of reviews on the album and it always seems to come across that way. I wanted to mention the Libertines, obviously, because I feel as though an artists history is incredibly important to their current music that's released.... but I didn't want the main focus of the interview to be that. A lot of times that's the vibe I get that people feel as though they ARE the new Libertines. And yes, they make music that I think could possibly stand up to it, (like, what I meant, music that could have made it on a Libs album) and music that stands up to all the new Libs copycats out there. ;) I really had to mention the fact that they are a seperate band, though, and all members should get their due time. Glad you like :) I'll have to read those Drew messages when I come home from school ;) but the first one already makes me go AWWWW omg omg omg :heart:

haha, don't even think for a second I didn't giggle over writing "bouncing off each other" :laugh4: :laugh4: :sneaky: Too much fic for me!

Well, I reviewed 'Waterloo To Anywhere' for my journalism class... here's what I came up with... Hope it doesn't sound like I was taking a stab at Doherty or the Libertines, because I seriously wasn't. I was just trying to make the case that people should stop ignoring Carl! :laugh4: ;) It would be easy to jump to the conclusion that Carl Barât's lyrics throughout 'Waterloo To Anywhere' are taking a stab at his old bandmate, Pete Doherty. Actually, it would be extremely easy to make this entire review about Doherty, as the Libertines seemed to become to the press in the end. Barât's new band, Dirty Pretty Things, may not have the super model girlfriends hanging around after shows, may not have the drug charges and canceled shows. But they do have a sound that could stand up against anything the Libertines put out in their day. In a world where there are a thousand new copycats a day, Barât's similiar sound actually has a credibility, without sounding forced. From the begining it is rough and under-produced, with strong reminders of Arctic Monkeys' debut coming to mind. Like Turner, Barât's lyrics document the many drunken brawls on English streets. Yet Barât is more universal. He sings of a disenchantment with himself and society, with lyrics on the cusp of being political. The chorus to 'Gin & Milk' demonstrates this, "No one gives two fucks about the values I would kill for/Give them something to die for/Give me something to die for". This is a sentiment that anyone can relate to at some point in their life. This instant identification with his words is Barât's genius. He speaks for all of us, even when he speaks of himself. Ex-Libertine Gary Powell joins Barât once again on drums. With former Cooper Temple Clause member Didz Hammond on bass, the rhythm section is tight and powerful. Barât takes lead guitar along with Anthony Rossomando, the two of them bouncing off each other, creating an interesting sense of controlled chaos. Rossomando also takes on the trumpet, playing a brilliant lead-in to the song 'Bang Bang You're Dead', a song that boasts a chorus so addicting you'll find yourself humming it days later. Dirty Pretty Things are more than just Carl Barât's new band. They're more than just the 'New Libertines'. They are a band full of four seperate and highly talented personalities. Barât was always overshadowed by his troubled co-frontman Doherty, with his escapist and poetry laden lyrics. Yet Barât is more real. He is someone that you can look up to and follow without worry. From it's clutter-filled begining to an ending that slowly descends into mania, Dirty Pretty Things have a winner.
