Yay!

At Last ! !

Pete and Carl have finally reunited! It's been nearly a year since they were last together, and today they finally talked to one another at a pub. Carl arrived first and when he found out Pete might be arriving later, he decided to stay. When Pete finally arrived an hour and a half later, the old friends nervously hugged. They sat down and chatted for a short while and hugged again but with more affection. The meeting ended with them complimenting each others clothes and showing the labels of their jackets to one another. Lets hope the meetings don't end here.

Trying. . . Not. . . To. . . Get. . . Excited!

Babyshambles are currently recording their first album! The NME reports that they've already done songs 'Gang of Gin', 'Fuck Forever', 'Albion', 'My Darling Clementine', 'Black Boy Lane', '32nd of December', and more. They're still working on recording songs such as 'The Man Who Came to Stay', 'Killamangiro', 'Babyshambles', and 'What Katie Did Next'. This is some very exciting news, but I've learned to never get my hopes too high when it comes to Pete and Babyshambles.

I have a question. Babyshambles is always spelled differently, on iTunes it's Baby Shambles, some others make it BabyShambles, I do it Babyshambles, so does anyone out there know the correct way to write Babyshambles(or Baby Shambles or BabyShambles)?

Apology From Me

I'd like to apologize for the lack of updates, I've just been so busy with my classes. Midterms were last week. I still have a lot of work to do, I have books reports to write, novels to read, a midterm to make up, and a topic for an essay to think up. Spring break is next week so the week after that I should be catching up with the Libertines. It's kinda pathetic though, I'm spending my spring break getting my wisdom teeth removed, searching for a job and catching up on school work.

Happy Birthday, Peter!!

As every Libertine fan must know, today is Pete Doherty's 26th birthday. I'd like to wish him a calm and crack-free birthday.

Pete, I hope you stay clean. We're all proud of you.

Crazy, yet Successful

Peter's band Babyshambles played a chaotic gig last night at the London Carling Brixton Academy. The show was interupted twice. The first time was because the people in the front were getting too crowded, so they left the stage to calm them down. That's certainly a good reason to stop the show. The second incident was because Pete disconnected Patrick Walden's guitar. This was apparently an accident, but Patrick was seen trying to punch Pete. They were seperated and were taken off the stage to resolve the problem. The band came back together and finished the show. Although there was some problems it's been reported that the show sounded great.

Oh, and Pete didn't miss his curfew; he had it extended to midnight for just February 22 to play the show.

Ahhhhhh! Time to Rant!

I received my favorite American music magazine in the mail today and I'm sorely disappointed. The issue featured a readers poll for the music of 2004. Here's a list of some of the categories, there are three results for each poll(I'll leave out the results from the lame polls about The OC):

Best Band:
1. Interpol(yeah I like them)
2. Yeah Yeah Yeahs(used to hate them, but then they grew on me)
3. The Strokes(as long as their third album is good)

Most Overrated Artist:
1. The Killers(fuck you, spin voters, the killers are awesome)
2. Franz Ferdinand(ehhh...i don't think so)
3. Good Charlotte(agree, should be #1)

Most Underrated Artist:
1. Interpol(whaaat!? interpol is always in spin)
2. The Shins(ok)
3. Yeah Yeah Yeahs(but they've been on the cover of spin!!)

Best Breakout Act:
1. Modest Mouse(agree)
2. Franz Ferdinand(agree)
3. The Killers(agree)

Best New Artist:
1. Franz Ferdinand(but I thought they were overrated. hmmm.)
2. The Killers(damn right!)
3. The Arcade Fire(i don't know them)

Sex Goddess:
1. Karen O(i guess)
2. Gwen Stefani(should've been number one)
3. The Donnas(totally)

Sex God:
1. Julian Casablancas(sometimes looks hot, sometimes like shit)
2. Paul Banks(um...there's better)
3. (tie) Jack White and Brandon Flowers(brandon! brandon! brandon!)

That's only a few of the many polls featured. So, did you notice anything really fucked up? NO LIBERTINES! You'd think they'd at least make it in the Most Underrated category because they are in the U.S., or Carl would be one of the Sex Gods. Thank goodness I also have a subsription to the NME, if these polls were in there the Libs would top every list. Wake up, America, the Libertines are amazing.

Carl Barat Now a Solo Artist

Carl has signed a deal with Vertigo records. An album might be coming out by the end of the year. Carl has hinted that other members of the Libertines might be joining him.

If a member of the Libs join him it will probably be Gary, seeing as both Pete and John have new bands now.

Oh, and here's Carl in his silky robe. I love this pic:
