Factory Girl & Honky Tonk Man !!
Here is something that we can agree on.
I LOVE THE LIBERTINES !!!
I saw them live back in May. Despite the typical UK music press hype they were not the second coming of The Clash BUT they did make a great album that Mick Jones from The Clash produced.
They remind me of The Clash and The Jam. Like "what if Paul Weller joined The Clash and they all recorded Setting Sons.
The songs I love are What A Waster, Horror Show, Time For Heroes. They also covered their producer's song "Somebody Got Murdered". IMO it's not as good as Mick's but how COULD it be.
"What a Waster, What a fucking WASTE, a Two Bob Cunt"
Great Lyrics
My advice K ? You will actually like the KOL album better but give The Libertines a listen. I prefer BOTH bands to The Strokes. I like The White Stripes best of all the bands mentioned.
Also, is "Ethyl" bothering you K ? lol :-)
HEY ETHYL, go play with Lucy and leave these kids alone. I will start a thread just FOR YOU to play in. (What are friends for !!)
You too Otis.
Later, J
P.S. Syph says "Hey !"
P.P.S. For Alex or anybody who knows, WHAT'S THE STORY about one of The Libertines breaking into another members house and going to jail ? Or is this just a bullshit story ? |

Hey, CF! I like the Datsuns. MF From Hell rocks.
Hey, HT Man! Which do you like better-Libertines or the Datsuns? |

It's no bullshit story. He broke into Carl Barats flat and served about 3 weeks in Wandsworth Prison. Pete Doherty claims that he broke in to get some stuff back which Carl had borrowed. He took an NME Award and a vintage guitar, amoungst other stuff.
FG, i hate the Datsuns. The Libertines are more my thing. Get their album (Up The Bracket) Im hoping you will like it. Its got a very raw sound. I don't know what anyone else thinks, but i reckon they sound quite original.

I take it you are not too familiar with The Jam ? :-) Don't get me wrong Alex, I like The Libertines but "quite original" ?? That's like saying the song "Star Star" is quite original. (I suppose it is if you've never ever heard any of Chuck Berry stuff ??) The Libertines have borrowed heavily (HEAVILY) from The Jam, The Clash, and even The Kinks. Still all in all a highly listenable band.
Thank you Alex for the breaking and entering information. When I first heard the news I thought it was either a publicity stunt or something just wasn't quite right. Now I know thank's to you !!!

Yes im familar with the Jam, i guess i just haven't heard their influence in the Libertines. Maybe im back tracking a bit here, but i just think they sound fresh. I honestly don't think we have had a British band like them for years. I never really dug Oasis or much of the Brit-Pop stuff really.
Im glad they are slowly breaking into America. I actually started a thread about the band a day or two ago, but no one seemed interested. I bought the US version of "Up The Bracket" in the States (What A Waster isnt on the UK version) and several assistants told me how great a band they thought they were.

First night of The Strokes 2003 Room On Fire tour .. awesomeness. Not a great recording, but it is very listenable and *very* recommended. We might have an album of the year on our hands coming up later this month.
It's one of those recordings that when you first hear it, you are like, ahh~! But then you realize that you could totally swing listening to the whole thing.
This is taped with good equipment, but mics had to be put at waist level because security wasn't cool with recording ... and thus were not pointed directly to the PA. So imagine listening to a high quality Strokes recording, but with the comfortor of your bed over your head.
So enjoy until there is more new Strokes out there .. I heard 10/14 Toronto and 10/31 Lowell, MA are coming to StG. Now, axiously await!
