everybody wants to be a libertine
I love the libertines.. or i did. now i dont know which way to turn. on one hand the
libs are carrying on without pete and are supposedly pretty good still. and on the other pete is carrying himself to oblivion with the babyshambles. maybe i should forget about the politics and love both. the babyshambles rock. i wonder if im the first to throw a pogues/macgowan comparison at this. i bet im not. I always loved the pogues and shane solo and pete really reminds me of shane. in his nihlistic nature and the simplicity and sensitivity of his songwriting.
anyways enough rambling. there are some great downloads available at the babyshambles website including an entire concert recorded at the whitechapel rhythm factory in london in may this year
you could also check out the libertines website to see what theyre up to
www.thelibertines.com it doesnt seem to be working at the moment though
dont forget to buy stuff if u like it *e*

Tell me more about the libertines...
the libertines are a phenomally hard working squat band from london. actually i dont know if theyre squatters anymore. theyre kind of famous now. they kind of sound like a clash/jam/early lemonheads stew and they have a quite amazing live sound and presence. id say check out the website but it doesnt seem to be working today. earlier this year they parted company with singer peter docherty who has branched off with the babyshambles. who sound kind of similar. hope this helps.. or try nme.com instead
