Nice article from the Guardian. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/fridayreview/story/0,12102,1271605,00.html)
The prints in the gallery link at the bottom are pricey but cool looking.

They have been playing the new single on WOXY. Good stuff.
-
So am i up to date with the knowledge that they are back together again? I saw them (sans the junkie member) a year ago and thought they were great. Sounded a lot tighter than I thought they would. Could only imagine how excellent they would be with the entire band?
-
Their Black Cat show last August (?) was one of my favorites of 2003. Lots of energy, couldn't even tell the guy who normally sings them wasn't there.
I've been hoping they make it back over here, but had heard about these problems tearing the band apart. With a new album, might they play the East Coast in the fall?
-
Well, the one libertine who splits the singing chores was there...the messed-up libertine who's an addict and tried to rob the other one wasn't.

Pete has been in and out of rehab lately. Hasn't been on tour with the libertines for awhile.

markie, ggw, let's see that guy on guy action!
pete was in rehab in the far east somewhere, but then left, and has been gigging/not showing up for gigs with some wolfman band lately. technically he's not in the libertines anymore but if he were to clean up his act he would be.
-
GGW - you rock for this.
If anybody was able to get tracks 1 and 6, will you kindly PM me? Thanks in advance.

Posting that link to the songs has made my week, so many thanks! Only now, I'm frustrated again due to the fact that a Libertines North America tour has been anounced, sans either DC or Baltimore!!! Argh! I was at the Black cat show and even w/o Pete it was easily one of my top 5 concert experiences ever. The libs need to get on this message board and take notice that the DC area at least has a couple die-hard Britrock fans around here worth playing to :p .

The Libertines are coming to DC Oct. 19th! And Radio 4 is supporting. I got this info from a Radio 4 newsletter, so I think it's legit. No venue listed.

ooh that would be alright...............
-
Brilliant! :D I checked Radio 4's website and the date is there as well. Now I don't have to plan on how to get to Philly when one doesn't have a car.
-
As Napolean Dynamite might say,
"Yesssssssssss!" *closes eyes 3/4 shut*
-
The Libertines are on Jimmy Kimmel tonight.
-
Oh yes...I'd forgotten!
Also, the album's streaming next week on NME (http://www.nme.com/news/109549.htm). May be easier than the song by song link you already put up, ggw.

Ex-Libertine escapes prison term (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3618908.stm)
Former Libertines frontman Pete Doherty has been given a suspended four month jail sentence after admitting possession of a flick knife.
The singer was found with the weapon by police as he drove to his home in Stepney, east London, on 18 June.
Doherty, 25, said outside Thames Magistrates' Court: "Justice was done and I am grateful for all the love."
He served two months in jail in 2003 after being found guilty of burglary at bandmate Carl Barat's home.
Felt 'innocent'
The singer, who has battled against drug addiction, arrived at court standing up through the sunroof of a Rover car.
Wearing a pork pie hat, he played a guitar as the car stood in stationary traffic.
A dozen fans surrounded the vehicle and, when asked how he felt, Doherty said: "Innocent. What about the Magna Carta, did she die in vain?"
The court previously heard that Doherty said the four-inch knife was a present for a friend and that he had forgotten about it.
Defence lawyer Frank Brazell said there was no suggestion the knife was ever going to be used as a weapon and it was a "foolish, if you like almost romantic, mistake" to give it as a gift.
"He is not someone with a history of violence. Those who know him well say he is quite the opposite, a peaceful man who pretty much abhors violence."
'Exceptional circumstances'
On Wednesday district judge Malcolm Read described Doherty as a "highly intelligent young man" and a "very successful person".
He added: "Yet in June this year you brought back from holiday an item that is an offensive weapon only made for one reason.
"It is a vicious looking item and you were well aware it was a dangerous item as you broke the tip off."
He told Doherty that custody was the only sentence for such an offence, but he said he suspended the prison term for a year because of "exceptional circumstances" in the singer's life.
Mr Read added: "You have a position in your community which you should bear in mind at all times."
The singer parted company with The Libertines, who have had five Top 40 hits in the UK, earlier this year.
The band's second album, called The Libertines, was released this week. Doherty now has a new band called Babyshambles.

Like Steve Earle did, the best thing that could happen to this crackhead junkie (as Earle was) is a prison term.
-
Ahhh, but the debauchery truly makes this band interesting. You just don't know how long they will last. Plus, their music is good. What's everyone's reaction to their new record?
-
I guess if you think someone killing themself is interesting. Yawn inducing to me.

i love it, not as much as the first album, but i think it's great. it's a really sad record, though, if you listen to the lyrics and think about the situation they're in. and it's sad to think that this may be their last album.

It's his life. I'm sure he's aware of the ramifications.

We've got a problem with our dishwasher. Probably because he's a Martinez, not a Maytag.
I can't believe I actually own a dishwasher.

So you have water and gas hook-up at the trailer park?
