Which album do you like more? The Libertines or Up the Bracket?

[SiennaInLondon]

Hard choice as I love both like I love life, but if push came to shove, I'd say Up The Bracket for its rawer sound. In an interview the boys said someone liked their sound to opening a packet of crisps and that they were well impressed by this. The 'packet of crisps' quality is what makes Up The Bracket that little more special. The Libertines album has the label and the producers all over it, which whilst no bad thing, doesn't have the hope and style of a first album.

What do you think?

up the bracket i say, only because it has time for heroes. both of them have gems though.

i was watching a show on pete and at the end he sang a song..i dont know what it was called, but he played it aucoustic..it sort of sounded like regaee but im not sure..anyone know the song?

[lemeray]

Pentonville? It sounds a bit Jamican, I think thats the one your talking about.

I found this on the imaginary socialite's blog and well.. I just don't get it.
ok, it was under 'rumors are people too' but is there any truth in this?


(hot off the presses from my new favorite pub, SuperSuper Magazine…)

The Samaritans have today recruited 600 extra staff to deal with an expected surge in calls as troubled fans come to terms with today’s revelations about rocker and teen icon Pete Doherty. In a surprise press conference today, the men behind Doherty’s career revealed themselves and admitted that the Libertines, Babyshambles, the tales of drug use, the armed robberies and the affair with supermodel Kate Moss have all been part of one of the largest hoaxes in British history.
The men behind the scandal - Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, who were themselves infamous popstars under the name The KLF - admitted how they plucked a young Buddy Holly impersonator Doherty from obscurity and made him a media darling. Mr Drummond called Britain’s pop-culture “sick” and said that although he regretted the hurt caused to Doherty’s many fans, he hoped “this incident taught us all some important things”.
“The plan involved proving three theories we have about current British society,” reads the statement. “The first is that in the so-called “alternative” scene, everybody is too scared of missing The Next Big Thing to worry about anything else.” Soon the buzz around The Libertines was so frenetic, journalists were falling over themselves to claim to have been at the front of every single fictional gig.”
How this affects the future career of Pete Doherty remains to be seen.

i don't believe that, it sounds very unconvincing and bill drummond is a complete idiot

[SiennaInLondon]

No I saw that. It was hilarious.

They wrote a whole essay on how they thought that the whole Pete Doherty sage must be the biggest hoax in British history because it was too insane to be true.

Classic!

Think of how messed up your head would be if it turns out it was all a hoax... I don't believe it because Pete is too raw - and I'd have to say Up The Bracket so much more Libertines than Libertines

[SiennaInLondon]

Well I know I'd need the Samaritans help line!

Up The Bracket for me, it's fantastic, so raw. I love the lyrics on both, but The Libertines makes me a little sad - It's the break up album, right?
Don't forget to watch the NME awards on Channel 4 tonight at 11:35 if you're in the UK - Pete's doing an acoustic set on there.
