The Libertines
I've just been getting into the Libertines thse past couple of months after borrowing a mate's copy of Up The Bracket. UTB is a fucking great album, a real modern, shambolic, joyous take on punk music and bluesy rock. I'm glad I belatedly got round to recognising its greatness, and now, the Libertines second (and quite possibly final in the complete form due to the antics of Pete Doherty) is due to be released on Monday.

The first single released from the album, Can't Stand Me Now, is the best single I've heard all year, bar none. It sums up the Libertines talent for producing gorgeous pop-infused punk music and also plays upon the relationship dynamic between Carl Barat and Pete Doherty, the two vocalists and lyricists of the band. They're singing about each other, and it's genuine.

Track list from Up The Bracket for anyone interested in downloading:

1. Vertigo
2. Death On The Stairs
3. Horror Show
4. Time For Heroes
5. Boys In The Band
6. Radio America
7. Up The Bracket
8. Tell The King
9. The Boy Looked At Johnny
10. Begging
11. The Good Old Days
12. I Get Along

Other songs to get are Can't Stand Me Now, as mentioned, and their previous chart hit Don't Look Back Into the Sun.

Anyone who considers themselves a fan of modern punk music should give them a try. They have the attitude to back up their music.

From Paul Berne's autobiography:

Damien Gates tried to use me as a way back into football. That dirty English cunt knew his career was finished and he tried to drag me down with him, attempting to keep me up by reminising about the old times. I could see beneath his lies however, right to the point where I just wanted to smack that bastard.

'I knew I hadn't played well that day, I knew the team hadn't performed to his capabilities but by golly, his head shake made me want to destroy his face'
