their self titled album...are there other albums? I really don't know much about them except that petes a heroin addict whos fucking kate moss...heh

anyway...i bought it cause i heard a sample of a baby shambles song and liked the sound and i was gonna buy that but for some reason i ended up getting the libertines instead. (figured i should start with that...)

what are your favorite songs? anyone feel like giving me a little band history?

whatever im bored

I like, "What Katie Did" and there's another one. But I'm not home right now and I'm awful with remembering song titles, so I'll get back to you.

well their first album (the libertines is the up the bracket).best song on up the bracket is what a waster,also really like up the bracket and time for heroes.their second album is the s/t one which i prefer to up the bracket i love the s/t so much its easily in the top 5 of the decade with is this it and stories from the city stories from the sea respectively by the strokes and pj harvey.my faves on it are music when the lights go out,what became of the likely lads,cant stand me now,last post on the bugle,campaign of hate,and road o ruin.in the states they have an ep called i get along for the song i get along and an ep what became of the likely lads.petes band the babyshambles have a cd down in albion-albion what england was called centuries ago its good.then there is carl barats other band (he does lead vocals along with pete-in cant stand me now carl starts off then pete starts off with no you got it the wrong way round so if you wanna learn who sings what theres a key)the dirty pretty things their album is waterloo to anywhere its ace.i think carls voice is beyond sexy and find him to be currently the hottest guy in rock.

so what album do you guys prefer s/t or up the bracket

I prefer the selfitled, especially the songs "music when the lights go out", "the likely lads" and "last post on the bugle". But the whole album is great. I like Petes songwriting and his voice a lot, though Carl's vocals aren't bad either.

Up the bracket is alot better imo

Ditto, I love that album.

Up The Bracket is MILES better. For a start the band was still speaking to each other when it was recorded, and you can tell because the record just has a lot more spirit to it.

as i'm listening im digging music when the lights go out a lot. what a cute little broken heart number...

so the band wasnt speaking while recording this album..? (s/t)

Pete and Carl weren't on good speaking terms. They hired security for the recording sessions to stop bust ups.

crazy...

music when the lights go out. my favorite song by them
