I RUN FROM THE DUST AND GLOOM WITH ONLY MY SECRETS TO KEEP ME WARM

Its been far too long since I've done a Libertines related post, so here are two lovely surprises to all you libz lovurz (which should be everyone on this good green earth if I had it my way). The first is an interview with Dirty Pretty Things from musicnews.com. Personally I love reading DPT interviews if only because I don't have to translate Carl's often unintelligible mumbling. The downside of course, is that I can't see his godlike visage. But you can't always get what you want. If you were wondering, yes Boyz is a gay lifestyle magazine. However all of the members claim to be straight (We all know, of course, that this is a gross fabrication).



The second goodie is a mix of Libs B-Sides and rarities. Now, usually B-sides are lo-fi and deemed too mediocre to be put on any actual album. The former could certainly be argued for these tracks but in no way are they mediocre. The sources for these tracks are the singles b-sides, an EP or 2, the unreleased demo album (Legs 11), the legendary Babyshambles sessions, and maybe 1 more I am forgetting. I especially recommend listening to the ones I have starred, because they reflect a very different sound than the romantic punk that everyone expects. It is romantic yes, but the sound is much more mod than punk, you'll have to hear it to really understand, but the Legs 11 album is something I listen to more often than their traditionally released ones. Yes, it is that good. And I don't feel too back about uploading these tracks, bc most of them were given away b the band anyways. Here are the tracks included (not necessarily in order). Enjoy! PS I can tell the above pic is an early one, because their leather jackets look all squeaky and new and Pete hasn't got electrical tape on his jeans.
