Baby, the Stars Shine Brite
The secret life of a girl.the strange confessions and dirty little secrets of a girl.

So I finally go up to Slacker's and fed my music habit. I have to say I'm pretty impressed with The Libertines' The Libertines. (Do you italise album titles? I should know being an English major I guess ...)
Standout tracks in my opinion:
"Can't Stand Me Now" ... maybe my last realtionship? Well actual realtionship (3 weeks does not constitue realtionship!) Complete with "I can't take you anywhere ... can't take you anywhere"
"The Man Who Would Be King" ... so good it even pulls of a refrain of la la la-la-la-laa la la la-la-la-laa without being cliche and uncreative.
"Music When the Lights Go Out" ... it reminds me of Primal Scream in the "Cry Myself Blind"-ness but I still really like it... again, story of my last realtionship.
"What Katie Did" ... I dunno what it reminds me of but it's a really great song.
Overall the album isn't as strong as I think it could be but I really like it ... and yes, I am very late in getting it but ... remember, I was saving my money to be a responsbile adult and get married and shit ... and well ... now I'm not ...
Also bought a DJ compliation album. Very nice ... DJ Spooky, DJ Tricky ... and some others. Replaced my copy of Fiona Apple's Tidal since it was under $10 as well.
The next major purchase will be a new haircut... complete with highlights (and lowlights)

Thank God your not getting married. You're way too young. Libertines is awesome. I don't know if you know the story but Can't Stand Me Now is sung by both singers in the group, Carl and Pete. Pete is now kicked out for being a smackhead/crackhead. He's the one who sings...
No you've got it the wrong way round
you shut me up and blamed it on the brown
cornered the boy kicked out at the world...the world kicked back
alot fuckin' harder now
Pete now has his own band called Babyshambles which just played Glastonbury... and they are not so good.
One of my favorite new albums now is The Bravery. It's quite a nice one.

The Bravery is pretty good. I'll have to check out Babyshambles - maybe when I get that ipod.
