Head on over to The Good Ship (here) if you wanna chance to nab a copy of The Books of Albion. More giveaways coming, including Carl’s memoir and some obscure goodies for those of you who have every damn thing.
Every time I go to make a gif I understand why the moment has never been giffed before, cos when the gif is isolated it’s always completely unclear what it’s meant to show lol. Ugh
The Libertines 🇬🇧❤️✨ What an amazing but surreal few days!! The Curtain provided a leg-crushingly awesome and intimate gig; we made friends, met the guys who were all so lovely and kind (not to mention generous with their time), marked by Carl’s messy handwriting then we did it all again the next night at The Forum & Cherry Bar!
“I miss the purity of what me and Pete had together when we started out. It would be great to have that back. Pete always used to say, “Imagine the songs we still have to write.” That thought is always with me.”
“He’s quite a strange fella, Carl, really. He’s so talented, but he gets so wound up and nervous about his own capabilities. He’s always trying to make the excuse. He says ‘let’s go down to the beach’ or ‘let’s go to the lake and try to get in the right mood and try to get in the right frame of mind’. I’ll be like, ‘No, let’s just go sit down with some guitars and do some fucking writing.’ ‘Ah, OK. Let’s…’ It’s amazing what comes out.”
