FFS. The English Misselayneous or whatever she's called.

If it was "the Summer of 76", that lad would've been in the Cockney Rejects or some even worse "Oi" band.

hh!

See to me that should mean a good thing, and I know a lot of my mates will make that comparison, and it is a good one. But whereas I love old Oi I can't get into this stuff at all.

I prefer Michael O'Neill to these guys.

Oh I love a bit of old Oi! and actually the Cockney Rejects have some decent songs.....I was trying to think of some of the really really shit Oi! bands that I heard on compilations years ago but thankfully I've forgotten most of them. Anyway, that Mr. Sleaford would be in one of them.

I guess they make me think of the press at the time hailing Pete Doherty as the voice of his generation. Always on the look out for the next angry young man telling it like it is (to middle class college educated music journalists)

I like that one Moose posted

Poor Pete Doherty

Such a total mess of a human being.

I still say that first Libertines album is flawless.

Doherty was mostly about poetry and love though, no?

He hardly ever sang about housing benefit and that kind of shit, if I remember.

I should give The Libertines another chance. The hype at the time turned me right off them

First record was a belter. I loved it. Was living away from UK/Ire at the time so didn't know the hype.
First single then off the 2nd record was fab.

Then it fizzled. For me anyway.

 

[Lili Marlene]

They have the kind of devoted, obsessive fans that would turn anyone off a band. And a weird right wing element attracted to their merrie olde englande lyrics.

First album is where it's at alright. Second is hit and miss but the hits are good.

The first babyshambles album is interesting. It's like a perfect portrait of what he was: a very talented guy in the midst of a heroin addiction. Moments of brilliance popping up out of of a horrible mess. Pretty unlistenable but possibly relevant as 'art'. Never really bothered aside from the occasional youtube view after that... seems to be an endless trail of the same old meandering nothings.

i'm not getting the libertines/doherty connection at all

Johnny is wary of anyone that gets an NME cover.

I bought the Babyshambles record for a road trip. It was the only time I ever played it, I think.

Yeah, it doesn't get better (i'd say i listened maybe 5 times?). Only interesting for anthropological reasons really

Yeah, I like that a lot.

The same guy introduced me to both, coincidentally he also does the sounds on the O'Neill stuff.

Maybe The Streets is a better comparison

The Streets is maybe more apposite, yes. Voice-of-young-Britain-telling-it-like-it-is and whatever else people said about him.
The first record was great. Second was spotty.
He was kinda found out too though.


I have no idea who Missy Laneous is. So I'm hardly an expert here.
