1. Most people in NYC don’t really know The Libertines. They’re downloading their new stuff, which is really just a reaction to their old stuff. And if you think “Tell It To The King” is what got Kate Moss out of the Dazed + Confused fashion closet and into Pete Dougherty, you’re wrong. Do yourself a favor and find a copy of “Someone Else’s Song.” That’s the real Libertines. And if you’ve got some good halucinogens, some great wine, or lots of time on your hands, you might also find their cover of “My Heart Will Go On,” which is pretty damn fun, even if it’s not very cool.
2. Did you know that a certain really hot beauty publicist was a bonafide Libertines band-aid last year? She even hitched to the Reading Festival with them. This was pre-Kate, of course, but my feeling is, if this chick can pull off being the Libertines plus-one for six months, she can do anything. And she will, too.
3. This month’s issue of Spin Magazine has a “Top Five Things the Libertines Are Doing Right Now” blurb. I would like to add #6: Reading the Imaginary Socialite. For Real.
