10. Carl Barat

He’s not the most cheerful looking character, that Carl Barat. This might be due to his on/off bromance with Pete Doherty really putting the kibosh on his career trajectory. Or it could be that he’s just cool like that, and doesn’t do smiling. We’re not sure. Even so, we’d be last in the queue for a meet-and-greet if he decided to do an impromptu appearance at a good friend’s fireworks party, because nothing punches a man harder in the groin than a friendly question met with a dour shrug, and a half-hearted answer. He looks like he wouldn’t care for you and your stupid enquiries. Plus, all the girls would probably think he’s really hot, and that just rubs salt and Haribo Tangfastics into the metaphorical weeping mouth ulcer caused by his alarming disinterest in everything about you. Thanks a lot, Carl.

Hell have no fury like a scorned fanboy. :twisted:

Sweet and rather gay.

Would anybody mind translating it? The whole article, or just the somewhat gay bits, whatever, I'm easy

"the only thing that is separing us are the kilometres. carl and me- thats a relationship thats rolling. if i had to take anyone on a desert island it would be carl. we are very close. this is a bonus for us but a problem for everybody else. we will collaborate together until we die (dont understand this one) green after the concert the head laid down like friends do on the shoulder of ones partner."

"We'll collaborate until we die - which should happen fairly soon," snickered Green after the concert, his head resting companionably on his partner's shoulder.

Thank you swisslove and champagne. It's almost making me wish I knew French just so I could read the rest of that article, if it's all as.... well, sweet and rather gay pretty much has it covered :lol:

Taking your word on that, I give you...

Friends for seven years, the two musicians leap into each other's arms, and Barat catches Green to kiss him on the mouth before a screaming audience. ... 'I was worse than usual tonight. But I'm known for that," Green will later explain. 'I was a bit nervous,' confided Barat, 'none of the guitars were working... because of you. But I love you anyway, Adam.'

...

The Libertines? 'We'll see. Peter and I had agreed to reform the band, but in the end it wasn't the right moment, we weren't going to do it for the right reasons. If I must reform the Libertines one day, it'll be for good, to give it our all and be the Libertines again. The Libertines aren't a band, they're a way of life.'

...

'We wanted to do better, I swear. We'd asked for dancers and a magician, a French magician. They told us they could only get us a magician for kids. In your opinion, what did I reply? Go for the kids' magician! In the end it didn't happen...' the New Yorker later recounted. 'Me, I didn't want any magician so as not to make the audience uncomfortable,' added Barat, before Green interrupted: "But I made the audience uncomfortable anyway, Carl!'

The JD Birthday Set facebook now has a video of What Katie Did/Wild Young hearts/Good Old Days.

Watch him 'overstretched by ambition' here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1 ... 8705143334

Could someone rip this?

Also, go back to the wall and scroll down for the interesting pic that is now on Chrissie's facebook

Wow, that version of "Wild Young Hearts" is a LOT better than what I feared. Haha.

'Bromance?' 'BROMANCE?' ' BROMANCE????' Shoot me now. Please. Haha and people think girls are bitchy! Miaouw! I wonder whether this was one of those 'random expects a treatise on the history of The Libertines from Carl Barat whilst he's having a pee' experiences or a 'so Meester Carl Barat from Libertines and deeerdypriddythengs, what for exemple eez yeower favoureet colour plizz tell RAWKNRAWLFM.COCK now - WEE RAWK!!!'

Especially as Carlos is usually so damn nice, funny, patient and normal to people. I know it sounds arse-licky, but that's my experience anyhow.

I don't think that there's any suggestion that the person who wrote the piece on 'achingly hip celebrities' had ever met Carl (or any of the other people mentioned). It's all about perception based on appearance, isn't it? ... 'He’s not the most cheerful looking character' ... 'He looks like he wouldn’t care for you and your stupid enquiries', etc.

Carmine · **Joined:** Fri Mar 14, 2008 3:20 pm **Posts:** 661

That explains it. I just read that part of it here and assumed this person was speaking from experience. Wow that's a bit bizarre to heap all of that onto someone he's never met.

Wonder what he would say about Pete: 'This googly eyed, greasy giant in a Fedora looks like he might squash your head like a ripe melon, pausing only to wink at you, ensuring small replica Doherty stools for a week or at least until next Tuesday. No doubt the girls would think he was 'cool' whilst laughing and pointing at me as I sit in a corner eating myself up from the inside with supposed rebuffs and resentment towards people I have never met.'
