Can't Stand Me Now

BREAKING NEWS. As of 9 hours ago, it has been announced that THE LIBERTINES ARE REUNITING FOR READING & LEEDS FESTIVALS in 2010! Not only are they reunited, they are HEADLINING! It has been six long, miserable years since they last played together.

I AM NOT SURE I CAN EXPRESS HOW HAPPY THIS MAKES ME. I never thought it would actually happen. (to be fair, I probably shouldn't get my hopes up too much, seeing as Pete Doherty may be serving another stint in jail) NOT THE POINT. The point is, is that quite possibly my favorite band is reuniting. Oh! I know the stories! I know the history! I know the demos and the singles and the unreleased tracks! I know the drama! HOLY CRAP I MIGHT DIE. AND, it is a FULL reunion. All original members!

Granted, they are reportedly being paid 1.5 million pounds and they aren't actually reuniting for real, or to make an album, and they will probably just play the big songs, and I won't actually be there, and they might just be doing it to pay off debts they accumulated on drugs, and they might never play together again...I'm bumming myself out now.

edit: I just watched a short clip of an interview with them, AND it seems that they are just as excited and seem genuine about it. Which, I know that Carl Barat (one of the frontmen) has said before that if they reunite, it has to be for the right reasons. And he has turned down huge monetary offers before. AND, he has also postponed reunited since 2008/09. SO, that gives me back some hope.

Here is some Libertines at their best and worst. It is sort of a painful music video to watch, in terms of that song was basically documenting the eventual break up of the band. (sigh), oh, Libertines, how I love thee.

edit: Oh, umm, sorry about the naughty parts. >_> I forgot about those.

The Fox, The Crow, & The Cookie.

I almost forgot about the music weekend! Luckily I am on spring break, so it is still technically a weekend for me. Doohoohoo!

Oscar Follow-Up 1,2,3.

1. I was hoping Sherlock Holmes would win for best soundtrack. If it didn't win, I hoped that The Fantastic Mr. Fox would win. If Fantastic Mr. Fox didn't win, I suppose UP would be okay. So Meh, alright, UP is good. It really was very good music, I think I'm just still hyped up about Sherlock Holmes. Plus, I got the soundtrack, so I know all the tracks better. Oh well, I though UP was cute.

2. I don't like The Blindside. In fact, I hate the Blindside. It is embarrassing that it would even be in the same category as the other movies that were nominated. With this said, I think it is easy to see why I am annoyed that Sandra Bullock won for best actress for her role in that movie. Her character was so obnoxious to me. Although I realize it doesn't matter if the character is likable, it is the ACTING that is important, I thought that the character itself had little depth. The movie overall, was painful to sit through, and the idea that it would win over movies that are so powerful as they were (I mean, winning over Helen Mirran and Meryl Streep? Really?) Ugh. The only redeeming quality to this is that Sandra Bullock was funny and she seems likable enough.

3. Ben Stiller coming out as an avatar character was hilarious, even though his eyes creeped me out. I liked Penelope Cruz's dress. I did not like Charlize Theron's dress. Robert Downey Jr. and Tina Fey's presenting bit was hilarious to me. Although I liked Neil Patrick Harris's introduction, I don't think anyone can live up to Hugh Jackman's introduction from last year.

Ready For The Floor

Oh, Oscar.

This Sunday!
