Reason #1: I have no idea.

:'{

I remember someone likening them to The Smiths who I hate, so although I had Up the Bracket on my iPod, I didn't listen to it. You'd be shocked if you actually knew me, because I hardly ever go by other peoples opinions or reviews.

I've subsequently listened through Up the Bracket about 8 times since last night. Plus Narcissist and Don't Look Back Into the Sun.

Stupid, stupid me.

I liked Babyshambles a bit too.



Now to go forth and buy Up the Bracket.

They aren't really that punk anyway. And I think it's more like NME hopped on the Libertines bandwagon rather than the other way around.

I don't really know if I like the Libertines... Don't think I've ever heard / paid attention to any of their songs...

But given they're the kind of band the NME loves 'cos they're teh punx!' I'm thinking I won't like them at all...

I smelt Libertines and I came running.

Quite simply my favourite band, and you all knows it.

Sometimes you can get away with playing open strings, or touched strings over the fret, which helps you play more quickly.

The chord itself is quite tricky considering the song moves along at quite a fast pace, you only play it once then move onto E, so it's quick finger movements required.

[5X6650] is my favourite voicing of Amaj7. Only heard it once (in I Will), lovely sound though.

Heh. Try some Dave Matthews Band stuff for odd chords.
