The new year has barely begun and Carl Barat has already given us a reason to wish it was over. Meaning that Barat dropped a bomb of hope for a Libertines reunion in 2011 while talking to the Evening Standard. Or as he put it:
"It's not definite definite. I can say 2011, but it's hard to plan the Libertines until next Tuesday. But 2011 is where there's room for that to happen. So if everything's all right, then, yeah, it would be glorious to get on the old jacket and venture forth, into the known."
Barat also said that for anything to move forward, he would need to figure out whether or not him and Pete Doherty could work together again. And apparently, that's not a quiet reference to Pete's junkie tendencies. Barat said doesn't really care about that, answering a question about that topic with this:
"Well, once he's settled into his grooves, and he's fine, and he's not hurting himself or anyone else, then that's all fine with me."
I don't know about you, but this all looks good to me. Enough to get me hoping and playing Up the Bracket really loud again at least.
