I posted some awards I won from icontests at gold_lion_icons so all showing off is over here
Also I transcribed an interview from over here so posting it here in full before I drive everyone at dptband completely mad
J: This is Carl Barat
C: This is James Allen
J: I was starting up a band called Glasvegas and my mate Carl was in a band called Dirty Pretty Things.
When I met Carl I was unemployed, I was on the dole. I will say this man when I was with him and he tried to tell me anything I knew by the look in his eyes that he cared about me. I meet some people and I care about them, I care about them *mumble mumble* (to Carl) one of the great things, I care about you
C: I consider James a fine fellow, there's not a lot of them about. I think on one hand when I first met Glasvegas is you were definitely a bunch of rebels because *mumble* all bands go through their wilderness and their training and it's like the Rock a Billy Rebels or something.
J: I think the main thing has really been that I've no really got any pals, he's no got any pals so we're pals y'know what I mean. Or have you got friends on the side you've not told me about?
C: I've got a couple
J: how do they measure up to myself?
C: I think you got the best hair
J: oh right
C: but it's funny like I can talk to you about things now I couldn't talk to you before about the ways of life and stuff
J: I know but that's got a natural dynamic in any relationship, boyfriend, girlfriend, you know what I mean, not that we're in any way exploring those activities but the night's young y'know.
C: I don't know many nights I have left in me to be honest
J: Few more of them *lifts drink* *mumble* the reason we stick with each other is not through *gestures to them* it's through outside influences. I have to go or he has to go play a gig or something.
C: I came to your gig with my hair was full of shaving foam and it was in a quiff, like a teddy boy
J: He done like a quiff, didn't ya.
C: Yeah, I did.
J: I was supposed to come up to somewhere you were djing the night after that.
C: Yeah you were supposed to come to *mumbles something about forgetting *
J: It was somewhere up in Scotland anyhow.
C: Ah that's it yeah, yeah.
J: That was quite heavy metal, you made that that day, that was fucking, that was pretty amazing
C: It was pretty ruined(?) though
J: We played that gig in London, we stayed up y'know and after that I'm supposed to get a visa, go to America, play my first gigs ever in America, we were supporting Echo and the Bunnymen and I missed(?) the embassy, dunno everyone made quite a big deal of that coz that's y'know coz we missed this.
C: Did you miss a gig?
J: Emm we had to cancel gigs, aye.
C: Shit, oh well you never know eh.
J: Ian McCullough came on and he was saying where's James? Think maybe he was annoyed because I wasn't there and he was there, just to say why he's late, Carl was late for me that day, you know what I mean there's a rock n roll hierarchy and all that so I was gonna say I love (?) when you never turn up. I was gonna go outside and wait for you to get here.
C: Was I late?
J: You were late aye. Going to America with each other y’know, Glasvegas and Carl is going to play some shows solo. I guess this is the first time you done that, innit?
C: Yeah. Bit of a milestone for me actually. Not quite sure what to expect from it all but eh yeah it’s gonna be a first.
J: I really don’t know what to expect anyway.
C: Quite a challenge.
J: Have you ever done solo?
C: Yeah, I did one gig at Glastonbury and it was the most petrified thing I’ve ever done and everyone says nerves are good but they’re not always good. I can remember the song, I had to stop what I was doing , had to pull myself together. I’m hoping that won’t happen this time, you know I should to a practice gig. I know it’s petrifying but I’m scared of everything so.
J: Why is it scary?
C: Dunno but it is scary, do you not get a bit of stage fright?
J: I don’t get stage fright ever.
C: Really?
J: I sometimes need to check for a pulse man, but no I get excited, I always get excited. I think I’m, I dunno if I’m just too dumb, like something’s lacking there *gestures to head*, I thin I should be getting nervous but I never do but I just think there’s nothing really that bad that’s gonna happen really.
C: Really?
J: No matter what happens out there man,
C: I suppose.
J: There’s really nothing bad that can happen.
C: You’re not, must be bright as a button then.
J: It’s gonna be mental, it’s gonna be mental, every night I’m going to (?) that hot emm hot water bottle, waiting for you, getting warm, on the tour bus *mumbles* electric blanket, it’s gonna be mental, we’re gonna tuck you in every night bud, make sure you’re fine.
C: I bet you are, I’ll show you around a few places meself actually, few things in store for you.
J: Have ya?
C: Yeah.
J: Aye, there’s a few guys waiting for you at the airport with rubber gloves and all that.
C: Yeah, I’ve met them before
J: Yeah there’s only so many fists any artist can handle, but you, you’ll be fine.
C: *mumbles* roles reversed now, you’re doing the father figure, that used to sort of be my job.
J: Do you feel that’s the way the roles are right now?
C: Dunno.
J: And what makes you feel that?
C: No, well maybe it’s just extending a maternal comfort to me (?) just you eh, I'm happy about that.
