Timing is everything... Christmas is coming, and it's time for the obligatory spewing of best of compilations. I suppose while the Albion was still sailing on an indie sea, the Libertines were the band least likely to warrant a best of. What a difference a few years make, and now Pete is a tabloid daling of the highest order and fans of Pete (the indie-light brigade) are demanding more, more more. Going to HMV and actually searching in the 'L's for a nice little copy of 'Up the Braket' is obviously a little too much effort for some people - or so goes the pre Christmas marketing meeting - so let's put a few finely placed TV commecials on late night Channel 4 and put some posters up in Virgin Megastores. Of course we all know it's a cynical cash in of the highest order, a hastilly put together pile of wank, and boycott it if you will. But it's not going to make a blind bit of difference.

Good timing! Christmas is coming, the charts are getting thin. It's time for best of's bonanza. A hastilly put together, cynical cash in of the highest order. Yes, we all know this, but will it make a slight bit of difference? Boycott it if you will, but of course it will sell amongst the emos, the 3am girls and.. your dad, probably.
