Pete comes across as an intelligent, warm, charismatic guy, i thought.

The video is totally unrelated to the song here, but i just love the 80s throwback video theyāve used on this edit.

my wife is from talkeetna alaska - when this was filmed/aired it was a HUGE deal to any of the local youth.
everything about this is ācringeā, in the modern parlance of our times. itās shockingly embarrassing how bad this at all levels - the music thatās being promoted (edited out of the show for copyright reasons iām sure), the pauly schtick, the absolute uselessness of it all. and the fact that it was being pumped directly into teenās brains via co-ax cable. thereās times we want to revere MTV for fleeting moments of awesome, but the reality is that it was pretty much always bilge.

I havenāt seen the show, but I donāt think Iāll ever be able to think of Pete Doherty as warm, knowing he fled the scene to save his own skin when Mark Blanco lay dying on the pavement.
I donāt think weāll ever find out if Blanco fell, or was pushed over that balcony, but either way that was just an horrendous thing to do.

Awww, great tunes great barnets surely. I like the fact they made the effort and spent hours backcombing their hair and doing their makeup.
I think this would have been me if Iād been just a bit older, electro pop, indie, bits of weird disco. Looks fun

Is it sad to admit I loved the barnets and thought many of the girls were gorgeous? Maybe just triggering past teenage lustā¦

I watched the Theroux intvw at the wkd. I donāt think it was quite the puff piece people were making out. There were a lot of awkward moments. But it did feel like he was allowed to sidestep the Blanco death. No matter how much he is reinvented as a French gourmand that baggage will always be there. In 2005 I lived with someone in bethnal green on the edge of that whole clique and she painted a pretty seedy picture of arty wasters and groupies.

Such a great track. Think I first came across Gaz Nevada on that amazing Baldelli CD that came out around 2006
