Different Class is the fifth studio album by English Britpop band Pulp. It was released on Island Records in the UK on 30 October 1995, and in the US on 27 February 1996.

"Common People" is a song by English alternative rock band Pulp. It was released as a single in 1995, reaching number two on the UK singles chart. It also appears on the band's 1995 album Different Class. The song is about those who were perceived by the songwriter as wanting to be "like common people" and who ascribe glamour to poverty. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as slumming or "class tourism". The song was written by Nick Banks, Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey & Russell Senior

Think Tank is the seventh studio album by the English rock band Blur, released in May 2003. Continuing the jam-based studio constructions of the group's previous album, 13 (1999), the album expanded on the use of sampled rhythm loops and brooding, heavy electronic sounds.

80年代末期英国流行音乐进入低潮，曾创造英国新浪潮音乐的曼彻斯特，这期间也变得萧条。正当英国音乐将在沉闷中进入90年代的时候，一支叫做“石玫瑰”(The Stone Roses)的乐队出现了，1989年，他们的第一张专辑的出版，使英国“独立摇滚”(Indie-Rock)现象进入了新的时代。

“石玫瑰”也顺理成章地成了曼彻斯特独立摇滚界的领袖，这张专辑在音乐上很明显地受到了60年代美国民歌摇滚乐队“飞鸟”(The Byrds)的影响，同时也受到了80年代刚刚形成潮流趋势的Acid House舞曲音乐影响。他们把吉他流行乐与“独立摇滚”相融合并且进一步刺激了跳舞文化的发展，很快被传媒赋予了“新迷幻音乐”的称号。

“石玫瑰”受到乐迷欢迎最主要的是伊恩·布朗(Ian Brown)那漫不经心地演唱和孤傲、超然的性格；诱人的吉他演奏片段和起伏的节奏。不管是专辑中59秒的“我亲爱的伊丽莎白”(Elizabeth My Dear)还是近10分钟的“傻瓜金子”(Fools Gold)都显示了他们这方面的才能。专辑的前四首歌：“我要被崇拜了”(I Wanna Be Adored)、“她敲鼓”(She Bangs The Drums)、“大象石头”(Elephant Stone)和“瀑布”(Waterfall)清新简洁的编配和流畅的旋律使当时徘徊在乏味的英国音乐中的人们感到为之一振。

尽管“石玫瑰”引导了英国独立音乐的跳舞潮流，但是，他们的这张具有重大意义的唱片仅仅显露一点跳舞音乐的迹象。而真正把舞曲音乐发扬光大的是他们的同乡“808同盟”(808 States)和“快乐星期一”(Happy Mondays)。

但时间证明这张专辑的价值，嗡嗡的吉他声也能把跳舞音乐带给了听众，新浪潮音乐的复苏和新迷幻音乐的再生，并且能在90年代的流行音乐中不断地听到对这张专辑的回应之声。

Carl Barât & The Jackals have announced their debut album Let It Reign.
The first album from The Libertines' co-frontman's new band is released on February 16, 2015 via Cooking Vinyl Records.
The album was recorded in LA and London and was produced by Joby J Ford.

Carl Barât is the forthcoming debut solo album by Libertines frontman Carl Barât. It's scheduled for release on October 4th, 2010 in the UK. The album was mastered in New York and will be the first album released through his own self funded record label 'Arcady'.

Japanese exclusive release features six audio tracks, 'Fuck Forever' (Original Version), 'Black Boy Lane', 'Monkey Casino', 'East of Eden', 'Babyshambles', 'Fuck Forever' (Original Version Clean) along with the enhanced video to the title track. Baby Shambles refers to a set of recordings by UK rock and roll band, The Libertines, and to the separate band formed by singer and guitarist, Pete Doherty following his ejection from the band. EMI. 2005.

Libertines and Babyshambles leader, Spin cover boy, frequent gossip magazine and TV show paparazzi target. Peter Doherty fi nds himself constantly at the center of a hurricane of media attention, a windstorm of publicity that constantly keeps him in the public consciousness.
Grace/Wastland is a brave exploration into the eye of the hurricane. A stunning new album that goes beyond the news stories and photos that lays bare a man's soul, an excavation of a heart left desolate. Recorded over a month of sessions in autumn 2008 at London's legendary Olympic Studios with producer Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur, Cranberries, Kaiser Chiefs), Peter Doherty brings to life a collection of songs many which have existed since the heady days with The Libertines. Without the guise of The Libertines and Babyshambles to hide behind, never before have we seen Doherty so personal, raw, and vulnerable in his songwriting. Ripe with lyrical insights, Doherty's main themes are present and truthful - his troubles with youth, music, love and addiction are all revealed.
Adding color to Doherty's compositions is Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, appearing on nearly every track, instilling in the music his pedigree and refi ned studio nous. Scottish singer Dot Allison (One Dove) and poet Peter "Wolfman" Wolfe also make contributions to the record.
So, having laid himself bare, Peter Doherty has left himself open for critical analysis. Take this album for what it is and judge it on its merits, rather than the distortions of truth we and Peter are forced to endure. Think you know Peter Doherty? Listen carefully: this album is Peter Doherty.

Peter Doherty releases new single ‘Flags Of The Old Regime’ through Walk Tall Recordings.
The single was written by Peter about and as a tribute to his friend Amy Winehouse and is released in conjunction with the Amy Winehouse Foundation, who will also receive all proceeds from the profits of the single.
