Brit punk

The Libertines were a pop-punk band founded by Carl Barat and Pete Doherty.  It's Carl Barat's birthday today. He was born in the quaint village of Basingstoke, Hampshire in 1978.  When you visit Basingstoke, you can stay in this modest cottage.

 

In the music video, Barat and his mates are I believe referencing an older cute British pop group that sometimes wore red uniforms.

It's appropriate that these blokes are singing about the sun. It's a rare sight where they grew up and it has been rare this spring where we live.  Yesterday and today and tomorrow, however: sunny and bright. Yay.
