It seems the British justice system could no longer allow Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty to remain at large. And no, not because he might release another album.
It’s because Pete repeatedly failed to show up for probation hearings among other things that weren’t disclosed by his manager, Adrian Hunter.
The video for You Talk sees the Babyshambles crew ambling around a forest somewhere while Pete Doherty drawls on about loving to get leathered. No surprises there then.
Whenever I hear a new Babyshambles track, I find myself looking out for the musical genius that Doherty & Co allegedly bring along with them. The thing is, I can’t find it. All that’s on offer here is pretty decent indie pop.
So, aside from being mildly disappointed about the fact that Babyshambles aren’t turning the indie genre on its head, tracks like You Talk and Delivery are worthwhile tracks. Although not enough to convince me to buy Shotter’s Nation…
Drew McConnell - the bassist from Babyshambles - asks whether the upcoming Led Zeppelin reunion is valid given that the original line-up will never be complete without John Bonham.In an interview with NME, McConnell says:
If they want to do it then why not? I’m a bit worried about them doing it without Bonham,” he said. “But I’m a big fan - particularly ‘Houses Of The Holy’ (1973 album). A lot of their records border on that supergroup pomposity, but I love this one as it’s (recorded) live and you can tell how much Moroccan squidgy they’ve been smoking and it sounds fucking great.
Funniest story of the day is the news that Kate Moss apparently has writing credits on four songs off the new Babyshambles album, Shotter’s Nation. By the way, if Shotter’s Nation doesn’t sound like the title of a 1970’s British sitcom, I don’t know what does.
Anyway, it seems Kate co-wrote the songs while in bed with Pete Doherty. News sources don’t say if the songs were written in blood or other bodily waste matter. But given Doherty’s involvement, it’s unrealistic to think it was done with a biro.
Well well. All hail the nation’s most celebrated junkie - the ‘venerable’ Pete Doherty - has got his shit together for long enough to release a single with Babyshambles.
I have to admit to being one of those tabloid readers who scratches my head at every Doherty story and wonders if I’ve ever heard one of his songs. Well, now I have.
