I receive many emails a week from artists and readers letting me know about new up and coming bands and asking me to review them. A) This is exciting. B) It further substantiates my delusion that I'm a real music reviewer/blogger... Just kidding, sort of. C) I'm far too busy to cover everything I'm sent. [...]
Adam Green parece não estar satisfeito que sua carreira cinematrográfica se resuma a co-autor de algumas músicas na trilha sonora de Juno . E resolveu dirigir, escrever, produzir e atuar em um filme. The Wrong Ferarri estreiou essa semana online e conta com várias participações especiais do mundo da música: Pete Doherty , Devendra Banhart , Sky Ferreira , Jeffrey Lewis e Jack Dishel . E ainda mostra a volta de Macaulay Culkin aos filmes, uma vez que este não aparecia em um [...]
Depois dos shows do Reading & Leeds Festival no ano passado, nunca ficou muito claro se o Libertines iria voltar para mais uma turnê e lançar material novo, ou se os dois shows seriam os únicos, como antes tinha sido anunciado. Pete Doherty até chegou a comentar que deseja gravar novamente com Carl Barât , mesmo que seja no Babyshambles . Os rumores da volta da banda, todavia, aumentaram depois que um produtor do selo de Barât, Power Amp, disse que seu novo contrato abria espaço para os shows [...]
Filed under: News David Ramos, WireImage Pete Doherty has famously had his fair share of run-ins with the law, usually in relation to drugs charges. But while the Libertines and Babyshambles frontman visits Germany to star in his first feature film, reports are surfacing that suggest he may be involved in a less fashionable sort of crime. According to a report in The Guardian , an eyewitness said they [...]
When energy flows unnoticed, through deconstructed post-punk, or any other form, analysis falls short. Imagine reducing rock music to its most basic parts, and re-gluing it back together, on a lot of fashionable drugs. Yes, this niche is necessary outside of Doherty's celebrity. Here is a musical and imagic tribute to Pete Doherty. As a songwriter, he's headed The Libertines and Babyshambles. Here are appropriate proportions of each. The Libertines 1. Music When [...]
Los rockstars son gente rara y, en algunos casos, demasiado para lo que la gente común, como nosotros, suele tener en frente todo el tiempo. Una de esas estrellas de la música es, sin lugar a dudas, Pete Doherty . El ex libertino que actualmente lleva adelante Babyshambles y encaró su carrera solista hace un tiempo con la presentación de Grace/Wastelands . El artista hace un tiempo dibujó un autorretrato que no sería nada raro si no estuviese pintado con sangre. Sí, su propia sangre. Esta obra se la regaló a un [...]
Babyshambles - À Rebours (Fan-Video) Was macht eigentlich Pete Doherty gerade? Keine Ahnung, ehrlich gesagt. Abgesehen von den regelmäßig auftauchenden "Libertines-Reunion im nächsten Jahr geplant!"-Meldungen hat man schon längere Zeit nichts mehr von ihm gehört. Immerhin scheint er noch am Leben zu sein, das ist schonmal eine erfreuliche Sache. Und glücklicherweise ist auch die Zeit vorbei, in der Doherty als drogenabhängiger und randalierender Kate Moss-Lover durch die Klatschspalten der Boulevardblätter torkelte. Wenden wir uns hier also lieber mal einem seiner Songs zu, in dem er und seine Babyshambles den Titel eines sehr einflussreichen, wenn auch wenig [...]
Filed under: News , Holy Hell Simone Joyner, Getty Images What's better than getting an autograph from one of your favorite musicians? Getting an original blood painting. It's also a whole lot more valuable. Like, to the tune of $40,580. That's roughly the asking price (converted from British pounds) that a lucky fan-in-need is asking for his one-of-a-kind Pete Doherty artwork. NME reports that the fan, known as Alistair, approached Doherty, [...]
Pete Doherty , conocido por todos no solamente por la música que hizo en The Libertines y Babyshambles sino también por los graves problemas con las drogas que tuvo en una época en la que salía prácticamente todos los días en los medios por haber sido encarcelado por posesión, ahora terminará apareciendo en la pantalla grande. Sí, al igual que lo hizo Carl Barat en su momento (quien actuó en Telstar ), él también hará [...]
At first I was hesitant with the idea of traveling from Oxford to London for the New Year's Eve festivities, thinking it might be difficult to get around London, and back to Oxford at such late/early hours. But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like it could be a good night out, and worth any travel hassles that might occur. So, destination: Nambucca in London. 596 Holloway Road, Islington. Our friend Greig Stewart ( Guillemots ) was DJing plus Orthadox Junkies and Michael Latif . [...]
Babyshambles' frontman Pete Doherty is working on a french film opposite Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Filed under: News Pete Doherty is said to be trying to recruit fellow Libertines member Carl Barat to join his band Babyshambles as a songwriter. The frontman said he was struggling to finish some new songs written with his guitarist Mik Whitnall and would like Barat to step in. He told Italian Vogue , "There's a couple of songs at the moment that have been stuck on the treadmill [...]
Filed under: News Libertines and Babyshambles man Pete Doherty has been charged with possessing cocaine after a death inquiry also led to two other men being charged with drug offences. An inquiry had been underway to investigate the death of film maker Robin Whitehead, who was found dead in a Hackney flat in London in January, reports the BBC . The 27-year-old director was working on the filming of a documentary [...]
Little Comets - The Isles (via nerdcore ) Gut, rein vom Thema her hätten die Little Comets ihre neue Single auch "United Kingdom" oder "Great Britain" nennen können, aber haben sie nicht. Und streng genommen gibt es ja auch Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Begriffen: United Kingdom ist nicht das gleiche wie Great Britain und die Britischen Inseln sind auch was anderes. Da ihr hier ja nicht nur seid, um neue Musik kennenzulernen, sonder auch um etwas für euer Klugscheiß-Wissen zu tun, habe ich mal zusammengefasst, was die einzelnen Begriffe bedeuten: 1 [...]
Nobunny 's "Love Visions" was the 12th best album of 2008 . No shit. And I still have no idea who the fuck they are. Their Wiki page is hilarious, and it reads their current line up as: Nobunny - Vocals, rhythm guitar Touchy Tony - Vocals, bass guitar Elvis Christ - Vocals, drums, lead guitar Danaheim - Drums They've also got several dozen former members listed there, including Ryen Eggleston, Mark Beef, and TV's Daniel. Their music is even crazier. [...]

Babyshambles - Killmangiro FWP: So what inspired you to open the tanning salon? [cascading sound of something being spilled] FWP: What are those? Pete: These white tablets? FWP: Mmmhmm. Pete: Do you want one? FWP: Wow, there's a lot of them on the floor now. Pete: Don't fret. So this girl Ashley, she was deeply tan. Fucked like a policewoman. Kind of a trash. Big, white teeth. Do you know [...]
Its fair to say that the Libertines reformation has almost certainly been the highest anticipated event of the festival season, amidst multiple rumours, doubts and general speculation all concerns were forgotten when the foursome finally made their appearance on stage. Despite not many Libertines fans being too impressed with Dizzee Rascal's performance. [although to his credit I felt that he put on an excellent show, even if I don't have much interest in his music, but I'm still yet to hear Boy in Da Corner .] The scramble around the stage when Dizzee finished was pretty frantic! [...]
Adam Ficek, quien fuera el baterista de los Babyshambles , explicó (aunque no muy en profundidad) los motivos por los que dejó la banda hace poco más de un mes. En un post en su blog, Ficekblog se refirió al tema como the Babyshambles Meltdown , y nos dejó estas lineas: ¿Por donde empezar? Ha sido un tiempo oscuro, miserable y decepcionante para la banda. Lo que siento es que he perdido algo intrinseco en mi. Es muy dificil entrar en los detalles de esta situación. Lo [...]
