Babyshambles: classic or dud?

"You'll have to excuse my voice. My throat is a bit hoarse from the weekend. I've had one of those hectic weekends. I went to see Babyshambles on Friday night, then U2 on Sunday night."

Guess which credible music personality said this? Was it Paul 'Phones' Epworth? DJ Erol Alkan? Him out of Bloc Party? Mick Jones from The Clash? One of the ladies from Ladytron?

No, it was...

The band has an audience of idiots.

hearing this i actually started to think he was a genius

sorry could you explain this in words that make sense?

DOHERTY, GET OFF THE PIPE OR GET OFF THE STAGE!

Kate Moss was today accused of indulging in a massive cocaine session - two years after she said she had given up drugs for good. The supermodel, mother of a two year old girl, is pictured in the Daily Mirror apparently chopping out line after line of the class A drug.

The undercover pictures were taken at a west London studio where her boyfriend Pete Doherty is recording the new Babyshambles album.

They appear to show Moss - said by the newspaper to have kept her "mammoth stash" in her handbag - cutting fat lines of cocaine on the back of a CD cover and sharing them with Doherty and his entourage.

Ex-Clash guitarist Mick Jones, producing the record, is also seen snorting cocaine from the stash. Moss has admitted in general terms to past drugs problems but has never admitted taking cocaine.

"Fuck Forever" is the best single of the last 5 years, fo' sho'.

You should post more.

are you, like, being sarcastic, dude?

new album produced by stephen street this year...

Classic. Down In Albion is about 10 times better now than it was 2005. Some good songs on the new album.

I'm a little more than halfway through my first listen of the new album, 'Shotter's Nation', right this second. This is sooo good! Which, is just such a surprise to me. I really thought that Pete was probably too far gone now to ever write any good songs again (without Carl I mean, at least). This is all really concise, focused, and catchy! I was a little scared to listen to this. I thought it might turn out to be just another depressing mess, like 'Albion'. Such a pleasant surprise though, this. This is what 'Albion' needed to be.

This is the thing..

He's such a waste of time, I'm loathe to give him money for anything.

I got the first album off a nice link, quite liked it.

Single free off NME, not played. The track I hear on the radio, yep quite alright.

I'm still waiting for him to start

This thread is a good way to write the list of prissy Anglophile yanks who are gonna be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Poll!

Michael Caine.

Does anyone know is this is going to get a simultaneous American release? Or are we going to have to wait eons again to get it over here?

Nevermind, found it. Out October 23rd on Astralwerks stateside.

I just heard 'Fuck Forever' again recently, and I suddenly realized that I have to idea what that's supposed to mean. Is it the same as "(I'm) fucked forever"? Or is it talking about having sexual intercourse for eternity? Is this a British phrase I'm unfamiliar with?

blimey guvnah, stone the crows and fuck forever, he's 'alf inched me jam tart.

I'll choose to answer that as a serious question, and would posit that Mr Doherty is recommending that one live for today, and never mind the long-term consequences. A strategy that will work out well for him, I'm sure.

I quite like the tune, actually, but the vocals on it are the worst of any track I can think of.

No, it isn't.

Considering the existencialist nature of Doherty I think it refers to 'fuck forever' as in fuck happily forever ever after.

that makes sense; it's not an interpretation I had thought of. thanks!
