new babyshambles!!!!!!!!!!!

In exactly a week, Babyshambles will be releasing (in the U.K.) their brand new EP entitled The Blinding. This is quite exciting for me since I am trilled by anything Pete Doherty. As a result, I won’t even review this EP as it would be extremely biased and I would most likely have nothing negative to say... in fact, it’d probably end up being another rant on how Pete Doherty is one of the greatest song-writers ever, etc.

I watched my first movie at the new place the other night. It was a great documentary called Who The Hell Is Pete Doherty? I didn’t even know there was a film on P. Doherty... I was very excited when I discovered it at the video story. For those of you who don’t know who Pete Doherty is... WTF?!?!?! He only fronted one of the greatest bands of our generation: The Libertines! In my opinion, The Libertines’ self-titled disc is one of the greatest and most important records released in 2000s. If you are a fan of The Libertines or Babyshambles, I highly recommend this documentary, it is extremely fascinating... plus, you get to see some great live footages! If you are not a fan of Pete Doherty’s work, I don’t know if the film would interest you at all... maybe it will turn you on to The Libertines or Babyshambles... so maybe non-fans should watch it too... do whatever you want, but if you did/do not listen to The Libertines, you are missing some of the great music… and you are a loser!
