Some post-Libertines news

In my estimation it’s been waaay, waaay too long since I’ve posted a good Pete and Carl story. I can’t not post about the latest news about our favorite wayward Libertine partners.

First of all, Carl is in the hospital with what they are calling acute pancreatitis.  He’ll be in for awhile for observation.  Hope it doesn’t turn out to be as serious as it sounds!

Meanwhile Pete treated fans to an unbelievable setlist in London the other night.  He came on around 10:30 and played till after 3 AM.  Playing a bit of everything (including covers), I can only imagine the crowd reaction. 

What a sing-a-long!   NME has the details including the setlist and a YouTube video.  Their description is fabulous including how Pete brought up a fan onstage & ribbed him a bit.  If anyone has found more youtube vids from this gig…post ’em!

Pete’s back at it

No, no…not the drugs (well, we don’t know for sure); it’s music!  He’s only been released from jail a day and boom – we have a new YouTube vid for a track called ‘Maybelline’.

Funny, I just had been to the bookstore last night & bought Alex Hannaford’s book, Pete Doherty: Last of the Rock Romantics.  Browsing through it I noticed quite a bit mentioned about Carl so that made the purchase more appealing.  There was something so magical about those two together.

Pete has a knack for keeping his fans in the loop.  He has a unique way of staying in touch and he seems so aloof about the tabs that whatever gets written about him is almost an afterthought.  Plus it will all change in a day’s time!
