the books of albion by peter doherty

'The prose is strikingly raw... the cumulative effect is curiously touching.' OBSERVER

'This book is like everything else Pete Doherty has ever done - at times brilliant, at others annoying, but never less than interesting.' SOUTHERN DAILY ECHO

'These diary entries, childhood reminiscenes and prose from 1999 onwards prove that under the drug hoover's brow there's a unique brain.' Q MAGAZINE

'witty and sensitive' SUNDAY TRIBUNE

'there are moments of joy, humourand, of course, real darkness' IRISH EXAMINER

'At times a curiously affecting work, it chronicles Doherty's transitionfrom aspiring poet and flowering teenage talent to a man increasingly fighting to shine through a chemicaly induced haze... Doherty can write beautifully' -- Steve Cummins IRISH DAILY MAIL ON SUNDAY

1939 Returning

wow, this is just beautiful.

Pete sounds on top of his game.

supposedly Graham Coxon plays on this album.

This is boring the piss out of me. Goddamn I'm disappointed. He can die now.

Just finished it. While it gets a little better, I'm still considerably disappointed relative to his Babyshambles albums.

Yeah, sounds like the drugs didn't need him, but he needed the drugs.

e-stone · **Posted:** Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:39 pm

a little sleepy, but i'll give it a few more listens before i declare it a disappointment. glad to see some older tunes (arcady, a little death around the eyes and new love grows on trees) get the studio treatment here.

i dunno, i am kinda enjoying how laid back it is.

Kingfish · **Posted:** Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:27 pm

Anybody want to pitch in with me, and send ole Pete a care package full of heroin?

I don't think he needs more opiates. He's needs a Belushi special.

dammit, already deleted due to the dreaded TOS violation

how similar is this to the libertines sound?

It sounds like the Babyshambles on horse tranquilizers.

I never jumped on the Lib/Shambles wagon, but I'm gonna let this one sit for while. It was nothing I expected and I kind of like the first listen.

More Pete news, for Dalen in particular, who will lose his mind over this description.

Babyshambles Influenced by Stone Roses On New Album

It appears Pete Doherty appears to have his shit together. More often than not, a face you'd only see in the press for drug convictions and erratic behaviour on and off stage, the former Libertines co-front-man is currently on a roll. Having just released his debut solo album under the mature handle of Peter Doherty, he's now already back to work with his band, Babyshambles, on a new album. Now, another Babyshambles release might not be much to get excited about, we know, but according to The Daily Star, Doherty and his crew are looking to Madchester for their inspiration.

Speaking to the UK tabloid, drummer Adam Ficek said, "The songs we have done so far are pretty groove-based, like early Stone Roses. It's less straightforward rock'n'roll and punk. It's a bit more beat-driven. Some of the stuff coming out was sounding like 'Fools Gold,' which is pretty amazing."

Ficek added that as per usual, the recording process for the follow-up to 2007's Shotter's Nation is another ramshackle experience. "As normal, we won't spend long making it. It's all thrown together in scraps whenever we get a chance."

I think this is an overall better album than either Babyshambles rekkids.

I've been coming back to it a lot lately. It's kind of all over the place but, for me, I think it's overall a great, chill record. Having Coxon on board didn't hurt I don't think.

All the stylistic shifts keep it more interesting IMO.

When we have the distinct pleasure of ranking our best albums of the decade later this year, and reasonably chatting about the results, I think Down in Albion will probably hit my Top 20.

wow, this could be fucking incredible. it's no secret that Pete has a taste for Manchester baggy stuff.
