Doherty Continues His Shenanigans; Misses Court
Sweet Jesus what is going on! In the dirty laundry life of Babyshambles front
man Pete Doherty, it’s never a dull or surprising moment these days. Scheduled
to meet before a judge on the progress of his community service stint, the same
that kept him out of prison on seven drug counts, Doherty instead was in Paris
touring to help promote the bands new album Down In Albion. The court
date has been rescheduled but again, that ticking sound is ever so more
poignant.
Trouble loves company? Babyshambles gifted guitarist Patrick Walden is also
getting out of jail today on assault charges.

added to the already stellar lineup including Feist, Atmosphere, Mates of State,

a film festival headed by Seattle International Film Festival, author readings,

Spoon In Studio; Re-releases Old Stuff
Office favorite Spoon has entered the studio abyss to record the
as of yet untitled new effort. The band tentatively plans of
wrapping up recordings by the end of the summer. In the mantra
of all bands entering the foray, Billboard.com is reporting the
band as saying they “[we] want to do something we haven’t done
before.” To back up the talk, Spoon is looking into bringing in
instruments and sounds new to the perfected sound of last years
killer Gimme Fiction. Mike McCarthy will helm the
production role once again for the group who’s overseen all
previous albums.
Frontman Britt Daniel is also reportedly
kicking around the idea of a solo album to begin works shortly
after the band closes shop this summer.
As if this isn’t enough Spoonage, the band
is planning to rerelease their previously out of print albums
Soft Effects and Telephono as a single release with
original album art. |
