Garcia Lorca
Anger can be power
grimble said:Sorry to keep this hideous trainwreck of a thread going, but back to the OP, I did go to Get Loaded - and Babyshambles were actually very good - not least because PD was sober and coherant. I went with a mate who previously had nothing but contempt for the man, but who came away planning to buy the Libertines albums. Agree with bits of the Guardian review - his solo stuff can sometimes lack a bit of magic and he needs to self-edit his weaker stuff (the solo album is v. mediocre). But the track Albion I think is fantastic - and will be looked at as a classic in years to come.
Anyway - elsewhere at Get Loaded I saw:
The Chalets 8/10 (Irish synths, guitars, 50s style girl singers)
The Pippettes 6/10 (Chalets had a similar look but were much better)
Graham Coxon 6/10 (stuck in a rut)
Buzzcocks 5/10 (dull)
Lilly Allen 7/10 (very slick, only saw last 2 songs though)
Bez 0/10 (turned up late, shouted "Call the Cops" along to HM records playing in the background)
Goldie 7/10 (bit out of place though)
yeehaa,
only had to get to page 4 before you got a little bit of the original question answered.
If he is that much of a waste of space etc that some consider him, why waste your time spouting it openly on a forum when someone is looking for info about one of their gigs? I mean there must be lots of other bands mentioned in titles on this forum, but "I" like most of you, do not feel the urge to jump into the thread and say so.
However when it comes to a pete doherty thread all of a sudden its hijacked by the usual boring comments that come in all the time. Why? Cause your on the its cool to slag doherty bandwagon!!!!!! Betcha if ya where coppers you would be waiting to bust him, giving it the ole high five with your partner.
No doubt about it, Im not suggesting that the people here dont like his music, but theres lots of other artists you must not like but yet you feel the need to waste your time putting your feelings public about doherty.... at every opportunity.
get off the band wagon!


which was demolished on said thread
