Skag and Bone Men

It seems that the good ship Albion is floundering on its journey to Arcadia. Peter Doherty missed the Lib’s European tour earlier this year becaue of (alleged) health issues and since his departure events on the good ship Albion have taken a turn for the worse - culminating with Peter’s arrest for alleged burglary on 25th July. Now it seems he may have been arrested for breaking into band mate Carl Barat’s flat.

No one seems to be sure exactly what is going on in the the land of the Libertines, but it’s looking forever more likely that the split will be permanent. Make what you will of Peter’s recent posting on babyshambles.com:

“The only question is.. is London big enough for two bands called the Libertines and has it really come to that?”

On a side note, for any Libertines fans I recommend you download and listen to the Babyshambles Sessions. I believe these sessions were recorded in NY after the Lib’s recent American tour. They feature mainly Peter, but Carlos is on some the songs.
