Whitechapel.


That would be my choice of residence as well. Such a wonderful & weird area! ^_^
 
French Dog Blues & There She Goes have now leaked! I can upload them if its not against the rules of the forum. (I know I already have with Lost art of murder but just to make sure...)
 
oh, by the way, i posted some pics of a babyshambles gig i attended a few weeks ago on the libertines thread. perhaps i should post them here? and i have some more, too...
 
New version of the sleeve:

Why add the lady? It looked fine without it imo. Now it just looks out of place. Also... Is it Kate?

Also three more songs have leaked! Unbilotitled, Unstookietitled, & Deft Left Hand.

jealous_hearts: Thank you so much! I have heard acoustic versions of most of them, but it's great to hear the songs produced and finished. I love The Lost Art of Murder (as mentioned a couple of times :P) & also Unstookietitled has been a favourite since the bumfest demos.

This album seems to be a bit quieter than Down in Albion though, I might be wrong of course, but there is certainly no 8 Dead Boys or f*ck Forever on this album yet. I don't mind it though; Pete is perhaps even better when he does his little ballads. :blush: Anyway, thanks! I wish I could do something nice for this thread as well!
 
And oh my God, it is so nice to talk about his music again for once! ^_^

Thank you guys!

I was wondering the name of the girl who's used to do the sleeve artwork, does anyone know? I guess she has a space but dunno...

I like this sleeve with Chatterton because Pete just embodies the accursed poet. Once when I studied at uni I was fond of romantic literature and I especially loved Alfred de Vigny. It is often forgotten that Pete has a crave for literature and is able to speak of books for hours besides have a look at his influences : http://www.libertines.twinkling-star.com/
 
These songs are really great, best of his work with Babyshambles (so far) ^_^

And there is also an interview in this months Q magazine, I could post, íf anyone wants it?
