Petewatch 2005



The management would like to expess its deep concern for the health and sanity of head Babyshamble Pete Doherty. First that space-twat Kate Moss dumps him via text message and now he's busted for burglary and blackmail after allegedly attacking a documentary filmmaker. Luckily, the poor lad's out on bail. **UPDATE: Pete will spend the weekend in jail after failing to cough up his bail money in time!! Can't someone save the daft bastard??

Thanks to everyone who braved the rain for Low-Life last night. I tried to play a lot of Libertines in order to create positive vibes for our buddy Pete (and my stepfather Pete, who was taken to the hospital yesterday with a potentially serious mystery illness). Unfortunately, my DJ abilities were at an all-time low. Same with my mood. I only managed to play one Libertines track. Pathetic.

The management feels compelled to comment on yesterday's major New York blogtroversy. The backlash from this article has been severe and endlessly amusing. In my humble opinion, you should all be ashamed of yourselves. If you didn't know that New York hipsters/blogeratti were manipulating you via their coolness/contacts/mind-control abilities, then you are a fucking moron. You deserve to be fleeced and your indignation is pathetic. That is all.

Also, here are several cool new things that you are now going to purchase because you read right here that they are cool: Bloc Party, Orbit chewing gum, the Volkswagon Jetta, Puma athletic shoes, LCD Soundsystem, this new iPod contraption everyone is talking about, Rolling Rock beer, VICE magazine, and the letter "U." Every cute female DJ who hangs out with Carlos D is totally into the aforementioned quality products.

This message was in no way brought to you by the companies that manufacture these products or any marketing firm retained by said entities. Really. I swear.
