it seems that those loveable rogues the KLF are claiming to have invented pete doherty. i mean, i can take a joke but if this is true i'm going to kick drummond and cauty right up the mu mu.
"We were upset at the apparent failure of our grand project, and also at the monster we had created in Pete Doherty. Our third theorem - that 'If enough people say that a piece of bullshit is a bar of gold, we'll believe it's a bar of gold' - seemed to have been beyond salvation. Fortunately, at that point Pete released the first Babyshambles album."
John, I have to admit, I have the first Libertines record and I like how it sounds quite a bit. That said, thanks a lot for this. It's pretty great, and nice to see the KLF up to something. Over christmas at some record shop I took my youngest brother to I found a single they did with Tammy Wynette. He was kind of underwhelmed by it, I think, but that's because he doesn't get the fact that time is eternal. If I could track down Doctorin' The Tardis then maybe I could explain it to him. take care, Nate

That'd be totally justified!
I loved this bit:

That's okay to own up to here, Nate, you're amongst friends!
if you want, nate, i can send you a copy of 1987: what the fuck is going on? by the justified ancients of mu mu. it is quite something.

i like that libertines album too, by the way, but doherty has turned into a one man soap opera over here and i've just about had enough of it.
they're not as good as the arctic monkeys, anyway.
"they're not as good as the arctic monkeys, anyway."
Who are an invention of Iceland, I believe.
