nette artikel... vielen dank.

die presse leute haben denke ich eher angst dem sensiblen pete das herz zu brechen..dann gehen sie zu dme älteren herren barât und fragen eben ihn - sehr falsch. carl ist zwar meisten gefasst, aber nur fassade. das merkt man dann sehr schnell.

das glaube ich nicht, ist denen doch scheißegal. Pete ist nur berühmter (auf der Klatschbalttebene) deshalb wird Carl nach Pete gefragt und Pete nicht nach Carl. Glaube ich zumindest. Und wie du geagt hat, ist das für Carl genauso schlimm wie für Pete. Aber na ja, ist ja jetzt ne Weile her und alle sind glücklich und zufrieden (na ja mehr oder weniger)

ich hab vorgestern einen Libs Artikel gelesen den ich nicht mehr finde, es ging um Pete und seine Entzugsversuche und Carl hat gesagt, dass er weiß, dass rehab schwer ist und dass man es manchmal ein paar mal versuchen muss. Ich such das jetzt seit einer halben stunde und find es einfach nicht. Langsam glaube ich, ich hab mir das eingebildet also falls jemand den link hat, könnt ihr ihn vielleicht posten?

ich bin den kompletten Internetverlauf der letzten Tage durch und es war nicht da. Ich bilde mir Interviews ein. Das ist nicht gut

Will you be sending out any Christmas cards this year?

PD: (grinning) Erm, I haven’t really had time to think about Christmas preparation. I’d send one to the band – all the bands – if they’re well behaved enough. Oh, and Selfish Cunt. Just because he deserves one. Have you got any kids? I’ve got my little boy a present, actually.

What did you get him?

PD: Well, if I told you I’d spoil the surprise, wouldn’t I? No, it’s a sort of sailor teddy that I bought last week. He’s nice and chubby with a rubber ring around his belly.

What’s the best Christmas present you’ve ever been given?

PD: Right. I’ll tell you a story. Ok. A true story. I fell in love on Christmas eve. Once. When I was about 18. In fact, it was to that Italian lass who got mixed up for suing us for lyrics and whatever. I think someone told her friend I liked her, and then we kissed in her flat on Christmas eve. At that moment I feel completely in love.

What’s the worst present you’ve ever been given?

PD: A cold.

What’s been the defining moment of this year?

PD: I guess this is kind of it. Right here, recording with Babyshambles and working on a bunch of new songs. The new stuff is all very melodic, I guess, a little quieter than Killamangiro and The Man Who Came To Stay. Writing with Pat is a whole new experience. Although there was that fucking awful CDUK performance that put the dampeners on the sound of popping corks.

Do you think you’ll see Carl this Christmas?

PD: Well, someone told me him and his girl have requested guestlist passes for some of the dates we’re playing in December…although I think he’s been busy in Japan doing Libertines stuff. So who knows. I hope so.

Who would you invite to your fantasy Christmas party?

PD: Christmas makes me a little bit sad, to be honest. Friendly faces with kind winks and warm hearts. Family and friends. Isn’t that what Christmas is supposed to be about?

What was your favourite track of the year?

PD: ‘A Fool There Was’ by our Babyshambles. It reminds me of going camping down in Devon recently with the manager, James. We weren’t really camping, we had a van and everything. Operation clean up. Operation not-quite impossible!

Was it mission accomplished?

PD: Well, let’s just ay this Christmas isn’t going to be white. Or brown.

What was your favourite album of the year?

PD: Room on Fire by the Strokes.

That was out last year…

PD: Well, whenever it was, I heard it a lot this year. When I was in Thailand in the land of monks and bad medicine, there was this Swedish guy in the room next to me. He wouldn’t stop playing it.

Favourite gig of the year?

PD: Babyshambles in Hull. Or any other gig the Paddingtons supported. We love the Pads, we do.

Babyshambles and the Libertines scored the most NME covers this year. Which one was your favourite?

PD: The one with Biggles and Mozzer was…well, not my favourite, I guess. But it made me proud of Carlos in a weird way and also really sad. Proud because it was always me that railed on about how good the Smiths were when Carl and I first started out, and there he was with his fucking arms around the chap. It’ s like he finally saw sense! While also I have that biting feeling in the pit of my stomach that…erm…it should have been me.

Have you ever met Morrissey?

PD: Yeah, but when I went to shake his hand, he sort of did a rude boy shuffle. Apparently he said the Libertines are better off without me. How does that feel? Horrid. Next time I see him I’ll boob him one on his hooter. (smiles) And you can write that down.

What are your plans for New Year’s Eve?

Well, we’re doing these four dates. Travelling across the country on a fun bus, yeah. I think we’re doing Birmingham, Stoke, Oldham and Manchester. Although I would like to end up in London by the end of the night, or the morning. Someone suggested we get a helicopter; maybe Rough Trade would like to pay for it.

NME: How’s the tour going?

PD: It’s a nice atmosphere. Lots of Arcadian wenches strewn about the place and all manner of rock’n’roll urchins. We met a pair of psychedelic twins that write poetry and live in a fridge. The bus driver’s a devil worshipper. There’s Dot Allison – me and Dot are doing an album together. And Andrew. We’re like medieval strolling players, really. Just turning up and entertaining the people of the town.

NME: Is Babyshambles a way of getting through some of the things you’ve been through, recently?

PD: After everything that’s happened, there’s a part of me that’s got no choice but to completely cut myself off emotionally to stop myself being affected by it, ‘cos otherwise I know I’d be at the bottom of a canal, such is the fucking hurt and bereavement that I’m feeling. But I’ve got a choice, just like anything. I can sit and mope or go begging and say “I’m not smoking crack anymore and I’m completely in control and playing better than I have and writing better than I have” but I ain’t going crawling back (to the Libertines)

NME: There are a lot of rumours that The Libertines won’t carry on for much longer without you

PD: I’m not really sure what’s happening with The Libertines. But really, I’d say good luck to them. (Whispers) All the best.

NME: What do you have in common with the rest of Babyshambles?

PD: Me and Pat have both spent time in prison and both had our darker days, both had raging crack and heroin habits. But now we’re helping each other. So there’s solidarity there.

NME: You’re suggesting that you didn’t have those drugs in common with the other Libertines, then?

PD: I don’t want to talk about the Libertines’ drug habits, but I wasn’t particularly on such different drugs to the rest. We were on a lot of different drugs over the years and when they were doing certain drugs I wasn’t, but I believed in them and I knew they’d get through it. I took them everywhere to score. It was all-embracing really. But in the end I just got better conversations out of the needle than I did from Carl.

NME: How do you think that your new bandmates feel about your history?

PD: There’s a very deep bond between me and Patrick. There’s trust and love and friendship but there’s also a tension. You can imagine some of the paranoias and things he’s got, but I do see similarities to my relationship with Carl. Patrick’s a bit younger and a bit taller but he’s got that fucking hunger that Carl used to have. There’s a great talent there, but there isn’t an arrogance. There’s a lack of self-belief in a way.

NME: With the Libertines it always seemed like you and Carl were competing. Who’s in charge in Babyshambles?

PD: It’s a benign dictatorship. I crack the whip now and again. Some people would call it having a mardy. I call it getting respect. But everyone gets a little blue sometimes. (Softly) Blue Peter

NME: Do you feel like you’ve got a point to prove with this new band? Or any scores to settle?

PD: (Immediately) No, there’s no scores to settle. A nuclear bomb was dropped. You can’t fight with people who pull hair and bite. Unless you get your hair cut and go out across no-man’s land. Raise the old battalion. (Whispers ‘Hanging on the old barbed wire’

NME: You’ve been playing the Smiths’ ‘Rubber Ring’ live recently, and did a bit of ‘The Boy With The Thorn In His Side’ in soundcheck…

PD: My friend Jai gave me a tape with a Smiths song when I was fifteen. ‘I Started Something I Couldn’t Finish’ it was. And that was it. It was like Through The Looking Glass. It just touched me.

NME: So how did you feel when you saw Carl and Morrissey on the cover of NME with their arms around each other?

PD: I don’t want to talk about that. I can’t deal with that. I can’t get my head round it. (Pete bursts into tears) That was just…shocking
