Pete was still playing solo gigs, advertising them on his website a day or two before they took place. He’d already recorded ‘For Lovers’ and was desperate to record the B-side; it was a beautiful song and he was convinced it would be a hit. He’d also finished recording the debut Babyshambles single. But Pete and Carl still wanted to write together. They needed to collaborate and bond after the debacle of their trip to the Welsh valleys, and they had a second Libertines album to write. So they decided to head to Paris.

  • THE SHOWRUNNER Frankie Thomas
    ATLENGTHMAG.COM 1 THE SHOWRUNNER Frankie Thomas Roger hates open casting calls, but the network is being a pain in the ass about casting “real kids” in the Life According to Liberty pilot. “Viewers should look at these kids and see themselves,” says the first in an increas- ingly inane series of memos. “Avoid overly polished child-star types.” They use the words “fresh,” “natural,” “organic,” and “raw” so often, you’d think they really just want to open a restaurant in Silverlake. Roger hates a lot of things—rush hour traffic, the 405 any time of day, people who mispronounce “Hermès,” the smoking ban in restaurants, most of America east of the Harbor Freeway—but he especially resents wast- ing a workday on an open call, because, for the most part, he doesn’t hate his job. He does it damn well, too: if you have kids, they’ve probably clocked half their lives watching his shows. Superpants? That was him. Second String, Friendship Heights, Passing for Paranormal—all Roger Knox productions. It’s thanks to your kids that Roger owns a penthouse in the Hills, drives a black Maserati, wears a different suit every day (Armani, Zegna, Tom Ford, YSL, maybe breaking out the Hugo Boss when he doesn’t mind looking like a slob), and gets his shoes shined once a week even though he doesn’t walk enough to scuff them. He’s been here long enough that he no longer feels like he’s evading when people ask him where he’s from and he answers, “Hollywood.” At the casting call, though, Roger is forced to interact with people who aren’t from Hollywood, people who even smell like the real world—babies, church basements, cafeterias, grocery-store shampoos.

  • Be a Junkie. Be a Thief. but Must You Date Kate Moss?
    February 20, 2005 Be a Junkie. Be a Thief. But Must You Date Kate Moss? Yui Mok/European Pressphoto Agency Chaos before the storm: the singer and guitarist Pete Doherty performing with his band Babyshambles in London in January. By DOMINIC PATTEN VEN by the standards of the great rock-'n'-roll train wrecks, these have been rough times for Pete Doherty. Sure, the 25-year-old frontman of the band Babyshambles has had tremendous musical success. And sure, he has enjoyed the company - in parties and gossip columns - of the glamorous Kate Moss. But that was before he was arrested on Feb. 2 on charges of robbery and blackmail. After that he spent five very unglamorous days in the Pentonville Prison in London, suffering from a painful heroin withdrawal and wondering whether anyone could raise £150,000 (about $280,230) for his bail. No one could claim to be entirely surprised by his fall. After gaining some attention in his teens as a poet, Mr. Doherty formed the Libertines with Carl Barat. With their street-urchin image and dark thrashy tunes of urban squalor, the band was described as "Britpop meets Baudelaire," and the two songwriters were compared to Morrissey and Johnny Marr of the Smiths. Their first album, "Up the Bracket," debuted in the British Top 20 in late 2002, and soon went platinum. But in addition to his musical talent, Mr. Doherty demonstrated an effortless knack for getting himself in trouble. In June 2003 he entered the first of many stints in rehab, only to walk away days later.

  • The Libertines in Arrivo Con Un Nuovo Disco E Tour
    The Libertines in arrivo con un nuovo disco e tour I The Libertines, band culto degli anni 2000, formata dal celeberrimo Pete Doherty ed il poliedrico Carl Barat, dopo aver finalmente annunciato il loro ritorno sulle scene, consacrato da un gremitissimo concerto ad Hyde Park con più di 65.000 presenze lo scorso luglio, sono pronti ad arrivare anche in Italia per una unica, imperdibile, data evento. Nel corso degli ultimi 15 anni si è costantemente sentito parlare della band di east London, sia per la perfezione musicale e stilistica dei suoi due album, Up The Bracket e The Libertines, sia per il life style totalmente punk dei suoi componenti. Icone di stile, poeti maledetti, protagonisti dei tabloid, i The Libertines sono riusciti a rimanere, nel bene o nel male, sulla bocca di tutti. L’estate scorsa, dopo il leggendario live ad Hyde Park, è finalmente arrivata la notizia che il gruppo si sarebbe riunito per registrare il terzo, attesissimo, album da presentare poi in giro per il mondo con un tour nelle più grandi arene. Alex Turner degli Arctic Monkeys ha dichiarato: «Questa è una delle più belle notizie, siamo cresciuti conUp The Bracket nelle orecchie. Vederli di nuovo sul palco sarebbe stupendo». Lo stesso Pete Doherty ha affermato in una recente intervista al The Independent: «I Boys In The Band (titolo di uno dei loro pezzi più famosi, ndr) sono di nuovo insieme e siamo pronti a portare sul palco tutta la nostra energia!». NME Magazine ha messo il loro terzo disco, non ancora scritto, tra i “50 album da ascoltare assolutamente durante il 2015”.

Any opinions or claims contained in this Working Paper do not necessarily reflect the views of HSE. Alexandra Kolesnik1 POPULAR CULTURE AND HISTORY: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PAST IN BRITISH POPULAR MUSIC OF THE 2000S2 This paper investigates the basic mechanisms of representation of the past in British popular music in the early 2000s. Changes in the music industry associated with the emerging and wide dissemination of new media has affected the search for new musical decisions, reformatting attitudes to the past in general, and to the musical past in particular. In this regard, questions of historical representations in popular music and their relationship with cultural heritage are closely interrelated. This paper analyses the mechanisms and formats of ‘working’ with the past in British popular music of the 2000s using examples from the London rock band, the Libertines. The author draws conclusions about structure of historical representations in popular music and their typology. The use of popular music studies approach is suggested to analyze mechanisms of representation of the past and broaden the concept of popular music.
