Enjoy Daily Badger journo Alec Luhn's part II of three-part interview with pasty-faced, Kate Moss-banger Pete Doherty of the Babyshambles.
If you think you need to read Part I to enjoy this piece, I say this. Do you need to see Evil Dead to enjoy Evil Dead II?
Think about it...
A possible comparison is the Italian artist Piero Manzoni, who took a shit in a can (in fact he took 90 shits in 90 cans for his 1961 “merda d’artista” series) and called it art. One of his shit-tins was eventually bought by the Tate in 2002 for $61,000. When listening to the loose, barely-finished songs on Babyshambles’ debut, which can sound like a band of tweens trying to play a pop hit they once heard on the radio, it’s easy to wonder if Doherty didn’t essentially take a shit in a can in a recording studio. But this, of course, is part of the appeal: Depending on your perspective, Doherty’s shit-in-a-can may be great art.
