I hate wembley arena but at least it's not the o2

#placebo #wifey is determined she will actually make this gig

Told my mother I'm at SLF

“Pete Doherty of Babyshambles performing before he and the band wrecked the stage at the Transmission with T Mobile concert, recorded for Channel 4, at the Riverside Studios in London” 📸: Ian West

I have been pseudonymously quoted making a funny in someone's doctoral research on the experiences of trans people accessing fertility treatment.

#I sent it to my mate and he was like did they give you a pseudonym #I said well my name's not Riley so yeah they did #and he goes look ten years ago you weren't a they/them either I just thought I should check #best man at my wedding he was “uhh what's your name again”#witnessed and signed my deed poll when I actually legally changed my name he did #personal

Comfortably the most 2007 thing I have seen in some time: Lethal Bizzle and his backing band of pointy-shoed, skinny-jeaned indie boys in the Police On My Back video

#randomly returning to tumblr just to post this because it's too good not to share #lethal Bizzle #babyshambles #the rakes #drew looks great in this #idle lovers

hyper-angelic

Babyshambles moments I want to record for posterity, in case they don't pass this way again:

Bill Bailey(???) introducing the band with what they have in common: "somehow we're both still alive" (poor Pat)

Peter waving his vape around during the "piping almost every night" line in I Wish

Drew calling everyone cunts at every opportunity

Anecdote about smoking crack in a phone box with Suggs' brother ("he had good fucking crack" "that's not crack, that's freebase" "well sooooorry")

Many references to Mick Whitnall's Reign of Terror over Camden

Surprise Carlos appearance, and that smug little smile he does when he shows up at one of Peter's non-libs shows and gets a massive cheer

(In light of Carl being there, Peter actually doing the "on the off-chance that you're listening to the radio" line in Killamangiro hurts my heart a bit)

Gemma Clarke coming on at the end for Wolfman and beating the drums like they owed her money

The band smashing up the stage then Peter trying to say his goodbyes into a stand that no longer held a mic

Drew only making it halfway over the barrier stage-diving, then eventually getting back to stage with a bloody nose

Peter coming down off stage to greet his adoring public at the end. He gave me a drumstick that had snapped into a really fucking sharp shiv. You can take the boy out of D Wing...

#and a very personal reflection: I found drew strangely sexy on this occasion #which I think was down to his really nice green Adidas trackies #babyshambles #peter doherty
