Singer-songwriter Tim Arnold is releasing an album of Pete Doherty covers in a bid to convince his cynical friends that the Babyshambler is a high calibre songwriter. Yeah, good luck with that Tim. Ah, that's unfair, Doherty has his moments. Normally when writing with Carl Barat, but moments nonetheless.
Talking of Doherty and Barat, rumour has it the duo are planning to reunite again at Glastonbury this weekend. Both will be on site with their respective bands, and word has it they are hoping to get a slot in the acoustic tent to perform together, following Barat's appearance at one of those Hackney shows Doherty did recently. The rumours come from the Mirror who quote an insider thus: "The lads have been talking about it for months. Although they've got their own bands now, neither has had anything like the acclaim The Libertines had. Pete and Carl are still arguing about what they're going to perform - but whatever they settle on it will be incredible". Could be good, it has to be said.
