Oh, talking of Doherty, which we were just a minute ago, hundreds of tracks apparently stored on the former Libertine's computer in 2004 have leaked onto the internet via various Libertines/Babyshambles/Doherty fansites and message boards. The collection of tracks includes several of the artists Pete was listening to at that time, but more importantly there's a stack of rare and previously unheard Libertines and Babyshambles tracks too.
Among the tracks the NME say are now available are the pre 'Up The Braket' 'Nomis' demoes, a version of 'The Delaney' recorded for but not included on second album 'The Libertines', and the track 'Never Never', which sampled the 'Hancock's Half Hour' TV show. Among the Babyshambles tracks included is the so called 'Diamond Liner Sessions', which include Babyshambles playing 'Kilamangiro', 'Black Boy Lane' and 'Do You Know Me?'.
Quite how the tracks got from Pete's computer onto to the net isn't completely clear. If anyone has any insights, let us know.
