Pete did a drawing for a book called "Bands on the Road: The Tour Sketchbook," and his illustration was online on the Guardian's website. I can't decipher some of what he's written, but perhaps you can!



Pete Doherty, Moscow: 'When I was on the dole, I was quite a poet. Some people got some money from the Arts Council and sent some unemployed kids and artists to Moscow ... it was great. I was in a Russian ecstasy.'

Greetings, vintage lovers!  I have listed the most recent addition to my private collection on Ebay due to a sizing discrepancy.  (I am utterly heartbroken; you should SEE this dress.  Whoever wins the bid will be a very lucky individual!)  I've listed this beautiful cocktail dress with a low  bid and no reserve so it can find a home before the coming holiday party season.

Enjoy and happy bidding!

The Diesel xXx party is happening in London tonight and there's going to be a live stream starting from 9pm GMT. The line-up is in the style of a relay with each artist doing a song with one artist, then another, and that artist then plays with another and so on(hope that makes sense!)

Line-up:
11:20 pm Florence & Pete Doherty
11:25 pm Pete Doherty & The View
11:30 pm The View & Drew McConnell
11:35 pm Drew McConnell & Lethal Bizzle

Plus loads of other great acts.

Could anyone maybe record this stream (preferably the whole thing)?

EDIT: Errr, so Peter didn't turn up.
Drew did though. He played played bass on a cover Kelly Clarkson's 'Since you been gone' with Mark Ronson on guitar. Then a cover of Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy', with The View which was great apart from Kyle's screechy vocals. Then Drew said he hoped Peter would be here by now so they could a song with him, so he asked the crowd if they should carry on or 'fuck off''. Of course they didn't tell him to fuck off and they played an okay version of 'Fuck Forever'. Finally, Drew played with Lethal Bizzle on 'Police on my back', which was ace.

Phew.

We forgot our camera, so I didn't get to take pictures of sketches. Here's one I did that somebody scanned. Thanks, somebody!
