The Libertines Reunite Onstage In London, Julian Lennon Sells Stake In Beatles Songs? Hear Vintage Jack White Material

4/13/07, 9:04 am EST

  • Pete Doherty used the second of two solo London shows at Hackney Empire in London to thrill an entire generation of British kids by reuniting with former Libertine bandmate Carl Barat for a resounding 13-song mini set of Libertines songs including “What Katie Did” and “Time For Heroes” and “What A Waster” and “Albion” and … check out the entire set list after the jump. Afterwards they headed backstage with Pete’s fiancé Kate Moss (to whom he dedicated “What Katie Did” the previous night) and performed an impromptu version of “Can’t Stand Me Now.” Could an official reunion be in the works?
  • A rare recording featuring early guitar work by Jack White will be reissued. While white was a staple on the Detroit music scene he played with The Hentchmen on three singles, “Hentch-Forth,” “Some Other Guy,” and “Ham And Oil,” all of which came out in 1998. Hentch-Forth.Five, a collection that includes these tracks is being released sometimes this summer. [via TheModernAge]
  • So it turns out Ben & Jerry’s will be adding another to its lineup of rock themed flavors when it launches Bohemian Raspberry. Queen’s Brian May had these ecstatic comments to make about the honor: “It’s Queentastic! Rhapsolicious! So cool it’s not funny! But only if the next one is ‘We Will Chock You’!” Proceeds from sales of the flavor will benefit the Mercury Phoenix Trust, which fights AIDS worldwide.
  • Julian Lennon has apparently sold a financial stake in his father’s songs to Primary Wave Music Publishing. The deal is said to involve a “significant” share of the catalog and relates, of course, to songwriting income generated by the compositions, not publishing rights which are owned by Sony/ATV.
  • Check out Marilyn Manson’s new single “Heart Shaped Glasses” here. His new album Eat Me, Drink Me comes out June 5th.

“Death On The Stairs”

why didn’t julian sell his share to Paul McCartney, i’m sure he would have bought them.

Josh | 4/13/2007, 10:33 am EST

Please stop writing about Pete Doherty. NME readers might care. We don’t.

the speakers | 4/13/2007, 10:42 am EST

hey, josh. the fact that NME doesn’t incessantly talk about snoop dogg and the killers is why it is a cooler magazine than the rolling stone. any step rolling stone can take to be more like NME would be greatly appreciated.

Aaron D. | 4/13/2007, 10:50 am EST

I agree with Josh. Some drug-addled jackass from an overrated band is not news. It’s not even remotely interesting.

Stripes | 4/13/2007, 10:51 am EST

oh, cool. i would love to hear another jack white redording. so much cool stuff goin on this summer!

across the universe | 4/13/2007, 10:56 am EST

Yeah good point. Fuck Pete Doherty, I really don’t care either.

Steve | 4/13/2007, 11:09 am EST

People talk about “early guitar work of Jack White” like he’s fucking Eric Clapton or something.

Of course, Jack White looks like Jimi Hendrix next to Meg White’s drumming. Good god. Spare us.

notenome | 4/13/2007, 11:17 am EST

I am simply ecstatic about the possibility of a Libertines reunion. Don’t really know what to think right now. Just very, very happy. What an odd power a certain category of people Ive never met hold over me…

Dan | 4/13/2007, 11:35 am EST

Pete Doherty is a true genious! He is one of few real musicians about at the moment.

abandonedstation | 4/13/2007, 11:56 am EST

Pete: Look Carl, I need drug money, you need exposure. It’s win-win, baby!

Brian May sounds sarcastic regarding Ben & Jerry’s new ice cream flavor. I hope he’s sarcastic. No one should be that excited and cheesy about selling out to sell out hippies. With the chairty bit, at least baby bommers can now say, ‘I’m getting fat and fighting AIDS at the same time!’

Sorry, I will always think of Blondie when I hear the title of Manson’s new single, no matter how good it is.

surley | 4/13/2007, 12:48 pm EST

hey Dan, it’s spelled genius. you can’t declare somebody one if you can’t spell it.

emily | 4/13/2007, 12:51 pm EST

I’ll bet it was always Freddies dream to make a hit ice cream flavor

Dino | 4/13/2007, 12:54 pm EST

I hope the reunion was just the start. THe Libertines are one of the only bands of my lifetime that actually matter, thank god there are still people like pete and carl that actually write good music and don’t just try to rewrite the same song over and over , if you don;t like them its all good at least respect the fact that they are original and not one of the clone bands that populate the radio waves.

Christov | 4/13/2007, 1:01 pm EST

Pete Doherty? Really? That drugged out as*hole? People writing articles about these no talent losers is the reason people like Paris Hilton are famous. If you stop writing about them then they will just go away! Please god let them GO AWAY!

Dino | 4/13/2007, 1:07 pm EST

Dude r you serious Paris Hilton is a no talent hack, Pete while a train wreck is at least a talented one, name anyone within the last 5 years that comes even near the number of briallant songs he has, u can’t

Stripes | 4/13/2007, 2:05 pm EST

Meg may not be the best drummer, but she keeps the beat and i say the white stripes are a great band to still sound awesome while overcoming the primitive drumming.

lol i love the idea of ben & jerry’s rock flavors.

Dwayne Brownstein | 4/13/2007, 2:18 pm EST

Christov hates Jimi Hendrix, Cobain, Coleridge, and JFK as well…

doublefantasy | 4/13/2007, 4:17 pm EST

fuk yoko and lennon too

Mr Biggles | 4/13/2007, 4:22 pm EST
