The ironic part of the Pete Doherty story to me is that probably only 1% or so of the people who follow his every transgression and fuck-up on Perezhilton.com have heard his music, let alone heard of The Libertines, which could have/should have been the biggest band out of the UK since Manfred Mann (What, were you expecting me to namecheck The Clash or Oasis?). So, it's nice to see the D-Man release something with his new group Babyshambles, even if it's a casual effort in terms of the song and video. "Delivery" is simple garage rock rave-up, matched with a b&w video that essentially consists of Doherty and crew walking and driving around the streets of London. Added bonus: Video director Douglas Hart was the original bassist for The Jesus & Mary Chain. Cool, right? --> watch "Delivery" below via YouTube
