The Heartbreaking Work of a Staggering Junkhead
The walking stain that is Pete Doherty has a website called BalaChadha.com. The words are Bengali slang that supposedly translate to "top blonde" or "good white", or so says SPIN. At least the dude is consistent with the junky persona.
The simple site has four video clips of Doherty sitting on a couch "performing" by himself with an acoustic guitar. The production values can only be described as a cross between an Al Qaeda video and amateur Internet porn. Like everything Doherty seems to be involved in its a trainwreck, but again consistent!
Some sample song lyrics:
"If you're still alive when your 25
how shall I kill you/like you asked me to/
..like you told me too?"
And:
Covered in scars and full of heroin
everyone said from the start
not one single thing could ever be ok
she didn't listen anyway
she just opened her heart
Wonder what petite supermodel this may be in reference too?
If this site did not involve Libertine, Babyshamble, and media curiosity Pete Doherty, it would no doubt be relegated to email forwards titled "crazy kid can't sing ohmigod so funny!!" Seriously though dude, get it together. So damn consistent.
