11 March 2009 Paris in Springtime!
 Hi All,
Just returned from Paris after playing two triumphant shows with Peter Doherty. Both shows were great but the second night on Tuesday was particularly fantastic! Peter was on top form and the whole band played a blinder. It really was a gig that I believe will log in the memory of those who were lucky to be there as one of the best in Peter's history. I'm feeling very proud of all who took part in the show.
Got back to read in the NME some 'quotes' they attribute to me that piss me off somewhat though! According to the NME they quote me as saying that I agreed to produce Peter's Solo album so that I could be at the front of the queue to produce the next Libertine's album! Now this really annoys me as it appears a horribly calculated thing to do and I can assure you that I said no such thing! I produced Peter's record because I believe in him and wanted to help him get these great songs recorded - end of story! Christ, when we first discussed making the album last October there wasn't any talk at all about a Libertines reformation. I wish these f***ing journalists would get their story straight! All I said to the NME was that I was a huge fan of the Libertines albums and of course would love to be asked to produce them 'if' they got back together. It's shown me how easily a quote can be twisted to appear as something else.
Oh well, onwards and upwards. Going to have to practice some guitar now for the Brighton show next week as Mr Coxon will be away in the USA.
Bye!
Stephen
