Oh, Pete Doherty, you silly boy. The former Libertines frontman is in trouble with the law again after showing up to a court date with nine wraps of heroin on his person. That's right. Nine. According to The Guardian, the judge present accused Doherty, of being "either stupid or publicity hungry." As a result, a £750 fine for possessing heroin was added to his previous fines for "drink driving and driving carelessly."
Peter Gabriel, best known in the US for his single "In Your Eyes," is recording an album of covers called Scratch My Back, according to Billboard. The album will include tracks penned by the likes of David Bowie, Elbow, and Radiohead. What differentiates this from other cover albums is that another album, I'll Scratch Yours, will feature the covered artists' interpretations of Gabriel's songs.
It won't be released until 9 February, but Massive Attack's latest album, "Heligoland," is already selling like mad on Amazon. The album, the band's first since 2003's "100th Window," will feature the likes of Damon Albarn, Guy Garvey, and Martina Topley-Bird on guest vocals.
UPDATE: Radiohead's charity concert for Haiti that was mentioned in last weeks entry raised nearly $600,000 for Oxfam. Video, pictures, and more information can be found at Pitchfork.
