There Are No Innocent Bystanders (or 'How I Broke Up The Libertines') by Didz Hammond →
Some of you may know Didz Hammond as the former bassist and unofficial spokesman for The Cooper Temple Clause, and many of you may be aware that when he departed the band, he joined Carl from The Libertines’ band, Dirty Pretty Things. You may also have noticed he’s writing for DiS again. So, we thought, who better to send along to review a new documentary about The Libertines than the man himself…

There are loads of gay erotic fantasy stories about you and Pete being lovers on the internet, does that bother you?
C: I completely advocate creative thought, and if people want to make
up stories, I am flattered to be involved. I don’t mind it at all really. I’d
rather people did creative things than did nothing or negative things or talking
shit in forums.
D: I would be quite flattered I think.
C: Didz is hoping someone might very well do it for him as well. You
just need to work out which band member you’d like to be with. (laughs) Even
if it’s not sexual, I wish there was more things to advocate creative writing.
D: Stories like ‘Carl Slays Dragon’.
C: That’s like a personal fantasy - me slaying a dragon in a particularly
tight suit of armour.
D: Chain mail really…
C: Who else have they written stories about?Morrissey and Marr and the guys from Suede…
D: Well, that’s an obvious one, that’s like saying the guys from Right
Said Fred.Funny you should mention Right Said Fred, because there is a very funny clip on Youtube of Carl in which he’s being made to look like he’s singing “I’m Too Sexy’. Have you seen it? It seems like an obvious charity single?
C: (laughs) What does it look like? Are they taking the piss out of
me?
No, I think they made it because they think you actually are too sexy.
C: Well then, let’s get it out there.
D: Call the record company.
I ADORE Carlos Barât and Hate his haters!
