With all the police-dodging, crack-smoking and groupie-shagging, you might wonder when Pete Doherty manages to find the time to write new material, let alone play it live, so I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the new Babyshambles track 'Pretty Sue' posted on the Babyshambles MySpace yesterday.

The song is a pretty rough demo version performed live, but the presence of typically Babyshambolic guitar alongside Pete's pained (in a good way) vocals shows that it will be a really good track when it's all polished and produced and whatnot.

The best thing about 'Pretty Sue', however, is nothing to do with the music, but the way it allows you to indulge your inner nosey-parker. As Doherty laments 'pretty Sue, she'll tire of your way', it doesn't take a genius to work out that he is possibly referring to everybody's favourite snow-nosed beauty. It's like OK Magazine for your ears, this song! Alright, alright, I know it's a bit wrong, but there's nothing wrong with a few guilty pleasures now and again.

Keep your eyes and ears glued to their MySpace for new tracks.
