I haven't listened to much of Placebo, but after hearing the song "Pure Mourning" it totally changed my musical style. This song started a revalation.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Here's a fun fact for you Placebo fans.

The opening act in Europe for Placebo is....KOUFAX!!!

Yet another reason people should listen to these guys!

Koufax didn't open for Placebo when I saw them a couple of months ago. It was the Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster who were pants :(
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I thought pants was a good thing. Oh god i'm confused now.

I've only heard Pure Morning by them but I must say that song was stuck in my head for about 3 or 4 years, and I spent that whole time trying to remember what the damn thing was called (this was before I really knew much about the internet). I still remember the moment it came to me, in the car, on the way to South Carolina.
Such a weird episode of my life.

Ok that's my fucked up Placebo story, anybody else?

Pants themselves are a good thing. But if you say something's pants then that means its not very good - I have no idea why.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with a band having 3 members

-Dave Grohl on why the Red Hot Chili Peppers only let the Foos play a 45 minute set when they toured together

"baby, i wish you were my baby,
ill make u make a baby,
let's make electric power,
in fear u should not cower,
cuz girl i will protect u,
i promise not to sex u,
and IiiiiIiiiiIiiiiiiIiiiiiIiiiiii...." - Dudez a Plenti

"all by myself
cause I don’t want to drag you down, hold you down
cause you’re a friend
i blame myself
i guess you think it’s funny now, funny now
it's such a shame..."
-Feeder - Just a Day

I am still awesome.........................................................................................seriously.
