NEW PLACEBO!

Posted about 3 years ago

Excuse the fan in me, but this band has never disappointed me in over 10 years now. Never. In over 10 years. It's crazy if you think about it. It's no wonder they have my eternal dedication and love. It has nothing to do with changing directions and all that jazz. They don't need to because they are still painfully good at being what they are. And it may not be your cup of coffee, but there's no denying there's real soul there.

This is yet another song that immediately got tattooed on my heart. It slowly builds up tension, breaks lose, goes back again and kicks you in the sin. I feel like I'm on drugs. Dream brother, my killer, my lover.

Download it for free from their website: http://www.placeboworld.co.uk/

You can expect a tremendous amount of Placebo ramblings in the near future. That's right, the old crazy me is back. MWUAHAHHAAHAH!

Goodnight, MOGgers. I AM SO HAPPY.

    I love Brian Molko's voice, there's no mistaking it for anyone else. I look forward to you keeping us updated on all the future Placebo developments!

    I thought I felt my heart skip a beat. Now it all makes so much more sense. This song fits in nicely with the rest of their oeuvre. I like it oh so much.

    But hang on ... there's a sane side of you?!? LIES!

    Dale oh Dale! You should have seen me when it aired on BBC radio last night. I could have done well with a straightjacket.

    Little black lies! :)

    Adam, I hear that! \mm/

    G, we are the MOG Molkostanis and we shall inherit the earth!

    My pleasure!

    I heard the Horrors track, it sounds so unlike them! Maybe it's the Portishead production.

    It's so precious to have a band like that in your life. I can't wait for the whole album...

    Cinful YES YES YES. I hear (about 30 times now) that!

    G, wise words. And they work on my benefit, I have to say ;)

    ME TOO!

    inrumford, glad you think so, my white-bearded friend :)

    Kevin, I appreciate the effort (when we meet in person you'll have no choice.... mwuahahhahahah!). Oh yes, I can't remember the last time I was this excited for an album!

    Uncle A, excellent! Thank you for bearing with it :*

    Thank you Anna! I was going to post it last night as soon as my download turned up, but my net gave up the ghost.

    Anyone here tune into Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show to hear it last night? He gave a shout out to the Placebo Fans Worldwide forum, which made my night * is a proud member *

    This is up there with the best material in their back catalogue. Love it :-)

    Okay- the first minute had me wondering what the hell (except I didn't use "hell" actually)... but then it caught fire and, like you said,

    "It slowly builds up tension, breaks loose, goes back again and kicks you in the sin."

    Reminded me a bit of Cheap Trick's "Daddy Should Have Stayed in School"- and I guess the MWUAHAHHAAHAH! would apply there. :)

    Heya Robin! My pleasure :)

    I tuned up. It was so exciting, I think you know how it felt.

    Here's to what will hopefully be a great new album!

    Neill, and you are a black and heavy weight :P

    Thanks for the video pressies {my German isn't as rusty as I thought they were}.

    Fasted, glad you agree! Now I'll have to go listen to that song you mention :)

    Andrea, hell yeah! \mmmm/

    I should give this a listen as I might be seeing them.  Going to my first ever festival this year - at the age of 23 - and they're playing but not sure which day yet!  Admittedly not familiar with many of their songs except Nancy Girl and Morning Glory.  I do have a random memory of them playing Nancy Boy on Top of the Pops when I was 10.  I remember being amazed that Brian was playing the guitar so fast and singing at the same time lol.

    p-wagz, glad you think so!

    milkshake, how exciting! Which festival is going to have the honour of deflowering you? Having seen them live I'd surely recommend them. Brian also changes about 20 guitars when he plays live :)

    ARRRGH!

    That's it! I'm posting another Koop tune.

    It's the only way I can cope with the agony.

    Secretly, I am happy for you.

    Not my brand but I won't say it sucks. Who knows, you and Galen may win me over someday.

    Don't be like that, we still have the rest of the album and the new Arctic Monkeys and new Muse. mwuahhahahhahah! Not enough Koop in the world, baby!

    One day me and Galen will get you good and drunk and get a signed I Heart Placebo confession out of you.
