In today's post, I will follow up on an article from the previous week. Do you remember the Placebo ritual?
If not, it doesn't matter. Here is an excerpt from Brian's interview in 2014 before a performance at the Biarritz festival, I shared with you last Wednesday.

Last week, the whole article was dedicated to the band 𝑹𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒐𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅, today I will introduce you to two other named artists.

💢𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨 and 𝐋𝐂𝐃 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦, the second mention in Placebo rituals.💢
𝐋𝐂𝐃 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 is an American rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2002 by 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐲.
The band whose musical style best describes the word "𝑑𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑢𝑛𝑘" has 8 members, released 4 studio albums and won many musical awards in their career.
We've already written about this band, but it probably didn't remaine in your memory.
𝐋𝐂𝐃 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 was one of the bands actively involved in the protest against Margaret Court in Australia. Together with 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨 and 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐨́𝐬, they spoke publicly in support of the same-sex marriage law and sharply criticized the namesake of the Margaret Court Arena where their concerts took place.
LCD Soundsystem is a close band for Placebo. A few words about this band from Stefan:

Here is a link to an amazing video of the song mentioned by Brian from Madison Square Garden in 2016. After watching it, you will be able to imagine what energy Stefan is talking about.

💢𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨 and 𝐉𝐚𝐲-𝐙💢
A very famous American rapper, born in 1969. Known as the husband of the singer Beyoncé, with whom he has 3 children. He has influenced many artists and has also collaborated with many well-known musicians: Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Linkin Park, Alicia Keys, R. Kelly, Rihanna and many others. He has one more thing common with Brian and Thom Yorke - they have openly protested against Spotify's streaming of music.

Here Brian mentions Jay-Z briefly in this article from 2017:

♦𝑰𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔, 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌?

I'm not a fan of American rap at all, but this is definitely worth seeing - Jay-Z with Linkin Park and a wonderful memory of Chester Bennington, who I really miss.

At the end of this post, I will allow myself a small departure from today's topic.
Chester and his addiction and depression ended in suicide in July 2017.
Again, I must recall Brian and Stefan's efforts to talk as much as possible about this sensitive topic.
Here you can watch a video where Chester is shot a few hours before his death. It was published by his wife Talinda, with this sentence:
"𝐼'𝑚 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑠𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑟 𝑎 𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑑."

Men and their emotions. Men and their position in society. This whole post is about that. We need emotions to properly experience every situation in our lives.
Let's talk about it, together, with our children.
Change is possible. It's up to us.
