As for the new album [Battle For The Sun], he said that it’s “fantastico” and going to change rock history. “How wonderful it is! They’re modest as always,” noticed an interviewer. Like it wasn’t enough of the game, Brian got closer to Simona’s breast and came up with another brilliant thought: “All of a sudden I want a glass of milk…”😂

🟪𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊 𝒄𝒉𝒆... 𝑰𝒍 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒄𝒊𝒐 is a sports-themed entertainment television program initially broadcast on Italian TV during the period of activity of the Italian football championship (il calcio means ‘football’). Over the years, the format of the program was changed into a more youthful version. Not only famous footballers and sports journalists but Italian and international pop and rock stars have been its guests. The program airs from the TV studio 3 of the Rai production center in Milan.
🟪𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 is the first single from Placebo's sixth studio album Battle for the Sun. It debuted in the UK Singles Chart at No. 97 and was nominated for the 𝑲𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈! Award for Best Single. It was played live 379 times, 117 of them during Battle For The Sun Tour.
Brian was pretty often asked to tell about For What It's Worth in the interviews. I decided to pick up some quotes to follow a playful theme we started with. I hope it’s ok for you😉
📢𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐥𝐤𝐨: How does someone become less sexually charged? I don't know about that. (Laughs) Perhaps it's less on the surface. With Battle For The Sun, I started out wanting to make quite a libidinous record. A celebration of all sexuality, because it's such a part of life, the beauty of life. So it's there. It's there in songs like 'Kitty Litter', 'Speak In Tongues', 'For What It's Worth', "Come on lay with me / 'cause I'm on fire"? Do you need me to write that down for you, man? Perhaps the sexuality is more subtle; it's not coming at you in terms of a transvestite on crystal meth.

📢[Brian is] showing a wide, not very innocent smile, as if he’s waiting for something particular. No. Please not. Blushing. On what the line “your god-shaped hole tonight” aims, seems to be the headword hoped for, at least Brian laughs happily: “I already sensed this line would be open for interpretations. But it’s not about vaginas or other specific orifices of the body.” His hands are meanwhile forming a circle, he pauses, “why am I doing this right now?” Stefan blames the Freudian subconscious. “No, the expression aims on the hole everyone carries in their souls. A lot of people fill it with God, Jesus, religion, others with humans, drugs or alcohol. It’s the little piece of you which is missing. The place of birth of all desires and all wishs and emotions – that’s what it relates to for me, but already when I wrote it, I was sure most people would understand it sexually. For me, the song is about the libidinous party of life. That’s not sexual, but rather like embracing the universe.” This image of the libido surprises everyone and goes under in collective snorting. “That’s as well a way to push your buttons before intercourse” Stefan giggles. But the piece didn’t come out of emotional or erotic tension, but: “Boredom, the most boring six hours of bus ride between New York and Boston. I was so annoyed that I wrote the song out of frustration.”
