๐Ÿ“ขIn Sydney, on February 21st, 2010, ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’ was interviewed by ๐“๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐‰ radio.
I picked up the parts of the chat connected to Australia as a topic of today’s post. The part where Brian tells about their concert at Angkor Wat and human trafficking is missed because there are a lot of other interviews dedicated exactly to that performance. Anyway, I’d really recommend you to listen to this whole audio, it’s so lovely and funny at times! Mr. Molko was obviously in a great mood that day, ready to enjoy his time in Australia, laughing a lot and telling an anecdote about the goth๐Ÿ˜‰

๐“๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐‰: It's lovely to have you here and back to Australia once again, a place you've been to many, many times, does it kinda feel like the second home to you?

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: Well, if it was a second home it probably wouldn’t be so far away ... I think I would spend a lot more time here because I like it so much if it wasn’t such a bitch to get to. You know, I have an issue with flying, I really dislike it.

๐“๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐‰: What do you do to calm the nerves? When you get on the 30 hours flights?

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: Sedatives. I have to sedate myself, you know.

๐“๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐‰: …Have you seen that Placebo audience has changed over the years as you've been coming to Australia?

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: Yeah, you know, every time we come back there's a whole new generation of 15, 16 years old, sort of move down the front and discover the band on that recent album and then people… who were there before, on previous tours, just kind of move back a little bit further into the audience but they're still there. So it remains cross-generational.

๐“๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐‰: Yeah, which must be exciting for you as well, to keep the energy alive to watch that...

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: Absolutely, the fact that these guys in their mid-30s can write songs which people who are 15 years old can understand and connect with says a lot about us as people but I think it's fortuitous in a professional way, you know, for our jobs, it's kinda good.

๐“๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐‰: Are there anything in terms of being in Australia, is there anything left on your to-do-list. Do you still come down here sort of think "I really gotta go to that wildlife park or go to see that museum or just go jumping the particular beach, is there anything left you really wanna do this time around?

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: You know, I normally hit the beach, a lot, which is I think a lot of people are quite surprised about. As a band we are always trying to encourage the goths to get a sun tan. That's perhaps another cause we are involved.

๐“๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐‰: Tan up goths?

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: I remember I did a signing once in Australia, and a girl came in and she was so pale, she was definitely white. We were sitting there in our shorts, signing CDs and things like that. And I said “Hey, you know, you should really get yourself down to the beach!” And she said “But it doesn’t go with my clothes.”

๐Ÿ“ขThe same day, ๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’ ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’—๐’† did an interview with Video Hits. Besides Battle For The Sun album, they talked about covering Running Up That Hill, and Stef told about him meeting Kate Bush that seemed to be an exciting fact for the interviewer.
