๐Ÿ’ฌ That was the first time I actually met them. I'd seen them playing before in a gig, I'd seen them already at festivals but MTV was where we first met, in 1998. It was a Placebo special on MTV. But I think they kind of liked my vibe and they asked MTV: 'Can Eddy do the interview ?' So I was very touched. And that was the first time we met. They played a gig and I did the interview with Brian, Stef and Steve at that time. And then Brian suggested that we went to a pub afterwards and had a few drinks, a chat, exchanged numbers and stay touched and over the years we became friends.

⬛ Big fan of Jane's Addiction, ๐„๐๐๐ฒ always wanted to cover this song with electronic sounds. Once the recording was done, the question was who would provide the vocals for the song. And this is the story of how ๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง was selected:

๐Ÿ’ฌ We first felt that Brian would overshadow us, so prepared to contact Robert, but we then switched sides, I think, because were both such huge Placebo fans and really relished the chance to work with Brian. But it was only a snowballs chance in hell, Brian was a busy man. I texted him and he replied that he knew and loved that song, but couldn’t make any promises. I sent the track, and within 24 hours had a hilarious message back saying: “I love it. I’m doing it. I won’t let you use anybody else on this, I’m free on ONE DAY this year, and I’m coming to your studio”.

He did. With a cold. But it was now or never. Brian had this incredible tea called ‘Throat Coat’, or something, an American, medicinal brew containing ‘slippery elm bark’. I tasted some and it was like magic! It literally coats the back of your throat in this yummy, slippery stuff, so you don’t get that horrid scratchy feeling from a sore throat. Brian said it’s the ‘singers’ best kept secret’. That combined with the brandy he sent me off to buy -purely for medicinal purposes – in miniature bottles did the trick and Brian laid down, I think, one of his best ever vocals. We really stretched him and he rocked it like the true pro he is.

I don’t think Brian has ever recorded a vocal in such scummy conditions, in front of a multi-stained, upturned sofa, masquerading as an impromptu vocal booth in the Coopers control room. Now I look forward to the day he sings it live with us.

⬛ On the Losers' Bandcamp, you can read this anecdote, which is actually quite hilarious:

๐Ÿ’ฌ The album features very special guest Brian Molko from Placebo singing on Losers cover of Jane Addiction’s Summertime Rolls’, the instrumental of which Eddy and Tom sent to Brian to consider putting the vocals onto. Within 24 hours of hearing the track Brian called the Losers to threaten them…..” If you let anyone else sing on this track I’ll have them killed !” Thankfully Robert Harvey of The Music, lives on.

I understand Brian's reaction. The melody is captivating and hypnotic ๐ŸŒŸ
