📍𝑹𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝑲𝒆𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒕 was born January 6, 1946 in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom.When he was a child, he played the piano, ukulele, banjo, and guitar. He also loved drawing and writing poetry and won awards for his poetry in high school. He formed a band called 𝑮𝒆𝒐𝒇𝒇 𝑴𝒐𝒕𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒆𝒔, which was short-lived. Around that time, he was influenced by the Beatles and sang their songs at parties and picnics.

In London, 𝑺𝒚𝒅 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕 reconnected with 𝑹𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔, his school friend from Cambridge. Waters had formed a band with 𝑹𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝑾𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 and 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏, which was called The Sigma 6. When one of the members left, Barrett joined the band, which went through several name changes and was finally named 𝑷𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒚𝒅 by Barrett in 1965, after two U.S. blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. In April 1968, Barrett was expelled from the band amid speculation about mental illness and his excessive use of psychedelic drugs. In 1996, Barrett was inducted into the 𝑹𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒍 𝑯𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝑭𝒂𝒎𝒆 as a member of 𝑷𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒚𝒅. He died of pancreatic cancer in 2006.

Several artists have acknowledged 𝑺𝒚𝒅 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕's influence such as 𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒓, 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑼𝒃𝒖, 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒄 𝑩𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒏, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝑫𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒅 𝑩𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒆.

🎤"For me, the first Pink Floyd album is a work of absolute genius. It's completely different from everything else they've done because by the time they get to write their second album, they kick out Syd Barrett, who started the band and who wrote all their songs, and then they become something else. What is great about this record is it sits on the border of garage rock from the 60s and psychedelia, you know, because essentially, Syd Barrett was very much inspired by the blues and it's a raw moment captured in time before psychedelia sort of ran away with itself (laughs). There's still like a real rough edge to it and you can really hear it on 'Lucifer Sam' and the guitars… there's no nice guitars, (laughs) but it don't have to be nice to be beautiful."

𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑮𝒍𝒐𝒃𝒆 is an original song from 𝑺𝒚𝒅 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕's first solo album "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒑 𝑳𝒂𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒔" (1970) which was recorded at 𝑨𝒃𝒃𝒆𝒚 𝑹𝒐𝒂𝒅 𝑺𝒕𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒐𝒔 on August 5, 1969 produced by 𝑷𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒚𝒅 members 𝑫𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒅 𝑮𝒊𝒍𝒎𝒐𝒖𝒓 and 𝑹𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔. It is a melancholic song that gives a glimpse of what 𝑺𝒚𝒅 may have been feeling about his mental health, the lines,

seems to be a reference to his girlfriend at the time, 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒚𝒏 𝑹𝒐𝒔𝒆, better known by the nicknames "𝑰𝒈𝒈𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒎𝒐" and "𝑰𝒈𝒈𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒖𝒊𝒕", who is also the lady who appears on the back cover of the album.

🎤𝐒𝐲𝐝: Yes, very much. It would be terrific to do much more mood stuff. They're very pure, you know, the words...I feel I'm jabbering. I really think the whole thing is based on me being a guitarist and having done the last thing about two or three years ago in a group around England and Europe and The States, and then coming back and hardly having done anything, so I don't really know what to say. I feel, perhaps, I could be claimed as being redundant almost. I don't feel active, and that my public conscience is fully satisfied.

◾🌛ℙ𝕃𝔸ℂ𝔼𝔹𝕆 𝕃𝕌𝕃𝕃𝔸𝔹𝕀𝔼𝕊 – 𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕥 𝕏𝕀𝕀.◾🌜

⭐𝐇𝐢 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬,
it's Wednesday and therefore our favorite topic can continue again.

The first lullaby puts you in the mood for a gentle evening mainly thanks to Brian's voice, even though the lyrics take us again to the dark depths of the human ego.


🔹🎶„𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄“🎶🔹
the second single from Placebo’s fourth studio album "𝑺𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒔".
Maybe you know it, maybe you don't, but this rock-punk version has an older sibling.

⭐„𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄“⭐ was originally written as a piano ballad but while in the studio, changed into a rock song. This latter version was included into the album. Luckily, an original version wasn’t also lost. Its live performance for 𝑹𝑻𝑳2 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑨𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑺𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 was released on This Picture DVD single.

🔹🎶𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 - 𝐀𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧

𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐎𝐍 „𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄“ (acoustic version):
🔹💬„We wrote it on tour and it was a very REM piece, an atmospheric piano thing, quite abstract. Then we were in the studio, and we covered it in a pretty punk way...“
(𝑃𝑜𝑝 𝑅𝑜𝑐𝑘 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, 𝑅𝑇𝐿2, 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑐ℎ 28𝑡ℎ, 2003)

🔹💬“Those are images that keep following us around no matter where we go. You see them when you least expect it and at times when you don't really need it. It brings back everything because of a certain smell, song or place. I find it very interesting, the way things follow us around. And I'm very open: I live the genre of the song. When you look back on certain relationships you can see who the person really was, which you couldn't at the time you were in it. You understand reality and you see that the memories you have can make a person seem very different.“
(𝐷𝑁𝐴𝑠𝑖𝑥, 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑐ℎ 2003)

🔹💬"Outwardly, 'This Picture' is crammed with basic SM imaging, but behind the metaphor, it denounces the self-destructive love relationships. It was a way to say that this state of mind doesn't interest me anymore. I've been damaged enough in such relationships in the past and now I've got nothing more to do there. I changed, I quit."
(𝐿𝑒𝑠 𝐼𝑛𝑟𝑜𝑐𝑘𝑢𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑁°382, 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑐ℎ-𝐴𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑙 2003)

Screenshot from the official video

This piano ballad is a beautiful intimate confession of saying goodbye to my old self who was subject to self-destructive relationships. There are a lot of references to my old life... and some moments I'm really not proud of...

Sometimes I too 'burned' emotional cigarettes on the chest of the man who loved me. Such relationships are always self-destructive for both parties, because no matter how inflated your ego is, your heart will always show you that you have not behaved properly.

That's why I initially took this song as a mirror setting. That's what Placebo music can do. We are not always the victim in a relationship, sometimes it is necessary to admit that we have played the game on our side of the field and don't always play by the rules.

Today I know that self-awareness is the most important part of lived experiences. What my role was, what should I have understood from this situation and how important it is to be able to forgive, both myself and others.

„𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄“ 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨.

It is important to know what we are willing to do to preserve a certain image we have of ourselves.
And it's important to remember that how we see ourselves can be different from how others see us.
~🔹~🔹~🔹~~🔹~🔹~🔹~~🔹~🔹~🔹~~🔹~🔹~🔹~~🔹~🔹~🔹~~🔹~🔹~🔹~~🔹


Let's go to the second gem of the evening. In order to share some live video, I chose a non-Placebo song.

The original version comes from unique singer Sinéad O'Connor. Do you already know which song we are talking about?


🔹🎶„𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐄“🎶🔹

”𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐞” 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐲 ⭐𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐞́𝐚𝐝 𝐎'𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫⭐ 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟕 𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐮𝐦 ⭐“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐛𝐫𝐚”⭐.

Placebo covered the song in 2003 and released it on their single DVD “This Picture”. It can also be found on the album “Covers”.

It's Brian's very favorite cover, did you know?
🔹💬𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎 𝒐𝒇 𝑪𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔. 𝑰𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆?
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐥𝐤𝐨: „I guess my favorite was "Jackie," the Sinead O'Connor track, which is why I chose to include it in our MTV Unplugged performance. […]“
(𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑉𝑖𝑐𝑒, 𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑘 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑅𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠, 𝑂𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑏𝑒𝑟 13, 2016)

𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐅𝐀𝐍 𝐎𝐍 '𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐄':
🔹💬𝑱𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒆 𝒃𝒚 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝑶'𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒓. 𝑨𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑩𝒖𝒔𝒉, 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒕...
𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐧 𝐎𝐥𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐥: A great artist who, I understand, decided to give it all up definitely. A pity ... Still, this song is beautiful. It is for a man who is leaving her. By covering it, as the three of us are guys, we somewhat perverted the meaning and we like that. It adds a sexual ambiguity that looks like us...
(𝑀𝑖𝑑𝑖 𝐿𝑖𝑏𝑟𝑒, 27𝑡ℎ 𝑂𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑏𝑒𝑟 2003)

This epic story can be interpreted in different ways, in any case, performed by Brian, it's a breathtaking lullaby.

This song always connects me to my meditative moments by the sea.
I live inland, but I have been to the sea many times and I return with love every time. I always need to find a quiet place where I can sit undisturbed, watch the waves move, feel the sand moving under my feet and just be... part of the whole universe...

And when I look at that amount of untamed water that has tremendous power, I can imagine the pain of millions of people who have lost a loved one at sea. This great mass of water gives and takes life.

Although Sinead's original Jackie is beautiful, Brian makes me feel more of the pain, the non-acceptance of reality, the denial that it can't be over yet. The false hope that everyone must have been wrong. My love is still alive and coming for me.

Enjoy a great live performance of Jackie from ⭐𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝟔 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟔 and I'm really looking forward to

PJ Harvey massively impressed Brian when he did his first steps in music and stayed one of his favourite artists forever.
📢𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: "Music is about expressing things you can’t in everyday life. A lot of what has pushed me forward is desire and I have expressed that in my songwriting – perhaps because it’s safer! I’ve always found music that is carnal very attractive but not in the most obvious way. [...] A lot of Polly Harvey’s early work was tapped into a sense of yearning and desire which I understood.”
(𝑁𝑀𝐸, 𝑂𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑏𝑒𝑟 2009)

⭐️𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐉𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐘 is a British singer-songwriter and guitarist whose mythically pitched, fanatically intense recordings and concerts set new standards for women in rock.
Primarily known as a vocalist and guitarist, PJ Harvey is also proficient with a wide range of instruments. She possesses an expansive contralto vocal range.
✨Born on October 9th, 1969, in Bridport, Dorset, Harvey began her career in 1988 when she joined local band 𝑨𝒖𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑫𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊 as a vocalist, guitarist and saxophonist. In 1991, she formed an eponymous trio called PJ Harvey that released two studio albums called 𝑫𝒓𝒚 (1992) and 𝑹𝒊𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒆 (1993). Since 1995, Harvey has released seven studio albums as solo artist and did a significant number of collaborations with various musicians such as 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝑪𝒂𝒗𝒆, 𝑻𝒐𝒎 𝒀𝒐𝒓𝒌 (𝑹𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒐𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅), 𝑩𝒋𝒐̈𝒓𝒌, 𝑱𝒐𝒔𝒉 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆 (𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝑶𝒇 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝑨𝒈𝒆), 𝑱𝒐𝒉𝒏 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉 (former member of Automatic Dlamini).

📢"When I'm working on a new record, the most important thing is to not repeat myself ... that's always my aim: to try and cover new ground and really to challenge myself. Because I'm in this for learning."
(𝑅𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑒, 𝑂𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑏𝑒𝑟 2004)

✨In both 2001 and 2011, PJ Harvey received 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞 for 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒊𝒕𝒚, 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒆𝒂 (2000) and 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝑬𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒌𝒆 (2011), that made her the only artist to have been awarded the prize twice. She has also garnered eight 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 nominations, seven 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐲 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 nominations, three 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞 accolades. In 2013, she was appointed a 𝑴𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝑬𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒆 for services to music and also received an 𝑯𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝑫𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄 at 𝑮𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒔 𝑼𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏 in 2014.


Not everyone’s cup of tea, Polly suggests she is often grossly misunderstood:
📢“People have a very specific idea of what I am – some kind of axe-wielding, man-eating Vampira – and I’m not that at all. I’m almost the complete opposite.” (𝐶𝑙𝑎𝑠ℎ, 2011)

✨Outside her better-known music career, Harvey is also an occasional artist and actress. In 1998, she appeared in Hal Hartley's film 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 as Magdalena—a modern-day character based on the Biblical Mary Magdalene—and had a cameo role as a Playboy Bunny in 𝐀 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥'𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞, a short film directed by Sarah Miles, in which she also performs "Nina in Ecstasy". Harvey also collaborated with Miles on another film, 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐞𝐫𝐮 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟐, which includes Harvey performing a cover of "When Will I See You Again".

✨Harvey is also an accomplished 𝒔𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒑𝒕𝒐𝒓 who has had several pieces exhibited at the Lamont Gallery and the Bridport Arts Centre.
✨In October 2015, Harvey published her first collection of poetry entitled 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒐𝒇 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒂𝒏𝒅. In April 2022, she presented a book-length narrative poem titled 𝑶𝒓𝒍𝒂𝒎.

𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 often mentioned how PJ Harvey influenced his songwriting.
📢𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: “After I moved to London, I heard PJ Harvey for the first time and the emotional intensity and depth of the album “Dry” also had a very, very big effect on me. I guess when I went into the idea of a band I kind of wanted to marry the kind of dissonant, atonal beauty of Sonic Youth's experimentalism with a kind of pained confessional and highly emotional quality that PJ Harvey's music has."
(𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑀𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑧𝑖𝑛𝑒, 𝐴𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑙 1999)

📢𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: "Steve [Hewitt, drums] introduced me to PJ Harvey when we were at university. Her songwriting instantly became a big influence on me. I was struck by how individual her voice was and then by how taut and nervous the instrumentation was. It was so expressive of internal torment, desire, lust and rejection. She’s always been very brave, she’s not afraid to make a record that sounds like someone bleeding on you."
(𝐾𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔! 𝐽𝑢𝑛𝑒 2006)

⭐️Brian mentioned 𝑺𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒂-𝑵𝒂-𝑮𝒊𝒈 from Harvey’s album 𝑫𝒓𝒚 in some interviews, particularly, as one of the “𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆” (𝐾𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔! 2006) and “𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎” (𝑁𝑀𝐸, 𝑂𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑏𝑒𝑟 2017).

⭐️Placebo had a chance to meet Polly Harvey in Australia when they both headlined 𝑩𝒊𝒈 𝑫𝒂𝒚 𝑶𝒖𝒕 𝑭𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍. We can get to know some more details from Stefan’s tour diary.

📢Me, Steve and Bill feel like death warmed up and moan all the way to Sydney. We invite PJ Harvey and her band to come on a Sydney harbour cruise organised by Virgin. They accept and we spend a beautiful evening seeing the sunset behind the Opera house. Fruit bats fly above us and we can see people walk the arch of the Sydney bridge. If I thought the tower in Tokyo was bad, that walk would definitely bring on my heart attack. I can hardly string a sentence together and go to bed. Bri's over the moon as he got a chance to properly talk to Polly and feels there is a connection. Maybe time to ask about a duet? He goes for dinner with Mick Harvey and some of the PJ crew.
The hotel's in Coogee bay just by the beach and the temp is around 35 all week. Inevitable sunburns.
(𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑓𝑎𝑛’𝑠 𝑇𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝐷𝑖𝑎𝑟𝑦 2001)

⭐️Brian admitted he would like to collaborate with 𝑷𝑱 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒚 but was too shy to ask her directly.
𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒖𝒆𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝑱 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒚 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈? 𝑰𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐?

So, this Brian’s dream hasn’t come true yet but… who knows🙂
⭐️However, Placebo didn’t wait for this collaboration and covered PJ Harvey’s song 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐋𝐘 𝐖𝐀𝐈𝐓. It was used as B-side on their single 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓-𝑬𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒉𝒚 released as Limited Edition picture disc (limited to 500 copies) and download in September 2009.

⭐️Brian included Placebo’s rendition of the song into the playlist he prepared for 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒚, his takeover show on 𝑿𝑭𝑴 𝑹𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒐 in December 2009.
📢𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: “…It is a Placebo cover. This is available as B-side on The Never-Ending Why, and we decided to go with one of my favourite artists of all time. This song in fact has only ever been released by this artist as a demo. The artist is PJ Harvey and the song from her 4-Track – Demos album, played by Placebo, is Hardly Wait, enjoy!”

♦️𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗔𝗥𝗬: 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘'𝗦 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗜𝗧♦️

Dear soulmates,
we have a second ♦️𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗔𝗥𝗬♦️ to celebrate: On October 7th 2016 Placebo did not only release the retrospective album “A place for us to dream” about which we talked earlier today, but also the limited edition vinyl EP and download 🎶“𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘'𝗦 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗜𝗧"🎶.

The record consists of six songs, half of them cover versions. It was produced by Adam Noble and Placebo. Stefan Olsdal, Bill Lloyd and Adam Noble engineered the tracks.
In an interview with NME in October 2017 Brian stated that two songs on the EP, the Talk Talk cover “Life's what you make it” and the Placebo single “Jesus' son”, are “possibly two of the most commercial tracks that we've ever done. We have a tendency to react allergically against what we’ve just done, so it's highly likely that the next thing we do will be something akin to career suicide. ” Well, it wasn't, as we know by now. ;-)

In June 2017 a video for the EP's title song was released. It was directed by Sasha Rainbow and filmed at Agbogbloshie in Accra, Ghana, the site of one of the world's largest electronic waste dumps. The video concept by Brian was loosely based around the original 1986 Talk Talk clip in which frontman Mark Hollis and company are surrounded by nature and “little beasties crawling over leaves”. What he had in mind was an updated version wherein Placebo “would be robots playing instruments and that e-waste would replace nature, as it appears to be doing only a few decades after the song’s original release” (Xs Noise, June 5th 2017) . But Brian also said that the video is not anti-technology. ”It is about the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity that has not been chosen” (Gigwise, June 15th 2017). He added that he hopes it will make the viewer think about the repercussions of just throwing away tech that doesn't work anymore. ”There are several new and ingenious ways to recycle them these days. Some companies will even give you money for it. All it takes is a little more effort.”

In 1998 Placebo recorded a cover version of this song for the glam rock movie “Velvet Goldmine”, in which Brian, Stefan and Steve Hewitt appeared as actors. Like in real life they embodied musicians, and allegedly Marc Bolan was the prototype for Brian's character in the film. “20th Century Boy“ was also released as b-side on Placebo's 1998 single “You don't care about us“.
The original by T. Rex was a stand-alone single released in 1973. It directly entered the UK Chart at number 3 and peaked three weeks in a row at that position.

Marc Bolan was born as Mark Field in London on September 30th 1947. As already mentioned above the guitarist, singer and songwriter was the frontman of the band T. Rex and one of the pioneers of the glam rock movement. His appearance on music show Top of the Pops in March 1971 wearing glitter and satins is often cited as its beginning. The T. Rex album “Electric Warrior“ (also 1971) has been described as the essentiall kick-starter of the glam rock craze. From 1971 to 1973 the band was extremely popular and placed 11 singles in the UK Charts.

On September 16th 1977, two weeks before his 30th birthday, Marc died in a car crash. It's a strange fact that he never learned to drive because he feared a premature death. The car was driven by Bolan's girlfriend Gloria Jones who only suffered a broken arm in the accident she caused.
In 2020 Marc Bolan was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

🧬 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐'𝒔 𝑫𝑵𝑨... this is a topic that seems obvious at first glance but is rather complex.

🧬 In 2018, 𝑼𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 has tried this exercise of finding the origins of Placebo. There are some very good points, as you can read in this article I'm sharing with you today.

◾ At first glance, the seventies have little in common with the nineties. There the debauched rock'n'roll lifestyle reigned, here the techno optimism of the early internet age. But in the nineties, rock music made a comeback. Grunge put on flannel shirts instead of spandex suits, Britpop dominated Britain. Placebo brought the two together and made the glam of yesteryear coexist with the hodgepodge that threatened to take over the pop world before the end of the second millennium.

◾Placebo frontman Brian Molko never tired of describing his band as outsiders. As phraseological as it sounds, it's true: Placebo's Nancy Boys rebelled against the legginess of the rock world, talked about bisexuality and depression. "We were reacting strongly to the machismo, the fan chants and the revisionism of Britpop," Molko stressed in an interview. "We wanted to make a political statement with the clothes we wore and the make-up we put on. They succeeded: The rock world became a little more queer with the band's success.

◾ Placebo is the name of a fake drug - a pill that doesn't work. But Placebo is also Latin for "𝐼 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒" and that's exactly what Molko, Stefan Osdal and their drummers - Robert Schultzberg, Steve Hewitt and more recently Steve Forrest - did with a sound that served punk as well as pop, that could be wonderfully quiet and deafening. It's a sound that goes straight to the heart and appeals not just to the fringe. To find out who inspired it, you have to look at Placebo's musical DNA.


🟣 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 & 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱 – 𝗔𝘀𝗵𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁

◾ Given Placebo's history, it's not surprising that Placebo is an outsider in the rock world. Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal attended an American school in Luxembourg as teenagers, far from any musical activity. Both hung out in different cliques and never spoke to each other, until they met years later on the London Underground. Molko saw that the skinny Olsdal had a guitar strapped to his back and quickly invited him to play solo.

◾ It was a providential meeting. Totally enthused by Molko's talent, the native Swede insisted on making common cause with the Briton. They borrowed the name of the project from one of the most bizarre outsiders in rock history. "𝐼𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑎 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝐵𝑒𝑒𝑓ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒," Olsdal recalls of the band's first name. "𝑆ℎ𝑒 𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑦 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡". With Placebo, the two men came up with an even catchier name. "𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑒 ℎ𝑜𝑤 40,000 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑖𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑡...", the bassist explains. Ashtray Heart, however, is also the title of a song on the album Battle for the Sun. The lyrics clearly allude to Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band.

◾Outsider or not: with their first album Placebo, the trio - which included Schultzberg alongside Molko and Olsdal - was a real hit. But now the two leaders of the band are not entirely satisfied with their first work. They find much of what got them media attention at the time too pop, too punk, too adolescent. They were compared to the first post-punk generation, when the inspiration was quite different.

◾"𝑊𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑆𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑐 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑡ℎ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐷𝑒𝑝𝑒𝑐ℎ𝑒 𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑒, 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑤 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑒𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑘," Molko recalls in an interview. American no wave here, British new wave there: clearly Placebo had absolutely nothing to do with the galloping Britpop trend, nor did they want to. But they have remained true to Depeche Mode throughout their career. In 2003, they covered the then ten-year-old song I Feel You from Depeche Mode's seminal album Songs of Faith and Devotion.

◾Unlike their Britpop contemporaries, who found their inspiration mainly in the sixties and seventies, Placebo either orientated themselves directly to the pulse of the present, or to the exciting early days of the British indie sound. So it's no surprise that the B-side of their 1997 single Nancy Boy contains a cover of indie heroes The Smiths, Bigmouth Strikes Again. Molko's nasally, decidedly androgynous voice seemed a perfect update to Morrissey's iodised vocal style.


◾Like Britpop after them, the Smiths represented a certain image of British culture with which Placebo could not and would not be associated. But in the romantic gestures of Morrissey's band and guitar genius Johnny Marr, Molko and his pals found something else: style. Few bands embodied musical and lyrical elegance as confidently as the Smiths.

◾Speaking of "Bigmouth": sometimes Molko would have preferred - like Morrissey - to keep his mouth shut. About what ? Well, about his bisexuality, which also became a declaration of war in Nancy Boy. "I've always been open about my sexuality, because I was quite a go-getter in the early days of Placebo," he admits quietly. "My coming-out felt important to take a stand. Looking back a quarter of a century, it's fair to say that Molko did exactly the right thing: Placebo started a small revolution.

◾But they were not alone. Suede established themselves in the late eighties and early nineties with a sound that is considered a precursor to the Britpop movement. But Suede also liked to flirt with the glam-rock aesthetic and play with his sexuality. "I'm a bisexual man who has never had a homosexual experience," frontman Brett Anderson once proclaimed. It is this phrase that would have inspired Nancy Boy.

◾Suede and Placebo were far from the only ones to openly embrace their fluid interpretation of male sexuality. Their master mind was David Bowie. Much has been said and written about Bowie's sexuality, not all of it positive: he is said to have had sex with minors, and there are whispers that his concessions to bisexuality were just a publicity stunt. In any case: by bringing a new image of masculinity to the stage and by transforming himself from time to time, he became a role model for entire generations.

◾In 1996, Bowie invited Placebo on a joint tour and even appeared in an alternative version of the title track from their album Without You I'm Nothing. "𝑊𝑒 𝑜𝑤𝑒 𝑖𝑡 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑡𝑜 𝑀𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑦," Molko revealed to the press. Moz played his colleague a demo of the band before Placebo was even released. He was thrilled. "𝐼 𝑚𝑢𝑠𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 24 𝑜𝑟 25 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑜𝑙𝑑 - 𝑖𝑡 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝑚𝑦 𝑒𝑔𝑜 𝑎 𝑙𝑜𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑," says Molko. The hero became a friend, his influence remained constant.

◾Not surprisingly, the band, and Molko in particular, were badly shaken by Bowie's death only three years later. "𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑤, 𝐼 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢," Molko wrote on the band's Facebook page. "𝐼 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢, 𝑚𝑦 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑏𝑟𝑜𝑘𝑒𝑛. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑚𝑦 𝑖𝑑𝑜𝑙, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑚𝑦 𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑑." The band has repeatedly shown how much Bowie influenced them. This is particularly true of their participation in the film Velvet Goldmine, loosely based on Bowie's life.

◾The band made several guest star appearances in this cult film, and can also be heard on the soundtrack. For Velvet Goldmine, they recorded a cover of T-Rex's 20th Century Boy, Marc Bolan's glam rock classic. Although the garish aesthetic of glam rock is undoubtedly one of Placebo's main influences, the band has never been content with trying to revive this short-lived genre.

◾The Black Market Music album was the first time Placebo had expressed their full potential. Although Molko is upset about the poor production sound of this groundbreaking record, he cannot deny that his band has rarely sounded more coherent. In terms of content, too, Placebo were able for the first time to realise what their mastermind had in mind, weaving dense, lyrical lyrics that had no pubescent charge.

◾In the song Slave to the Wage, for example, Molko describes, over Olsdal's feverish bass riff, the bleak daily reality of a 9 to 5. There is no doubt that as rock stars, a settled working life meant pure hell for the trio - at the time Steve Hewitt was still behind the gun range. As well as the distinctive guitar sound of Pavements Texas Never Whispers, which Placebo sampled for the track, the text also alludes to Bob Dylan's Maggie's Farm: '𝘚𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘨𝘪𝘦'𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘳𝘮 / 𝘚𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘷𝘦 / 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘴, 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘣𝘺𝘦'. The great Dylan had finally shown what a life for and through music could be like. Goodbye to making a living !

◾It is clear that Placebo has always represented and still represents a certain attitude to life. Outsiders on the one hand, creative and full of energy on the other. No wonder Placebo also loves PJ Harvey. When the band presented a cover of Hardly Wait - first released in 1993 on Harvey's legendary 4-track demo LP - on the B-side of their single The Never-Ending Why in 2009, it was a long-overdue tribute to the fantastic Polly Jean.

◾Molko discovered Harvey early on: when their first album Dry was released in 1992, he was immediately excited. "𝐼𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑔𝑒," he recalls in an interview with New Musical Express. "𝐼𝑡 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑟𝑎𝑤 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑢𝑡. 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑 𝑖𝑡𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑠𝑜 𝑢𝑛𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙.

But they couldn't match Harvey. But who can ?

◾Well, maybe Kate Bush. The latter's hit Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) is also an integral part of the Placebo repertoire. Their cover was first released as a bonus track on the US version of the Meds album and quickly became a fan favourite. "We cover songs that we love," said Olsdal. "We do it for fun in B-side sessions. We've covered a lot of bands, especially from the eighties. Depeche Mode and even Robert Palmer. Their version of Running Up That Hill, however, was to be very special.

◾"We're huge fans of Kate Bush and when it comes to this song, we think the lyrics have real depth, which is not noticeable in the original because she sings so fast," Olsdal explained of his band's approach. "𝑊𝑒 𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑 𝑖𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑡 𝑓𝑒𝑙𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑. 𝑊𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑡. 𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝐵𝑢𝑠ℎ ℎ𝑖𝑚𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘? "𝑊𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑟𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑢𝑠 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑖𝑡". Well, it all worked out !

◾Placebo has always been open to its influences, has dedicated solemn covers to its heroes and heroines and has always shown them respect, even behind the scenes. The same cannot be said for the bands who, for their part, owe a lot to Placebo. "You lose hair", Blackmail singer Aydo Abay is said to have joked to Brian Molko when he met the Briton backstage at the Melt! festival one day. Is this true? We don't know.

◾But what is certain is that the Koblenz band, which debuted a year after Placebo, has always reacted with annoyance to the incessant comparisons with Placebo. "𝐴ℎ, 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛," moaned Carlos Ebelhäuser, the band's bassist, when the conversation turned to Abay's singing in an interview.

🧬 On the other hand, I find that the comparison with glam rock is often overemphasized despite Brian, Stefan and Steve Hewitt's constant reminders (at the time) that this musical genre was never a major influence on their music. I strongly believe that if they had never made an appearance in Velvet Goldmine, the glam image would not have stuck to Placebo so much. I may be wrong, but Placebo would never have covered 20th Cebtury Boy if not for Todd Haynes' film. Of course, David Bowie was one of the main artists to use these glam tendencies and to play them to excess, but this is not what influenced Placebo, as Brian reminded us during an interview in Paris in 1998:

⬛ On September 12, 2010, the album 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑳𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒔 by the band 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬 was released, with 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐥𝐤𝐨 providing vocals on the track 𝑺𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒔.

⬛ Before reading, I suggest you listen to this beautiful cover of the 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐞'𝐬 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 song, 𝑺𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒔 by 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬. Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by the soaring.... and rhythmic atmosphere.

𝑺𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒔
📢 https://bit.ly/3TDYvHF 🎵🌠

⬛ 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬 is a London-based electro rock band, formed in 2007 by 𝐄𝐝𝐝𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞-𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬 and 𝐓𝐨𝐦 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐲. Their first album was 𝐵𝑒𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝐿𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑠, followed by 3 albums: 𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑆𝑜 𝑊𝑒 𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑡 in 2013, ...𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑆𝑜 𝑊𝑒 𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑇𝑤𝑜 in 2014 and finally 𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑇𝑜 𝑅𝑢𝑖𝑛 𝑂𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑃𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒'𝑠 𝐹𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑠 in 2016.

⬛ 𝐄𝐝𝐝𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞-𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬 ,the man of many talents (producer, DJ, radio host and TV host) is a good friend of 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧's. They met in 1998 on a Placebo MTV special. 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨 asked Eddy to interview them, and he was touched.

💬 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, 𝐄𝐝𝐝𝐲 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 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 was selected:

💬 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:

💬 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 🌟

◾ 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑳𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒔 is a collection of ten pure electro tracks, which has led to Losers often being compared to 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒈𝒚. For the song 𝑺𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒔 , the electro is very close to the sounds of the early 80s, a bit like 𝑶𝒓𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒆𝒖𝒗𝒓𝒆 𝑰𝒏 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒌. Which makes this song in particular a UFO among the other tracks (𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭... 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 😊 ). ◾

🔹 𝑴𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒔 𝑩𝒆𝒏𝒛 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒚 𝑱𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒔 𝑱𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒏, released on the album 𝑷𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒍 on January 11, 1971. It was recorded on October 1, 1970. She died three days later at the age of 27 from an overdose on 4 October 1970. The song Mercedes Benz is therefore one of the last songs recorded by Janis Joplin.

🔹 Janis Joplin was born in Texas and hitchhiked to San Francisco where she began her career. She drew her inspiration from the blues. She was probably one of the first female artists to leave her mark on the history of rock. She indulged in all kinds of excesses before her tragic end.

🔹 Janis is one of those icons of 70s rock who, despite a short but dazzling career, will leave a lasting mark on music.

🔹 Janis recorded the song a cappella. Her untimely death did not allow her to add instrumentals. A rather lively song, the lyrics are resolutely second-rate: she implores God to give her a Mercedes Benz car because all her friends drive Porsches and after so many years of work, she thinks she has earned it. She also takes the opportunity to ask God to give her a colour television (only rich people had them at the time the song was released) and is prepared to wait for Him every day and night.

🔹 During the 𝑺𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒓, 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈 several times after Pure Morning and at the concert in 𝑨𝒏𝒂𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒎 𝒊𝒏 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒂 𝒐𝒏 𝑫𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 1, 2003, while all their equipment was held up in Mexico.

🔹 For the story, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the band decided to do the show anyway and borrowed 𝑱𝒐𝒔𝒉 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆 (of Eagles of Death Metal) for his drum kit and the venue (House of Blues) for its piano. The band played an acoustic set of about 70 minutes during which they also played Jackie and Hurt by Nine Inch Nails. Brian has always claimed his admiration for Janis Joplin with an atypical voice.

💬 I’ve always been obsessed with voices that are unique like from Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bjork, Polly Harvey.

🔹 The anecdote was shared on Placebo's official website on January 9 ,2004:

" 𝑷𝑳𝑨𝑪𝑬𝑩𝑶 𝑮𝑶 𝑨𝑪𝑶𝑼𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑪!

After a whirlwind tour of Mexico last week, where the band played a club show to over 4,000 people in Guadalajara and then went on to headline a football stadium in Mexico City in front of 35,000 people, they returned to the USA on Monday December 1, only to have their equipment held up by customs.

This left the band in a tricky situation, as they had a sold-out show that evening in Anaheim, California, nearly 7 hours from where the equipment was being held! At 5pm the band decided that 'the show must go on', equipment or no equipment. So borrowing Josh Homme's (from Eagles of Death Metal) drumkit and the venue's, House of Blues, piano, the band set about designing a new acoustic set for that evenings show.

The show still lasted nearly 70 minutes, which also included much banter about the days events with the audience. The set list for the evening was as follows:

SPECIAL K
THIS PICTURE
EVERY YOU EVERY ME
PLASTICINE
TEENAGE ANGST
HOLOCAUST
COMMERCIAL FOR LEVI
PEEPING TOM
CENTREFOLDS
SLAVE TO THE WAGE
HURT
MERCEDES BENZ

💬 Yes, maybe we're too close to them for a cover to be relevant. If we covered PJ Harvey, it would sound like Placebo. In concert, we sometimes cover one song or another from the Cure (especially from their Pornography period). Similarly, Brian occasionally covers Janis Joplin's Mercedes Benz as an encore, on his own, a cappella. But putting it on record, I don't know... I wonder if it's not better to reserve that for the emotion of the moment, the ephemerality of a concert...
