Thanks to Netflix using Kate Bush's Running Up The Hill and the fact that she's gone straight back to the top of the charts, it looks like Placebo's cover of the song (for 2003's Covers album) has also become the band's most popular song in recent times lol

Anyone watching the Rock Am Ring stream? Muse are on in 30 minutes! Placebo just finished their set and oh man they were SO good.

"Don't wanna... don't think so. Don't wanna... don't think so. Don't wanna... don't think so."

"I don't wanna... I don't think so. I don't wanna... I don't think so."

“Half the planet is on fire while most of the other half is slowly disappearing under water. The tech billionaires have retired to their enclaves in New Zealand which they protect with their private armies. Most of the Nouveau Poor, the new global cash-strapped, are burrowing into the surface of the earth for shelter as the Earth’s resources continue to disappear. The vengeful, and the utterly desperate, continue to fight but there is no more war for oil. There is none left. Today is the age of the drinking water wars. Entire nation states have become militarised fortresses, prepared to kill anyone who tries to break their borders, as they hoard whatever meagre resources remain. The tech billionaire money and land grab is over – and the Nouveau Poor will kill for food. Violence and brutality not seen since the Middle Ages erupts on a daily basis. Far-right militias, accountable only to themselves, police the planet, continuously inventing new reasons to kill anyone who isn’t white or faithful to the patriarch in the sky.

This is the beautiful future we were promised. This is the result of the progress that in our infinite wisdom we have sought and craved so religiously. This is our dominion over the animals, narcissistic and psychopathic interlopers that we are.

But it is not the end of the world, only the end of humanity, a distinction that in our overblown hubris we are unable to detect. No other species has so deftly shat where it eats, and Mother Nature has grown extremely weary of us.

Goodbye humanity. And good fucking riddance. Try better next time.” — Brian Molko

There’s so much new music this week to keep track of! Latest I’m hearing Placebo have dropped a new single, it’s all too much; this is great

When Brian Molko said, “the search for meaning is killing me, the search for meaning is killing me, the search for meaning is killing me, the search for meaning”
