Placebo
Placebo just released their 5th album, Meds.
It's alright. Not as good as previous ones, but alright.
They've just finished touring it around Britain. I saw a show in Glasgow (at the Carling Academy). I'm not sure how to comment, because it was my first concert. It was amazing, but it was extra exciting for me, I guess.
They played well though. They did some songs from Meds, and then went onto the "nostalgic part of the show", after having done the "techinal difficulty" and "slagging off James Blunt" parts.
The new album was played like it is on the album, but the older one's were modified a little. I guess you do that after years. They said so- something about experimenting, even with your own old songs, every time. Really, they just slowed them all down. They did a cover of Kate Bush, and some other song I didn't recognise.
They talked a surprising amount. The bassist was halfnaked by the 3rd song, and did his lovely belly-dancing.
I was pretty close to the stage. I got creeped out by all the people touching me, people spilling beer on my head, all the noise and stuff, and when my mummy, my 'escort', beat a guy behind us to the floor.
But all in all, a good night was had... by all. Huzza!
