In 2003 a novel by the name of ‘Sushi Central’ was published, discussing aspects of teenage homosexual life. This novel also happens to prominetly feature many references to Placebo and as a result suckerlove thought it would be great to let you know more about it, and even ask the author, Alasdair Duncan, a few questions.

Graciously Alasdair obliged, and what you’ll read here are some FANTASTIC answers to a few questions about the current & future novels, publishing homosexual literature, the reasoning for the use of Placebo as a reference point in the novel and plenty more!

Thanks for the insights Alasdair, you’re a star!

The DVD is due out November 7th [in the UK at least]. There are two versions of the Live 8 shows.

♪ 4 Disc International version, Placebo’s wonderful performance [I mean that, the guitars!! ♥] on Disc 3. Purchase here

♪Paris Live 8- Which I believe is featuring both songs, Twenty Years and The Bitter End, played on the day. Purchase here

And as I haven’t updated you may have gathered there’s still no more news on alleged press conferences or anything else.

(more…)

News is that Kerrang has made a brief mention and congratulations to Brian Molko and Helena Berg in the ‘Stimulants’ section of their magazine. Though of note, this information is NOT official nor confirmed in any way.

“Congratulations to Brian Molko & Helena Berg with baby Cody”

If true I like to think that all Placebo fans will be respectful [in many ways] and offer their congratulations. *cheers*

50,000!! My my, look how far we’ve come …and turned into quite the institution…err, though of what variety I don’t dare to venture! So just over a year old as a site, and almost a year since we moved to our own domain [October 17th!] and we’ve achieved such a great milestone!!

♥ Well to celebrate we’ve got some more treats for you… firstly, on your way into the site, I hope you’ll notice the loverly new site banner. I’ve also made a few minor changes to the layout on the entrance page.

♥ I’ve added some wonderful whorage/pimpage items to the links page, PLEASE save them to your computer and upload them to a photohost [perhaps photobucket?] place them on your sites, in your messageboard sigs and journal info to spread the looove!!

♥ Finally to what this celebration is all about, the wonderful muse_in_my_head and I have slaved away for the last week to bring you an ‘uber’ Soulmates Never Die: Live in Paris gallery , so far of just the documentary. “So what’s so good about that, we already had one”, I hear you say! Well firstly, shush, secondly, it used to have 30ish images, it now has 394 screencaps!!! That’s 8 pages of slashy goodness!!

Go…run, frolic! Hope you’re enjoying your visits here as much as ‘we’ love having you visit! Oh and Guestbook comments = LOVE.

Thanks to xsofplacebo.net:

To summarise, in English, though not [yet] confirmed by the official site, it’s said that in a week, maybe two, Placebo will be holding a press conference in Paris to present their NEW SINGLE and have some sort of Q & A with the music press!

So this is brilliant news for Placebo fans, hopefully we’ll get to hear a morsel of the said new single, learn its title and perhaps even the title of the fifth album!? So things are looking good for the single to be released in January 2006 and the full album [and tour?] soon to follow!

♪ Of interest to Australians, the first line up announcement for the Big Day Out 2006 music festival was announced and though fans had tipped the lads make a return appearance, so far it seems they will not.

♪ Also just to let you know that I transcribed some lyrics to Brian’s collaboration with Indochine, Pink Water, and added them to the relevant news post here.
