Lazy Journalist Inserts Cheeky Drug Reference Headline Here

Why is it that Placebo make me feel the same way New Kids on the Block did in 1990? I don't know. But here's the part where I boast some indie cred: when I was backstage at the Dodger Stadium NKOTB show in 8th grade, I met Marky Mark and he had airbrushed overalls on. Mm, I think I just felt your jealousy ping.


Anyhow listen, Placebo's new album Meds is stellar (it features duets with Alison from the Kills and Michael Stipe from you know what) and it's been grossly overlooked here in the States. Listen to tracks and their brill take on Kate Bush's classic "Running Up That Hill": here. Trust us.

As for the tour, here are the dates where you can expect to see me, Ryan and a bunch of 17-year-old girls in the front row ready to offer Brian Molko, Stef Olsdal and Steve Hewitt our virginity* and eyeliner.
