Hmmm. Looks like they’ll be performing at Pink Pop in Holland next week. Too bad it’s a festival, and it’s all the way in the south. I hate festivals. Lie around in the mud in the blazing sun waiting for your favourite band, while uninspiring untalented hacks occupy the stage, and drunken idiots vomit around you.
I must be getting old.
Oh well, Pink Pop is aired on live TV as well, so I’ll just watch them from my couch.
Why on earth are they visiting ALL those cities, but not Amsterdam? City of liberty, drugs, and sex! I heard these guys were such party animals.
I guess I’ll have to wait for the next tour, then. Thanks for the info, penny dreadful!
I’ve never been a big fan of outdoor festivals either. It’s cool that they’ll be showing the concert on TV. Don’t forget to post next week and tell us all about it.
I only have the “without you I’m nothing” cd (only because I buy like one CD a year) but I really like them. I would buy another one of their CDs but this year I already bought “Ultra Lounge: Organs in Orbit” heh heh.
The fact that someone has never heard Rush is sorta blowing my mind. How can I be only 32 and so freaking old?!?! Gee, maybe a car company should swipe their songs like Led Zeppelin or ELO so people under 15 will know who they are. :rolleyes:
voguevixen: I’m quite educated about music of the second half of the twentieth century, 19, and I had never heard of Rush until I saw them mentioned on this board. I’ve never heard any of their music. Maybe they’re an American thing - the Dave Matthews Band of the 70s/80s or something?
I like Placebo, but I’m less into their new album than their old stuff. It’s got its moments but there’s some fairly weak stuff on their as well, and Brian Molko seems to have toned down the hedonism a bit. I mean, sure it might be better for his health, but it doesn’t make him or his music as compelling.
I like Placebo. I first got into them after hearing Teenage Angst on the radio. I bought their one and only album at that time and it was on high rotation at home for a while. I haven’t listened to that CD in about a year. wanders off to find the CD
Fantastic music. Really, I love so many of their songs. ITs insane.
I havea mix I made right here, and I will listen to it soon.
Brings back some nice memories.
I played Black Market Music so much that I had to buy a replacement cd. This time, I’ll just play a copy and keep the original as a master cd. Wish I’d thought of it before.
Sooo… looks like the lads decided to throw in a show in Holland later this year! In Amsterdam, no less. Gee, I wonder why a band with such conservative demographics would end up in Amsterdam, of all places!
Of course, me and 2 friends got tickets. So, on October 7, 2003, I shall see Placebo at the Heineken Music Hall, which is right opposite my office, as it happens.
