I blog here about my vegetables (mostly) and sometimes about my family & work - but i do have another often well hidden passion, and that's Placebo. I love them. In fact, I often sit at my desk with my ipod on letting the genius wash all over me.....
Certain of you (who will remain nameless) have been taking the piss about my enthusiasm recently - but I really don't care. The music stirs something in me that literally no other band can. and that in my book is serious! People are passionate about so many different things and there is some music that really really appeals to my more edgy side - y'know that is mostly hidden from general consumption but comes out when it's dark and very late.
I digress, Hub and I ventured out recently to see the great band themselves at the Boscombe Opera House. Having been forced to sell my soul for tickets on ebay (and eat a McDonalds - but that is another story!) and queue (which I am very good at but hate) I can honestly say it was THE best gig i have ever been to. We were really close to the front, had a top view and I was so excited that I literally bounced on the spot for the entire set. And they didnt disappoint. placebo rocks. awesome.
The trouble with such brilliance, is that it does come to an end. Not them, but the concert and I was left with a huge placebo shaped whole for at least the entire summer and potentially forever as there hadn't been any tour plans.
Until today that it is.... I received an email announcing a tour, in the UK, at the beginning of December. And my friends, I will be there. In Birmingham, with bells on. Excited and bouncy once again. Rock and Roll!
