Black holes and bright lights? A mash of black holes and revelations and the political, inspirational music that is "so hot right now". Placebo have possibly ruined Muse (Lord have mercy on their innocent souls) and mustered the annoying "charitable" hype of U2 and Coldplay (if they were really helping they'd fucking get off their cashmere sofas and build a well or a school; create lasting relationships you know? Not just throw money everywhere).
My point is, Placebo are not even trying to hide their plagiarism, not even in their clip either...apart from the song's title - the suits they wear, the "profound" scenery in the background and the repetitive chorus-like chant draw parallels with Muse's fashion, U2's arty clip for "Magnificent" (the way they exploited that town - Fez, Morocco - was so not magnificent, neither is Bono's hair, glasses or weird movements) and Coldplay's sing-a-long anthem "Viva La Vida".
Oh god, there's no stopping this author now, I am officially on a rant. Lisa Mitchell...fuck off. I don't need another awkward, boring, "indie" little girl who twitches like a crack whore and sings so softly i can't even hear you, even if i use one of Fred and George's extendable ears. You couldn't walk straight and upright to save your life (hey...like Faker's Nathan Hudson?! But he's gay ladies...unfortunately). But...they have cracked the market and i'm sitting on my ass, so who am i to complain?
On another note, right now, i'm liking the song "song for aberdeen" by Mando Diao, the clip "Parlez-vous français" by Art Vs Science, the album "Hot Fuss" by The Killers (perfect from start to finish) and the band Passion Pit.
Real musicians who make real music.
