Our first news for the new year?! Hope you’ve all been keeping busy? If not, perhaps pop by our 
suckerlove_ community to keep yourself occupied. Things have been quiet while Stef and Brian re-group. According to Stef the lads have been in the studio and played around with a few songs, but are still without a drummer.
Meanwhile, Placebo will join Mexican cinema by lending two songs to the soundtrack of the upcoming movie “Amor, Dolor Y Vice Versa” (’Love, Pain & Vice Versa)
Their song ‘I Know’, with new arrangements, will be heard during the credits of the movie.
“I went to England to meet them, showed them the third cut of the film and when we were talking about it they made me listen the song, a new version, and I thought it was fantastic,” said the director Alfonso Pineda.
Placebo’s participation came to happen when Lynn Fainchtein, music supervisor of the film, sent the script to the band.
“I’ve had a good relationship with them since a few years ago. When 21 Grams (a film by Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu, in which she worked) was released they contacted me saying they wanted to do things for a film but they haven’t found the right one”
The other old classic being featured in the film is Without You I’m Nothing featuring David Bowie.
Also, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all our March babies Steve, Stefan and Bill!

As the morning after reared its head, the song writing took a more naked and vulnerable turn with songs like “To the Light” and “Addicted” exploring the fragility of being in love and wanting to escape the harsh cruelty reality sometimes serves up. On the way a flamenco song (“The Sea”) and a lullaby came to be a part of the mix. The collection of songs was screaming to be recorded and so they roped in the effervescent Javier Solo to do the Spanish vocal duties. Stefan after years of developing his vocal tone with Placebo sang the English versions.

Brian Molko commented “Being in a band is very much like being in a marriage, and in couples - in this case a triple - people can grow apart over the years. To say that you don’t love your partner anymore is inaccurate, considering all that you’ve been through and achieved together. There simply comes a point when you realize that you want different things from your relationship and that you can no longer live under the same roof, so to speak.”
Between sips of Red Bull and long drags on three (I counted) Marlboro Lights, Brian Molko, the lead singer of Placebo – the best of six main stage acts at Linkin Park’s 2007 Projekt Revolution tour — acted calm and cozy less than two hours before show time. I found Molko, once infamous for pushing the envelope with androgynous costumes and irreverent lyrics, surprisingly normal. He carried the conversation in much the same way he lead Placebo onstage: with an old soul’s mix of humor, maturity and impatience.
