My Window To The World…

Again I am recommending a track by a band that has been rocking my world for a few years now: “Without You I’m Nothing” by Placebo.

The Cure’s Robert Smith introduced me to Placebo, since he kept mentioning them in interviews.

While I always enjoyed the music, Brian Molko’s voice did take some time to get used to. On their latest album, "Meds", it is more accessible than ever. Or maybe I have simply gotten used to it.

Before "Without You I’m Nothing" was released, Placebo were still relatively unknown. They did nevertheless manage to hire none other than David Bowie to do the backing vocals on the single release. While he does sound good on it, I prefer the longer album version.

You will most likely receive some more Placebo recommendations in the future…. (They deserve it.)
