(#010) Placebo - Black Market Music

In this episode, our first Patreon Special, we’re shifting the
focus away from the three of us, and putting that choice to one
of you instead. So, at the suggestion of regular listener Adam
Chivers, we’ll be looking at the album ‘Black Market Music’, by
Placebo. 





Released in the year 2000, Placebo entered the studio to record
album three with a new sense of confidence and bravado. Sometimes
pretty, often menacing, and fuelled by a well stocked medicine
bag, ‘Black Market Music’ received wildly varied reviews by the
press, and reached number 6 in the UK charts. 





Adam claims that this album can quite easily bring him to tears,
so let’s see how it effects us. 





Thanks for supporting the show. This is Black Market Music by
Placebo, suggested by Adam Chivers.

Century, a whole load of drugs, Winston Churchill, and the
lyrical stylings of Limp Bizkit. All that and more, on this
episode of Between The Tracks.
