Placebo Appreciation Thread #20: Sick and Tired of Tony's Farm

Placebo Appreciation Thread #20: Sick and Tired of Tony's Farm


The old thread is here.

We love Placebo because...
1)They are a three-man band that's 50% gay.
2)Brian's voice is beautifully haunting.
3)The lyrics are beautiful.
4)They don't take themselves seriously.
5)Brian is one of the most beautiful and creative men alive.
6)They can take an evil psycho stalker guy's disgusting, threatening message on Brian's answering machine, work it into their music and make it funny.
7)These boys are just so naughty. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
8)They make you come to this thread at 4 a.m.
9)At first glance you can never tell if Brian's a boy or a girl. [img]smilies/love.gif[/img]
10)They can lay us down anytime. [img]smilies/devil.gif[/img]
11)Brian breaks the word 'me' up and sings 'me - hee - hee - hee'.
12)Brian is sex personified when he sings(or speaks) in French. [img]smilies/drool.gif[/img]
13)They wrap us in lust and lunacy.
14)Instead of stressed we lie here charmed.
15)A nekked Brian can lead us like the blind anyday. [img]smilies/devil.gif[/img]
16)We understand the fascination.
17)We know they're as twisted as we are.
18)Our supply of porn tea will never run out.
19)They are gorgeous - even in christmas stockings.
20)Brian's got the best frocks and little tops. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
21)Only Brian can wear something that barely resembles a hat, and stil manage to look immensely shaggable in it. [img]smilies/in_love.gif[/img]
22)Even Brian can't carry off the wearing of shorts, amazing as he is... he's only a human goth lady-boy. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
23)Brian and perversity go together like chocolate and sin. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
24)Stefan named his first electric guitar banana, because it was yellow... [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]
25)Brian chased his production manager around the pool with a piece of wood that was bigger than he was [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]
26)Bri is an alien sex dwarf.
27)While Bri may be a dick, he's our dick. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Feel free to add to the list guys! [img]smilies/hotpinkie.gif[/img]

I thought I'll check out this thread (again).

So Nicky, what does the title mean?

I've been listening to their special version of SWG and I really like it and thought that I should try to drop in more often.

Hi everyone [img]smilies/wave.gif[/img]

I'm Anna, and I love Placebo, and I lurk on this thread a lot, but for some reason I never post, I'm just weird, I guess [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]

Anyway, I wanted to ask you something that's been bothering me for a awhile, there are a few words that I don't know their meanning, and I've looked in so many dictionaries, but still couldn't find them, and I feel really stupid singing words I don't know, so I thought maybe one of you could help me [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

1)Careening - from "Scared of Girls"
2)Plexus - from "Hang on To Your IQ"
3)Balthazaa (sp?) - from "Centrefolds"
4)Lube - from "Nancy Boy" (I always get the feeling that it's something sex-related, so I'd really like to know what the actual meaning is [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )
5)Assisi - from "Commercial for Levi"
6)Choking Trojan - from "Commercial for Levi" (I know what's choking and I know what's Trojan, but what do they mean together? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] )

I'd really appreciate your help, cause it's been driving me crazy for a really long time [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/wave.gif[/img] Welcome new people! I hope you two both hang around from now on. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] This thread is in need of a revival!

Di, since Placebo have started touring again we wanted something tour-related for our thread title. For a while Brian used to change the lyrics in Slave to the Wage from "Sick and tired of Maggie's farm, she's a bitch..." to "Sick and tired of Tony's farm, he's George Bush's bitch..." [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Anna -
1)"Careening" is going quite fast in a car or something like that. For example, "I careened down the road."

2)"Solar Plexus" is the name of the place right in the centre of your chest, between your stomach and say, breasts. If you've ever been punched there, it really, really, really hurts and sort of knocks the wind out of you.

3)"Balthazar" is a name. It may be from the Bible. The only time I've heard of it though was from Romeo and Juliet, he's Romeo's servant.

4)Lube - lubricant. You know, used in sex to make things... more slippery. [img]smilies/blush.gif[/img] [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

5)"Assisi" - not sure. Could be French?

6)"Choking Trojan" - this is just a guess, but Trojan is a condom brand so it might have something to do with masturbation? I wouldn't be surprised, considering it is Brian who writes the lyrics. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Thank you so much!!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I'm forever grateful [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I had no idea that Trojan is a condom brand, that changes my whole perspective about this song [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

BTW, did you know that Placebo have a new song called "Long Division"?? According to another forum, they've only played it once or twice, and you can hear it here , just wait until Brian finishes whatever it is he's saying in french...I really like it, it's quite cool [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] BTW, I absolutely [img]smilies/love.gif[/img] this site, it's a Placebo heaven [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thanks for the explanation Nicky.

SWG has a calming affect on my family, I need to listen to it more. I wish I had more time.

I read about Stefan in the paper today. It just said that he went to a school that many famous people in Sweden also has gone too ( a very rich school)

I guess a lot has reminded me of them lately.

Good to know that this thread exist.

I was about to come and link the song. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] I'm so slow, one of these days though I'll bring some actual news. Just you wait.

Not sure if you've seen this, but it's bloody gorgeous... <A HREF="http://"http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-9/380245/AmusedYetDetached.jpg"" TARGET=_blank>Click!</A>

Sorry, I don't know if that's Sarah's site or what and I don't want to steal her bandwidth!

Oh, as for Assisi, because it's capitalized it might be the city. But... that would make a whole lot of non-sense. Perhaps it's another dig at religion, it being a really religoius place. St Francis of Assisi was apparently the saint of animals too [and environment], which ties it into beastiality.

Not that I think that explanation makes sense, and perhaps people are just capitilizing it incorrectly, but I am a little bored. Plus, it's not French according to my search.

I'm going to go have my hair dyed now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the link Anna - I'm loving the site so far!

Di - Did you know Stefan went to the same high school as Brian? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

What colour are you getting dyed E?

[img]smilies/look.gif[/img] hello, remember me?

I'm so sorry I wasn't here the last week(s), I missed this place

and I'm here to tell you, that I saw Placebo live for the third time yesterday [img]smilies/hotpinkie.gif[/img]

they played in Dresden where I live, so I only had a 20 minutes bus drive to the concert hall

and it was so great - new setlist, they played Binonic - wow, Leni - [img]smilies/love.gif[/img], English Summer Rain - great and the new song Long Division - which I also loved imidiately [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

they had a great stage with video effects and cool stuff like a thin curtain which fell down after the first song Bulletproof Cupid [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

all in all a great, great show, concert, evening

Brian was wearing white - [img]smilies/sigh.gif[/img], Stef posed alot [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img], Steve was very energetic

Skin as support act was marvelous too

oh, hi to all the newbies [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I'm Trine, still flying from last night...

*sneaks back*

Thanks for starting the new thread again Nicky [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Trine - I'm jealous as always [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

I just checked the coming concerts here from now to the end of the year and no band worth listening on that list [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img].

Was my theory not brilliant? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I have the SWG cover version! *****ing brilliant.

Wow. I'm so jealous Trine! It sounds fantastic. Sigh, it seems so surreal that they're still on tour. I want to see them again.

Nicky - Oh, I've just dyed my hair the usual. ^_^ It's rather bright red with two black streaks at the front. :-) My sister did it for me, she did a good job. [img]smilies/clap.gif[/img]
