You wanna talk about Placebo?
Yes.
Why? Suddenly Placebo?
Because, I’ve started a new page… it’s on the navigation… for “100 Love Songs” — they’re English songs… and I’m going through them. I don’t think I can come up with 100 songs in one sitting. But I’ll work at it… I’ll add to it… Tonight I’ve done about… 8 songs so far… and I’m just… at the Placebo one, “Every You Every Me”
You like that song? Actually, I didn’t even know you liked Placebo.
I never told you that I liked Placebo?!
No?!?!?
Well, surely our mutual friends knows.
How would they know?!
They know my FRIEND that I went to the PLACEBO CONCERT with… IN MELBOURNE.
I… don’t think they would remember these details about you. Honestly! (Chuckling)
Hmmm… well, we’ve hung out. I can’t remember if me or the friend told them about our little trip to the Placebo concert…
When was this?
The Placebo concert?! Before I met you…
A long time ago…
Yes…
They played in Melbourne?
Yeah, of course!
And how was it?
Well, the friend said, “You look too innocent to be at this concert…”
(Chuckling)
It was at the same venue as Maroon 5 around that time.
You saw Maroon 5?!
Yeah… they were alright…
(Laughing) JUST “alright” — ?!
Maroon 5 had a lot of like, seemingly 14-year old girls… and then Placebo was like… goths everywhere…
(Laughing) You would’ve looked too innocent for that concert… (shaking his head)
I didn’t feel that innocent?! I felt like, “Yeah!!! PLACEBO!!!” I was into it.
(Chuckling) And? Now? 2025?
I think “Every You Every Me” is the one song of theirs that’s stuck…
Why?
It reminds me of the movie, Cruel Intentions… and it reminds me of… I don’t know, a teenaged kind of… fuck it. Kind of feeling?!?!?!!? (LOL)
(Laughing) Okay, yeah… I think I get it?
Well… it reminds me of someone else… a friend from my past…
Oh?
Yeah… it reminds me of them… and… I don’t want to forget… so… this song, reminds me of them… even though… it’s not about them?! I think it relates to us now… but… it also reminds me of them… is that weird?!
No, it’s not weird… it’s very you…
I’m not sure if our friends can tell you that much but we hung out together with the Placebo friend… at ungodly hours… drinking ungodly stuff…
The friend from the past?
No — the Placebo friend was the partner of the friend from the past…
Oh?
Yeah… once upon a time… This is their love song, too.
(Wanting to rewind…) What the hell kind of ungodly hours and ungodly stuff?!
(Chuckles) Ask our FRIENDS! I wasn’t ordering any of it! I don’t know what the fuck I drunk!?!?! (Laughing)
(Jaw dropped) WHEN was THIS?!?!?!
I can’t remember… Sometime after 2015…
And…?
Then me and the Placebo friend walked around in the city… just walking and talking… we walked and talked for hours… about the friend from the past…
Do you often catch up with the Placebo friend?
Only when I’m back in Melbourne…
Do you… want me to meet Placebo friend one day?
(Nodding) Yes, I’d like that very much. I think… you two will get along, in a way… maybe in a healing way… for both…
Why?
I don’t know, I just sense it.
What would we have in common?
You both… love… me?
(Taken aback) They love you?
They love me like a sister, sure?!
(Not sure how to process this) Okay…? “Sister” — ?!
No!!! Like, really, they love me like a platonic sister… and I love them in that platonic way too.
Oh… okay? So… they’re important to you. Like a family member even though you’re not related.
Yeah. They’re important even if we don’t keep in touch every day. They’re very, very important to me in my heart. And if I’m ever in Melbourne, we’re going drinking together at ungodly hours… (LOL)
(Realising)… THEY BRING BACK MELBOURNE BITCH?!?!?!!?
(Nodding) (Laughing)
THIS PLACEBO FRIEND BRINGS BACK MELBOURNE BITCH!!!
Yes… Placebo friend… was Melbourne Bitch’s mentor… (LOLOLOLOLOLOL)
Ohhhh!! Now I really wanna meet them!!!
(Cackling)
