I may have posted this on a friends page once..or not. I found it in my old files and thought it too amusing not to use.

Placebo Part Ways With Steve

Sigh. Lovely. More bad news. From the official site:

"Placebo have parted company with drummer of 11 years, Steve Hewitt, due to personal and musical differences.

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."

The split is amicable and a sad time for both parties. Steve Hewitt replaced Robert Schultzberg behind the drum kit in 1996 whilst the band were promoting Placebo’s eponymous debut album and went on to record the following 4 studio albums ‘Without You I’m Nothing’, ‘Black Market Music’, ‘Sleeping With Ghosts’ and most recently ‘Meds’.

Placebo have just returned from the USA where they were part of the high profile ‘Projekt Revolution Tour’ alongside Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance. The band are now taking a well earned break.

Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal will begin work on Placebo’s 6th studio album next Spring and are in no rush to find an immediate replacement for Steve"

I'm still in shock. Will comment later. Maybe.

Matthew Caws of Nada Surf did an interesting interview over at absolutepunk.net. Click here to give it a read.

Nada Surf seems to be continue to gain momentum, which is quite a feat for a band thought of as a one-hit wonder over a decade ago.

There's A Lack Of Color Here...

Fortune, that fickle mistress, has seemed fit to frown upon me as of late. Of course, the wheel turns: one day it grinds your face into the sodden earth while the next your grabbing towards the sky at the wheel's peak. Fortune, then, must be in park at the moment.

I've done my best to at the very least pretend I'm unphased by this turn, but, honestly, it's getting more and more difficult. It's a lonely and strenuous time to be Myles Griffin. In an attempt in avoiding being a complete sad bastard, I'm going to end that bit. I don't really care to go through everything specific at the time. I just wanted to state my weariness with everything going wrong and the fact that it would be lovely to have some positive things happen to me. You know, for a change of pace.

By chance, I ran into my friend Bryant while visiting with Nikki and little Kayla at Barnes & Noble last night. Our similarities in character have been pointed out casually every one in a while, but last night, it became very clear that we're definitely cut from the same fabric. We have great differences, but there's a core similarity there that cannot be easily duplicated. We announced the exact same thought on at least four occasions throughout our hour and a half conversation.

We've been talking for two years about doing a comic together. I believe we should get serious about it very soon.

A good number of people are asking me a review or what I think of Say Anything's In Defense of the Genre. I've sort of avoided doing it, but I may spin one out. But for now, this one line review will have to do: Max Bemis pisses excellence.

OK, I'm finished for now.

It Isn't Fair, But It's Reality. I Need A Miracle In My Veins, After All

Sigh.

I'm not sure what to make of things right now. People confuse me a great deal, and suffice to say I'm pretty down about things. But, I suppose I never had a chance to begin with, and I'm not exactly sure why that sort of thing still surprises me, as it's been reoccurring for the last two and a half years.

Ugh, that's as far as I'm delving into that right now.

The plan for today is to dive into looking into new musics. However, considering the trend lately, it is unlikely it will go as I hope. But I'm going to give it the old college try nonetheless.

In other news, I am transforming into a mad scientist.

You are all doomed.

Because I am feeling particularly evil this morning, I'm forcing the death of your childhood upon you. Enjoy.
