On our second visit in New York City in 1998, for the occasion of our honeymoon, we visited the Virgin Megastore on Times Square, which of course doesn’t exist anymore. I bought two records there: Hole’s *Celebrity Skin* and Placebo’s *Without You I’m Nothing*. Both bands I had no idea about, so I judged the CDs by their covers: they featured women, which made me assume that they were made by female artists. *Celebrity Skin* for sure is, but [Placebo](http://www.placeboworld.co.uk/?ref=glamglare.com) is a all-male three-piece. It still became my favorite album for quite a long time.

*Pure Morning* is the opener and the album never lets you down from there. In 1999, we saw them live at the fabulous [Southside Festival](http://www.nyrock.com/reviews99/southside.htm?ref=glamglare.com) in Munich and their raw energy blew me away (curiously Hole played there as well). We saw Placebo a few times more after that and it was even one of our first shows after we moved to New York.

The video I have seen much later when it was recommended by another artist (was it Grimes?). It has some nice drama to it, but aren’t we all happy that Brian Molko… well, I don’t want to spoil it.
