Placebo


Last night at 8:17pm, I received a text message from a friend in Canberra that I hadn’t spoken to in months, and I hadn’t seen in over two years. More than that, a friend I’d only met once:

‘What do u wanna hear’

Uh…pardon? James, I think you’ve sent it to the wrong number.. this is Jess… in Brisbane…

'Placebo. I owe u for the tle @ bdo'

Now it all sinks in. My favourite band Placebo is playing in Canberra. James is a band photographer. Flashback to 9 months ago at the Gold Coast Big Day Out, where The Living End were playing their new material live. Because of James’ obsession with TLE, I gave him a call and he listened in on a few songs.

So, James decided to return the favour, and I had the chance to hear ‘live’ a few songs off their new album ‘Meds’ as a warm up for seeing them in Sydney on Thursday night.

I just can’t believe he remembered.
