New Placebo album growing on me, not least as a result of the intensity of the following description from Brian Molko
“I began writing the lyrics when I discovered my neighbors were spying on me on behalf of parties with a nefarious agenda. I then began to ponder the countless ways in which our privacy has been eroded and stolen since the introduction of worldwide CCTV cameras that now employ racist facial recognition technologies; the rise of the internet and the cellphone, which has turned practically every user into a paparazzo and spectators in their own lives, and how we have mostly all offered up personal information to enormous multinationals whose sole intent is to exploit us.
I used the cut-up technique invented by William S Burroughs and popularized in modern song by David Bowie. It’s a true story told through a lens of paranoia, complete disgust for modern society’s values and the deification of surveillance capitalism. The narrator is at the end of their tether, hopeless and afraid, completely at odds with our newfound progress and the god of money.”
Physical media inbound from Piccadilly Records. If that’s not ironic.

Listening to, and watching, Bruce Springsteen concert live from Asbury Park, 2009. On Sky Arts, and available on ‘catch up’. Excellent stuff.

An interesting story about this is that Van didn’t actually play the concert just the rehearsal but the film makers edited it to look as though Chet and Van played in front of the audience together.
Elvis Costello who did actually perform in front of the audience bumped into Van on his way to rehearsals and Van asked if he could tag along he then duets with Chet sings this amazing song but fails to turn up for the gig that night.
Funny Van did a Chet on Chet Baker who was well known for not turning up for concerts.
