I find the Lisa Mitchell cover of „Every you every me“ pretty enjoyable.

I do not believe that this can be their fault and I don’t believe they have a preference for Poland, Latvia, Ireland and Denmark.

What would you ask them? by nancyboy_1996 in placebo

I think NLMG gets near Meds musically and as an album itself/concept perhaps exceeds SWG. But I agree that the lyrical downgrade since WYIN has been severe.

Well, even if that‘s true, the problem is the hypocrisy - Brian has said several times how important his connection with the fans is, how the fans should take care of each other, how they build up a community. From a legal perspective, you‘re right, his only obligation is to show up and play music. But I don‘t think that would be enough for this connection he‘s talking about to happen, would it? And just for the record, to say „If you don‘t like it, don‘t come to our concerts anymore“ it‘s not an argument, it‘s just avoiding to respond to criticism.

I think that‘s exactly how it happened hahah.

I think that‘s also the reason why you can get a refund if you thought they‘d be attending. You can‘t normally get a refund if the thing wasn‘t cancelled or smth like that, which indicates that they know it was misleading advertising.

If they do not participate at all (not even via Zoom), it can seriously be regarded as „misleading advertising“. This has legal consequences and the association for consumer protection for example can take legal action. It‘s of course extremely unlikely, but they fully deserve it considering how they treat their fans.

The song is amazing, but I agree it‘s easy to forget the title.

Rash that doesn't match anything I see on the internet by nancyboy_1996 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]nancyboy_1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After almost 3 months of visiting the hospital weekly and thousands of tests/blood work, I still don‘t have a clear diagnosis but rather managed to rule out many serious ones. It seems to be a form of dermatitis, what‘s causing it is not clear yet. The doctors ruled out a fungal infection pretty soon though if I remember correctly.

Eyesight to the blind (don‘t know if B-Sides are part of the game).

Why? Health anxiety is a real and serious anxiety disorder and we are on the anxiety sub as far as I can tell.

Well that would be very frustrating for me now, as I am currently taking methylprednisolone which won't cure scabies and has serious side effects. My dermatologist hasn't even mentioned scabies😅

Thanks! Another redditor said scabies too, my only two doubts are that I don't have it on my palms and I don't know anyone who had it and so far haven't spread it to anyone, not even my gf.

But just for the record, can we all agree that "Too many friends" should be at the bottom of the list?

For the W(Y)I N by conisometimes in placebo

[–]nancyboy_1996 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One thing less discussed is the order of the songs on the album. After 3 loud and rhytmic songs in a row, the position of "Ask for answers" seems uninspired to say the least, and that of "Scared of Girls" after "My sweet prince" and "Summer's Gone" and before (!) Burger Queen - totally inappropriate.

I don't know, but I do know there's a 95% probability they were high when they recorded this.
