In this episode, our first Patreon Special, we’re shifting the focus away from the three of us, and putting that choice to one of you instead. So, at the suggestion of regular listener Adam Chivers, we’ll be looking at the album ‘Black Market Music’, by Placebo. 

Released in the year 2000, Placebo entered the studio to record album three with a new sense of confidence and bravado. Sometimes pretty, often menacing, and fuelled by a well stocked medicine bag, ‘Black Market Music’ received wildly varied reviews by the press, and reached number 6 in the UK charts. 

Adam claims that this album can quite easily bring him to tears, so let’s see how it effects us. 

Thanks for supporting the show. This is Black Market Music by Placebo, suggested by Adam Chivers. 

Other topics include: TIME’s Song of the Century, a whole load of drugs, Winston Churchill, and the lyrical stylings of Limp Bizkit. All that and more, on this episode of Between The Tracks.
