www.sucker-love.com/placebonews/newsimages/brianjule_berlin08_photogOlafHeine.jpgRecently Brian Molko was the celebrity subject for photographer Olaf Heines. Zeit Online have published a series of photographs called ‘Artists In The Face of Loneliness’. According to Heines, this particular image is supposed to tell the tale of Brian as a lonely Dandy in the 21st century. The photograph with model Jule was taken in Berlin, 2008. It certainly evokes vivid imagery from the Placebo song, Special Needs; “…think of me stuck in my chair that has four wheels… remember me through flash photography and screams… remember me…” Heines is not the first photographer to secure Brian as their striking feature subect. Some of you may also recall the gorgeous black and white image of Molks in JB Mondino’s ‘Guitar Eros’ in 2006.

Yeah I'm excited to see what it's called too. I put money on that it's one word.
Rumour has it that Brian has had the title for this album since Meds was made...

On January 18th PIAS Entertainment Group announced that it has overcome fierce competition from major labels and agreed on terms to sign Placebo’s new album. Placebo have released albums via EMI’s Virgin label since its 1996 self-titled debut, but the band has moved to PIAS Entertainment Group for the European release of its sixth record, out in June. Kenny Gates, co-founder and co-chairman of PIAS Entertainment Group, announced the signing during the “Serving Artists, Serving Fans” panel discussion at MidemNet, which was moderated by Billboard international bureau chief Mark Sutherland. The partnership is for Europe only and it is service deal, allowing the band to retain copyright on the album. PIAS will provide marketing, promotion and music services; the British release will go through PIAS U.K.’s Integral service. “We will work with them hand in hand to cover all aspects of what needs to be done with the next Placebo album, coming out in June, to make it a very big success,” said Gates. “I’m proud and delighted that Placebo have chosen [PIAS] as partner for the next stage of their extraordinary career. It looks like the band have delivered their best album ever, and one which we believe may prove to be the most important in their career and indeed the history of [PIAS]. …I believe that Placebo’s choice is based on a clear like-minded empathy and shared vision and ethos about the music business. This proves again the value of [PIAS] offering a broad range of services tailored to the specific needs of artists and labels rather than signing a traditional artist contract.” Placebo frontman Brian Molko commented, “We are delighted to be signing with [PIAS], one of the world’s most respected and successful independent music companies. We were very lucky to have so many great labels interested in signing us, it means a lot, especially after 12 years of releasing records!! But we now feel we have the right partner for Europe in these ever-changing times to continue this crazy adventure and to scale even dizzier heights with our new record”. www.placeboworld.co.uk/
