My newest art piece! Special props to @progressive-waves-art for inspiring me to try my (amateur) hand at drawing something from the artwork of Kamelot's The Awakening! Her work served as a great lesson for me in drawing simple hands - I always struggle with them, so this was really, really helpful visual! 🤍
I'm very happy with the result, which is, of course, just an interpretation of the original artwork of the CD (I don't know if that's necessary to be mentioned).

What I say: This is my favourite band, you should try their music!
What I mean: This is the shield that I put up every day to protect me from my own overly-stressed brain because when they tell me things like “you’re not a coward ‘cause you cower, you’re brave because they broke you and yet broken still you breathe” I believe them. Also they have great beats and their voices are incredible.

The Placebo Effect
When it comes to music, for me, there is no other band that compares to Placebo.
Placebo came into my life when I was around 9 or 10 and they changed my life. I didn't understand the gravity of the lyrics in many of the songs but I loved the sound of them. It was unlike anything I had ever heard before (or since for that matter).
Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal inspire me every day. They are two of my favourite people on the planet. The influence they have on me is profound. I find solace and joy in their art and their aesthetic informs a lot of the choices I make with clothing and makeup.
Their music is a safe space.
They are the reason I created a Tumblr profile; I wanted photos and GIFs of them on tap. My username and bio description are Placebo related and my profile picture was taken with a special filter they released when the Surrounded by Spies single was released in 2021.
I was fortunate enough to see them live for the first time last night (13/06/23) in my favourite venue. Second row. Right in front of Brian. So close that I could see the blue-green of their eyes.
Right from the opening chords of Forever Chemicals, I went to another plane and still haven't come back.
This was the one. The perfect concert.
They are masters of their craft. The mix of older and newer songs. The relevance of the lyrics. Every note was poignant and visceral. The power in Brian's voice was stunning.
Seeing the enjoyment on Brian and Stefan's faces as they smiled and gave knowing looks to each other, it warmed my heart. I made eye contact with both of them several times and being able to connect with them like that was unbelievably special.
I sang to every song, and danced and jumped. I threw my hands up and shook my hair around. I cried when they played Song to Say Goodbye and Happy Birthday in the Sky. I kept putting my hand on my chest, right over my heart, so I could feel the vibrations of the music. I let go of my inhibitions. I love that they encouraged a no phone/camera policy; it was a room full of people living in a unique moment. For 23 songs, they had us in the palm of their hands.
It was a gift to share that time with them. To watch them do what they love and to hear songs that I connect to on such a deep emotional level.
When they left, the cheers and clapping went on for ages and I started to process what had just happened.
Outside, I reunited with the friends I had made while queuing and inside the venue, and we had a very excitable de-brief together, took group photos and exchanged contact details.
It was a perfect evening. I was euphoric. Floating far above the metaphoric clouds.
And then I met Stefan. Actual Stefan Olsdal. One of my absolute favourite people. I had written a letter to him and Brian and decided to ask the security people outside the tour bus if they could get it to them. I got an even better and totally unexpected offer: "would you like to meet Stefan?"
The next thing I know, he's coming out the bus to specifically speak to me.
It was so easy to talk to him. He's very softly spoken and sweet. He asked me how long I had been following them and was surprised at how young I had been. He also seemed excited that it was my first time seeing them.
I did gush a bit incoherently but he was lovely and and comforting. His replies to my praise were humble and precious. I loved seeing his smile up close. He also gives very satisfying and long hugs. I adore the photo we took together and I will treasure it forever.
I mean, look at Stefan's beautiful face.
Thank you Placebo for your art, and for last night. It was like being in a dream. I will never be the same again ❤️

Heyyy, I didn't know Good Kid was popular among the MCYT community.
That's nice. They're one of my newer favourite bands, thanks to some sick animations that introduced me to their music. (Thanks, xray.alpha.charlie)
They have a very consistent sound. Not a lot of experimentation in their music, from what I've heard, but that's not a bad thing, necessarily. They know what they're going for and they stick to it loyally. I always know a new song of theirs will be another jam.

Fav. Band!
Helloooooo! My friend invited me to her birthday party. We made our own chocolates and chocolate bars well if you can call it bar. I already ate my chocolates but look what I made:
It says "Sabaton". And Sabaton is my absolute favourite band! After "King gizzard and the lizard wizard" and "Metallica" or "Nirvana".
