Placebo are to play Sonisphere next summer. Is it just me, or do they seem a bit out of place in this line-up ?

Part 1:
Icons from 2005-2009
If seen a couple of people doing this and decided to do it as well since I haven't done this before. It sure was fun going through all the icons.

⇒ Hi guys. What's new? I'm happy because I took all the exams I've got this year, I got good grades what makes me so happy. The best of it is that I got A at French. Yeah for me! It was tough at this time but thank God, I'm alive. Only Monday and Tuesday and I'm free. Oww, this year I'm so excitied about Christmas and New Year's party. Traditional Christmas Eve's dinner, then I've got to visit some of my relatives... I hate those things but I must admit that my uncle's silly jokes are so silly and because of their silliness they make me laugh so hard. Every year's the same.
⇒ I'm catching up with my Merlin. Today's last episode of this season, right? Excitied Y/Y?
⇒ You know that I hate Twilight to bits and I've got the same impression about The Vampire Diaries without even watching it. I called it TV-Twilight. But my friend told me that I really should check it out. So... I did it last night. It's nice I must say. And guess what - I'll be fangirling over... Stefan... or... Damon? Damon > Stefan (something is wrong with me. I'm fangirling over bad vampires. First Spike, then Lestat and Eric and now Damon? XD). Plus, I have to say, Ian really fits in. As vampire character. It's quite a surprise for me, seriously.
⇒ No more Bones this year, right? It makes me sad a little bit. It was great half of the season. I've read so many speculations and spoilers etc. Can't wait to January!
⇒ I FELL IN LOVE WITH VIOLET HILL BY COLDPLAY. I LOVE THIS SONG. <3
⇒ As almost everyone here, I'm prepering the best of 2009 picspam. I'll post soon.
⇒ Have seen this? XD JIM AND KALEY ARE THE BEST THERE!

It is time of presents, of wonderful Christmas and coming New Year'10. I don't know if it is not too late, but I want to make interest icons for you, guys. For all this month I didn't make icons at all (just a couple for challenges) and I don't know what to start with. So icons for you would be the best idea :)

Leave a comment if you wanna get interest icons!
It is not limited, I will make icons for every person who comments to this post!

*check your interest list in your profile so I can pick one/two interests ;)

From Mark Beaumont's profile on www.guardian.co.uk :
"Mark Beaumont is a music journalist with 13 years experience writing for publications including NME, The Guardian, The Times, The Mail On Sunday, Uncut, Melody Maker, Loaded and The Modern Review. His first book Out Of This World: The Story Of Muse was published by Omnibus Press in October 2008 and in 2009 he publishes an official Placebo biography and completes work on his novel '3 Minutes'. Mark has seen the reformed Pixies at least nine times"

And from Mark Beaumont himself on nme.com in response to someone speaking about the biography (September 7th 2009) :
"It's in two volumes now Chris, Volume 1 is done and with their management, not sure of a release date yet"

It seems this music journalist is a Placebo "fan" and friend, and interviewed the band a few times.

He wrote Muse's biography "The Story Of Muse" wich was corrected by the band, so this time maybe we'll have something interresting for a change...

EXPATRIATE’s show in Cologne, Germany on 4th December 2009 marked the last of 24 arena tour dates throughout Europe supporting Placebo. The tour took them through France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Poland and Austria, playing to thousands of people at each show. When EXPATRIATE were approached by film maker Bruno Barthas to document their journey through France and show the fans intimate access to their private thoughts as well as their euphoric stage performances, they were delighted to invite him on the road. Watch the EXPATRIATE Winter 2009 Tour Diary part 2.

It is also available to view on the band's OFFICIAL VIMEO channel. And if you haven’t yet already, you can still watch Part 1 here or on VIMEO.

So, I mean, I know Sufjan Stevens is popular (in certain circles) but it never failed to baffle me when, exactly one year ago, I made this post on Volume Knob. It blew up, and gave a permanent boost to our readership.

And sure, a lot of blogs linked to my post, but most have the exclusive readership of the blog's author. Then I checked one blog link. (Whaa-wait? NY Mag featured our blog AND WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT??)

and here's some SUPER-serendipity for you:
TODAY'S NY MAG FRONT PAGE, MOTHAFUCKAZ: THE B-Q-E.

Oh yes, if you didn't last year, be sure to download Sufjan's "Songs for Christmas Vol. 8" from last year.

Is anyone else having trouble with actually finding this in the store? 
You can order it now! ^^ (but omg shipping costs outside of UK are insane :S)
