i gotta grab that hot blog status back. woohhoo.. okay so today we're gonna talk bout this band named placebo. Brian molko my ultimate fave.((:

PLACEBO are brian molko(vocals, guitar),stefan olsdal(bass, guitar and keyboards) and Steve Hewitt(drums). One American, one Swedish and one Englishman.
Placebo's unique vision of music and life began in Luxembourg, where Brian initially met Stefan, who is Swedish, at school, at the ages of 12 and 11 respectively. As Brian recalls, "in the space of seven years we might have exchanged one sentence."
Brian came to London when he was 17-years-old, studying drama at Goldsmith's College. Stefan, meanwhile, had followed his parents to England, and was studying guitar at the Musicians Institute in the East End. It was thus by sheer accident that he ran into Stefan at South kesington tube station (at 9:30-a time when Brian was never awake),"There he was, with a guitar strapped to his back, and he didn't actually want my phone number he asked for it out of courtesy" .

By that time Brian was also working on his own musical ambitions, writing songs as well as playing occasional gigs with a drummer called Steve Hewitt and happened to be playing a gig that night. Stefan attended, and immediately decided a band had to be formed " I fell in love with his voice and his guuitar playing because it was really different" remembers Stefan. Steve Hewitt - whom Brian first met outside Burger King in Lewisham in 1991 through a common friend who was Steve's girlfriend- was also involved with another band called Breed, but contributed to Placebo's intial demos when time permitted.
Because of his conflicting commitments with Breed Hewitt was replaced in Placebo by a Swedish drummer called Robert Schultzberg.
Olsdal called round with Robert with whom Stefan has been at school and in a band with in Sweden (he was coming to London to study music ) and Placebo was born."It was perfect, it just gelled " remembers Brian.
The band was named after a drug which cannot work, they figured something " you only think makes you feel better".

2006 year in review of celebrity hookups and breakups..

2006 has been a roller coaster ride for Hollywood couple watchers -- the crazy hookups, the heartbreaking splits, the blink-and-you'll-miss-it rebounds. A few of the most memorable romances -- and kaputs -- of 2006:

Britney Spears & Kevin Federline: From "Chaotic" to closure, this was one breakup that invited more sighs of relief than gasps of surprise. Just two months after welcoming her second child, Jayden James, with her virile but rap-challenged former back-up dancer, K-Fed, the Britster rang down the curtain on their three-ring marriage. Even her post-split partying with Paris Hilton couldn't tarnish the superstar's endangered image any more than her tabloid-friendly marriage.

Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes: You'd think anything this constantly spotlit couple did after the couch-jumping and the Baby Suri mystery would have been anticlimactic, but they managed to make their $2-million-plus Scientology wedding at an Italian villa in November an affair to remember. Oprah was slighted! Posh Spice was the stylist! Baby Suri was the guest of honor! And the TomKat prenup? Airtight. Somewhere, L. Ron Hubbard is smiling.

anxiety 1: the dentist

the cure: before an appointment, do something soothing like listening to calming music. it replaces negative sensory associations with the dentist's office with new relaxing ones.

anxiety 2: juggling too much

the cure: stay focused on the tasks and channel your anxiety to solving problems rather than focusing on the symptoms.

anxiety 3: deadlines

the cure: a brain break even if it is for 30 seconds! no matter how busy you are, take time to close your eyes,relax your hands and breathe deeply. it'll help you finish the project quicker and with better results.

anxiety 4: interviews

the cure: chit-chat- whether your anxious about a job interview or a conference with your kid's teacher about a discipline problem you've been unable to correct. talk about weather or say something like " i hope you didn't wait long". small talks helps build the rapport you need to win over the other person.

anxiety 5: speaking infront of a crowd

the cure: imagine you're talking to your friend or family members..

ANXIETY TRAPS TO AVOID!!
