"PLACEBO CONFIRM ‘ASHTRAY HEART’ AS SECOND SINGLE – OUT 21st SEPTEMBER"
For some reason I just got that in an email from the actual website...
Now, why this is confusing to me is because I hate this band. I think he has the worst and most annoying voice of any Alternative artist these days. "For What It's Worth" is just plain annoying.
Anywho, yeah.

I like this band. He does have a voice that takes getting used to but I have a fondness for strange voices.

The only problem is that FMQB says the next single is "Bright Lights".

Who would you believe? The band? Or FMQB?
And if you say FMQB I'll just assume you're joking, I've never seen so many typos on any other site.

Well seeing as how Placebo is a UK band and we don't know if "Ashtray Heart" is a U.S. single or not, I'm going to actually trust FMQB on this. Seeing as how they're usually accurate on information, typos not included.

And AllAccess says "Bright Lights" too. So eat it.

I still don't know why that would be a better source than an email straight from the band.

Because maybe the band is talking about their U.K. single?

And bands don't always make all the decisions for every aspect of their marketing everywhere in the world?

^Well, the email was sent to U.S. residents. And, even if they don't make all the decisions (which, of course, we know they don't), why would they make an announcement to the contrary?

For one, the announcement probably is a press release from the label, not from the band itself. For another, Placebo's home location is probably considered to be the UK, so any news would probably be for that market before anywhere else. Bands have been known to have different U.S. singles than the rest of the world. It's not an unknown occurrence. A press release is a press release. Are they really going to distinguish all the people on their mailing list to give them a specific press release, or are they just going to mail it out? After all, "Ashtray Heart" is probably their single in all parts of the world except for the U.S., which is obviously getting "Bright Lights". Why is this so hard to understand? Furthermore, answer me this. Why would two different websites get the same "misinformation"?

Why is this so hard to understand? Why do you care so much about what I think? I never said you were wrong, just saying that I disagree because FMQB and allaccess have been wrong in the past. The fact is, you find different sources reliable compared to the ones I use. Who really cares? Get over yourself. Why would two different websites get the same "misinformation"? Two sites that share a lot of information with each other, whether they admit it or not. As I recall, both had adds dates up for Distuberd's "Destructible."

PLACEBO have confirmed that the second single to be taken from their new studio album ‘Battle For The Sun’, is to be
'Ashtray Heart'
The single is released on the 21st September on CD single and a 5 Track iTunes bundle that includes the breathtaking new video of ‘Ashtray Heart’
*The Track listings for each format are:
CD Single
1. Ashtray Heart 2. Fuck U 3. For What It’s Worth (Losers Remix)
iTunes Digital Download Bundle
1. Ashtray Heart 2. Fuck U 3. Hardly Wait 4. For What It’s Worth (Losers Remix) 5. Ashtray Heart (Video)
This is the email I got (Minus a few little artsy things, such as the cover for Ashtray Heart's CD single).
Pen is probably right, and I wouldn't argue with him considering I know almost nothing about this band other than the voice aggravates me. I also don't know why I got the email. I don't think I ever signed up for anything. But I have been getting a lot of emails lately regarding Alternative music.
But the fact that it's being released to iTunes makes me wonder as well. And that they're making a video.

You're both wrong....lol....(i'm just here to cause shit, haha)
Ashtray Heart will be the third single , released one week after The Never-Ending Why....however, both are NOT US singles. Ashtray Heart goes out to all of Europe except Norway and the UK which get The Never Ending Why Sept 14. Ashtray Heart goes out Sept 21. Soooo....there is a chance that the US could get Bright Lights as it says on FMQB and allaccess, but I can't find anything other than that to confirm.
So really, neither of you are probably wrong, I was just being a shite disturber!
Now I'm off to hunt down a video for the live version of a cover of Nik Kershaw's "Wouldn't It Be Good" that they apparently covered recently....one of my fave songs ever, I would love to hear a Placebo take on it.

In the U.S. it'd be their third single... "Bright Lights," scheduled for Sept. 1.
"Battle for the Sun" scraped before "For What It's Worth" came along.
I'm a big fan of Without You I'm Nothing and also Sleeping with Ghosts. Unfortunately I do not have the time to listen to every album by any band I remotely like which is why I only have one other Placebo album.

Just heard Bright Lights for the first time, my favorite song I've heard from the album so far. I haven't gotten around to the whole thing yet even though I have been a fan of the past few albums.
