Placebo

If, for some strange reason, you figured dating Brian Molko would be straightforward, listening to "Because I Want You" should change your mind: it's artfully packed with more mixed messages than a ladyboy bar in old Bangkok. Ladytron's club remix is a triumph, elegantly disgorging the song's true soul. As for Bloc Party's Russell Lissack's effort, repeated listens merely compound the confusion.
