Hope this is allowed here?
Here’s a really cool article in The Guardian today on Shirley Manson from the band Garbage (my favourite band, and Shirl is an absolute goddess!)
She talks about being a music icon, misogyny and hip replacements… and they have a new album out!!
I’ve always loved her no bullshit down to earth approach to life 🤘
Also, it’s really weird, but nice having an icon from my youth talking about things like hip replacements, I still think of her (and myself) as being in our 20’s and indestructible, when we’re now both older, peri and post menopausal, and still rocking out
I’m hoping they tour, I missed the last one
Anyone else her love Shirley and Garbage? Or PJ Harvey, Bjork, Tori?
Do you ever wish there were a few more Angelfish albums?
And what’s your favourite track most people wouldn’t know?
Suffocate Me, and Heartbreak to Hate are my standouts!
I read a while ago that Shirley did a solo album while on hiatus from Garbage. If I remember correctly the record label wanted to turn into a new Annie Lennox, which she objected to, and instead she served up an (unreleased) record of neo goth darkness… I would sell a kidney to have a copy of that
Ooooh hope you lemme listen if you find it!
