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?
I was into clubbing music at that time so only periferally aware of her, but I did enjoy reading that article.
In the 90s I lived in Madchester, for the peak of Oasis, so I think that may have swayed my tastes!
I remember Madchester and clubbing *in *Manchester too! Sankeys Soap, dingy popup clubs in basements, the walls coated in sweat
I was on the fence with Oasis at the time, but appreciate them now the hype has died down, I really like Noel Gallagers High Flying Birds tho (Noel is the more talented of the two, and less of an arsehole)
Somewhere I still have a couple of fliers for club nights from those days!
I used to go to Jilly’s on Thursday nights to get hammered for cheap (I didn’t have a healthy relationship with such things back then), but spent most of my time on Canal St.
Oasis was always like fingernails down a blackboard to me, and still kinda is … I’m glad they were never really popular where I live now
