Oh c'mon now, admit it. You've done it. Whether it was behind closed doors or on youtube; when you were a teenager or 3 days ago; to a Beyonce or a Nirvana video; for fun or physical exercise (what?); the whole nine yards or just a particular gesture.I think that video enactment is an art, in the same way that playing air-guitar is. My next imaginary project will probably be a group of people t...

Shirley Manson is an oxymoron.Shirley Manson is not an attractive woman.Shirley Manson is incredibly sexy.I can remember seeing Garbage's "Stupid Girl" video for the first time and being very conflicted. Between the huge forehead, the down syndrome eyes, and they pasty white skin, there's no way that I should be attracted to this woman. But, lord help me if I wouldn't fuck her to the point it...

When I first got your album Garbage, I got sucked into your world of pink feathers, charming vices, bitter revenge stories and one of the most sensual female voices I had heard. I grew up emotionally with that album (I was 14-15 years old at the time), I can't even begin to explain its importance to me.Then came Version 2.0. Your dark stories got a tad lighter, but were also enriched with aggre...

Yo, Britt! Your woman and my woman mash it up brilliantly:And my woman has her way with a sex doll (something I've read about but never seen):

We like songs for various reasons.Could be the music,could be the lyrics,could be the singer.Or,on a more abstract base, it could be whether we see a part of ourselves in them or not.Is there any song,that reminds you of you?That best describes you,that you hear it & go:Sh*t,that's me.Mine is this,Garbage-Why do you love meI'm no Barbie dollI'm not your baby girlI've done ugly thingsAnd I have ...

So, yeah, I'm completely nuts for this video game Rock Band. I mean...come on...it's a video game where you get to be a rock star. What's not to love about that. Add to that, it's introduced me to a TON of new music. I mean, I really have an appreciation of rock music that just wasn't there before. I knew I was lost when I found myself walking to thy gym, holding my daughter's hand singing...

Last night there were thunderstorms in So Cal and while it rained I listened to this classic Massive Attack remix of Garbage's Milk. There was something about how the rain fell and how the remix of strings only merged beautifully sending with a music flashback to a time when I lived in New Orleans. I remember driving around the city with my windows rolled down cranking up another one of my Mass...

Three semi-anonymous backroom boys fronted by a forgotten foot soldier from Edinburgh also-rans Goodbye Mr Mackenzie. On paper, they might not have been the most obvious dream ticket, but 12 million album sales and a half-decent Bond theme later Garbage were pretty big news. This is industrial grunge with a shiny pop sheen, proffered by festival favourites and stadium act support slot mainstays...

Last we heard from Garbage, in the fall of 2005, the group was going on an indefinite hiatus.Fortunately for fans, that break is not turning out like, say, Blink-182's "hiatus."We're recording a couple new songs at the end of February," drummer Butch Vig revealed recently. "I think everyone's excited about getting back in a room and playing some music together."The new tunes will be included on...

The Terminator - Sarah Connor Chronicles is one of very few shows that gets DVR'd in my world. I am a sucker for good sci fi. Recent obsessions include Firefly and Battlestar Galactica.And this show features actors from both, as well as one of my absolute all time favorite shows, Deadwood.Suffice it to say, this show makes me happy after a long hard day at the grind.And this season, a new trea...

Honestly I was never the biggest fan of the Terminator films, probably because Sci-fi doesn't do it for me. Nope haven't seen one minute of the Sarah Connor Chronicles either...except these four minutes with Shirley Manson from Garbage. Is it the red hair? The Accent? Oh I'm just smitten. I just a wee bit worried bout that index finger...

While I was laying around in a roid-induced insomniac stupor a few weeks ago, I came to the conclusion that there are some music videos I absolutely MUST own before I jump on a plane and move overseas, where YouTube has some kind of weird copyright laws. Who follows laws these days, really?On the short list was Portishead's Roseland Live, the Director's Label Series Box Sets (this links to one,...
