Garbage’s Shirley Manson: ‘The music industry has imploded’
Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson has labelled the music industry a «dinosaur».
The singer believes the system has fallen apart because it’s failed to keep up with how young people consume music. She told Metro: «It’s a shell of what it once was and the industry hasn’t got it’s head around the fact a lot of young people don’t listen to the radio or buy records – the industry has been slow to adapt and has become a dinosaur.» Read more »
With Garbage on a hiatus of undetermined length, frontwoman Shirley Manson has begun work on her first solo album.
Shirley Manson is a rock goddess, a grunge icon, and a one-time TV Terminator vixen. Now the 45-year-old singer is back with Garbage for their first new album in seven years. Ellen Carpenter interviewed Manson while on the road with the band in Austin, Texas.
If we had to pick who would win in a fight — rock star Shirley Manson or pop diva Jennifer Lopez — we might have gone with the angst-filled red head.
Foundation, a charity founded by Dangerbird Records co-founder Jeff Castelaz and his wife Jo Ann Thrailkill, whose son Pablo is currently fighting a rare form of cancer, will have a guest MC.
Shirley Manson is a Calico cat with beautiful orange, black, and white markings. This unique girl is easy to spot because of her bobtail. She is also a polydactyl, which means she has extra toes, which just means that there is more of her to love!
Oh my God, I am shaking in my shoes. Anyway. Blondie put it this way once: «Dreaming is free.» For many of us, myself included, Blondie were the dream. Yet if anyone had told me 15 years ago, when I was unemployed and desperately frustrated in Edinburg, Scotland, that I’d be up on a podium, in New York City, in preparation to induct Blondie into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I’d have peed myself laughing, and told them to f*ck right off.
Shirley Manson of Garbage went on a Twitter rant at fans last night after a gig in Koln, Germany.
Garbage singer Shirley Manson hit up Twitter following her band’s gig last night (Nov. 26) in Koln, Germany, to complain about the audience’s “cold” reaction to the show — and in the process started a Twitter war with some readers who began berating Manson for her complaints.“Koln you were so strangely subdued!” Manson wrote in her initial Twitter post. “Sold out show but so cold? Funny. I know you love us but why couldn’t you show it? We still love you. Sx.”
Don’t call Garbage paranoid. A «drunk» Shirley Manson imposter hacked the band’s official Twitter account Wednesday morning, and sent out hundreds of inappropriate tweets — including spam, phishing links, and calls for «really attractive girls» to post pictures of themselves — to the band’s 55,886 followers.
