Re: Shirley Manson is a goddess.

From 2005:

DEVORE, California — With Garbage about to take an extended break, perhaps singer Shirley Manson could spend her free time as a rock critic. She certainly has the passion and the clever descriptions required for the job.

"The Arcade Fire today were so unbelievable I wanted to cry," Manson said backstage at KROQ-FM's Inland Invasion on Saturday (see "Beck Bashes, Barker Mashes, Shirley Clashes, Arcade Fire Smash At KROQ Fest"). "It's just like a whole band of 'Napoleon Dynamite' characters."

Wow, well said.

Anyway, whether formally or not (she is quite the blogger, after all), look for Manson to do some more leisurely writing this fall, with the emphasis on leisurely.

"I'm burnt, I'm done, I'm toast," she said after being asked about Garbage's recent decision to cancel their fall European tour. "I need to get home and cook some food and work out. And I need to get my life under control. I just feel like it's completely out there and it's just too much."

Garbage have been touring the world, including far-out places like Serbia, Slovakia and Hungary, since March; they have two weeks left in Australia. After that, there will be no more touring behind Bleed Like Me, an album that took several years and a band breakup to get made (see "Garbage Breakup Ends With New LP — If They Did Actually Break Up").

"This is our 10th anniversary, and everyone needs a break from one another," Manson said. "I don't know what I'm going to do, to be honest. The hiatus may last two weeks, it may last two years. We really don't know. We've come to a point where we feel really good about where we're at. We've had an amazing run with this record, and we feel that it's a good time to take some time apart."

Although Manson chose not to be involved in the decisions regarding singles ("That's the record company's sweat," she said), there are talks of releasing more songs from Bleed, most likely "It's All Over but the Crying" and/or "Run Baby Run."

"It's about encouraging myself and through that encouraging others just to sort of engineer your own life, engineer your own happiness," she said of the latter. "I think for a long time I was under the illusion that life was like a storybook. I think particularly when you're a female, you're imbued with all these ideas you know from 'Cinderella' to 'Sleeping Beauty,' and you've got this idea that somebody's gonna come along and fix your life. And I sort of came to the realization that actually nobody's gonna fix your life for you, you have to do it yourself. And it's about just making an effort to make your life good. If it sucks, do something about it."

Like, for instance, taking a break.

I twittered Shirley Manson today and asked how many new songs the band had written. She twittered back 'only three songs'.
I'm waiting, I'm waiting.....
 
Re: Shirley Manson is a goddess.

I lucked out into meeting her several years back. Very chatty, very personable, very fun.

Lucky you!!! I've got to find a way to go see her when they go on tour again....can anyone help me??? I have to have front row!
 
Re: Shirley Manson is a goddess.

It took me years, but I finally realized that front row wasn't the place to be. That seems to be the domain of:

* industry people who basically want to brag that they're in the front row
* people who want to record the whole show on their cellphone
* the random yellers, who like yelling out the name of somebody in the band, or some song that they think they'll play if they yell it enough

There ARE hardcore fans who manage to get up front and enjoy the show, but they seem to be in the minority now. Now I try to pick a spot further away, hopefully higher up, so I can get a good view of the entire stage and everyone on it.

How do you get to meet her? Don't bother with front row. I mean, if you want to see the show from there, great, but it's not like she'll take time out from singing to chat with you. Instead, find out if there's a "meet and greet", where the band meets wit a small group of fans either before or after their set. Many bands do these, and I think Garbage has done one each time I've seen them (although I haven't been to them all). Check with the venue, the promoter, and (if there's a radio station presenting the show) the radio station.

Thanks, Lex! Good ideas. I did see ZZTop from the front row back in '86 I think it was. But I was friends with the guy who managed all the concessions.

Manson Confirms Garbage Return


SHIRLEY MANSON has confirmed she has reunited GARBAGE to work on the band's first new album in five years.

The rocker swapped music for acting in 2008 after landing a role in U.S. TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

She recently hinted at a return to her roots by admitting she missed singing, and now she has thrilled fans by revealing a Garbage record is in the works.

Manson tells the Herald Scotland, "I'm working on a record right now with the band. We've recorded quite a lot but it's difficult to quantify. It's the first one in a long time. I took about five years off. I'd like to do some touring next year."

The group's last studio album, Bleed Like Me, was released in 2005, while a greatest hits compilation, Absolute Garbage, came out in 2007.

Re: Shirley Manson is a goddess.

Hey, any of you Shirley Manson fans add Shirley on Twitter:

http://twitter.com/shirley_manson1

If any of you already do, message me with your Twitter handle and we can add each other.

Her latest pic:

By the way, just a warning, that twitter isn't Shirley! She has no Twitter or any other page except from her Facebook.

I learned of this from a trusted and well placed source :)
 
Re: Shirley Manson is a goddess.

Hmmm....You could be right. But I don't believe anyone can be that good an impersonator. I think her Twitter is real.

I've spoken to 'her' personally through Twitter and even I could tell it wasn't her, I wanted to confirm it before I posted here though.

If you compare her grammar etc from Twitter to her official Facebook, you see obvious differences and being the poet and lyricist that she is, I find it hard to imagine she'd quote her own lyrics or swear so much on Twitter :)

Plus the fact that if she has gone out her way to verify her Facebook, why hasn't she done so with her Twitter? :-)
 
Re: Shirley Manson is a goddess.

Got any idea why someone would do that? What motive would they have? I believe I have seen some of her twitters duplicated on facebook. Am I looking at a fake facebook account also?
 
Re: Shirley Manson is a goddess.

Have you seen the amount of fake pages on Bebo, Myspace, Twitter, Facebook and the like of people pretending to be the rich and famous? I get that some people just want to show admiration for their favourite celebs but there are some crazies out there who genuinly do this kind of thing to fuck with people.

The following link is her official Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Shirley-Manson/27037696386

For instance a quick search for Shirley on Twitter reveals a hell of a lot of fake pages including Shirley_Manson1 :http://twitter.com/#!/who_to_follow/search/shirley manson

Also out of interest:

Jackson Rathbone fakes - http://twitter.com/#!/who_to_follow/search/jackson rathbone

I could list a number of fake celeb pages but it would take ages. I personally dislike people pretending to be celebs online, they should get a life ;)
