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?

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

I've not been to Canal Street for ages, I remember the first few Pride events consisted of some male go go dancers in hot pants, dancing on the back of a low loader as it drove down the street, I couldn't afford the ticket for it today
