The Lady Of The Week

You know what Shirley? We really do love you too.

Back when I was 14, I used to dance around to the self-titled debut and listen to it obsessively with my friends. I had a stunning poster in my room right next my bed.

Version 2.0 came out and I was in heaven again. I wanted to be a wolf in sheep's clothing just for you.

Beautifulgarbage came out and the world dismissed you, but not me.

The 9:30 Club show back in 2002 was a religious experience for me. Shirley, you sang, "Cherry Lips" and "Push It" directly to me (I was front row center) and I shivered. You even sang "You Look So Fine" per my request.

I've seen Garbage many many times live and I am still sort of heartbroken at the news that they are probably throwing in the towel.

Here's a fantastic shot from their last tour (ever?), from the Hammerstein Ballroom show which was, of course, spectacular.

And the accompanying setlist.
