A musical Observation
I've been working on this one for a few weeks, but I've got it now.
So I've been listening to a lot of Garbage, after Hannah F. got me back into them when I visited her in Vienna.
Ready?
Garbage is as if Blondie got a contract writing songs, with some revision for sexual suggestiveness by Madonna, for Depeche Mode to perform, and Chrissie Hynde took over the vocals.
Mind you, I'm sure this synthesis is much less striking live, when one's senses must contend with the powerful presence of Her Badass Scottish Waifish Hotness, Ms. Shirley Manson.
Also mind you, this analogy applies to Beautifulgarbage and Version 2.0, but I'm leery of applying it to the more guitar-heavy first album (Garbage).
Anyway, discuss.
