Your “What A Load Of Garbage” Friday Evening Open Thread

I love music.  All types of music.  I sometimes get made fun of for it for what I have come to call my “eclectic” tastes in music.

Most other people just say my taste in music sucks sometimes.  And maybe that’s true.  Meh.

I especially admire good drummers.  I could watch a good drummer for hours, and sometimes even barely hear the rest of the music.

Back during the holidays, the girl formerly known as tWLS and I went to a holiday concert.  Her brother plays bass for the band who was performing, which is the only reason we went to begin with.  But the drummer was really good.  I was supposed to be there with her, for her, and to also be taking pictures of her brother and the rest of the family which was there in attendance.  Which I did.

But for a little while, I realized I was mesmerized by this drummer.  He was obviously very good, but due to the nature of the concert and the types of songs being played (Christmas Carols mostly) he was bored off his ass.  I had to giggle a little bit and then I thought….DUDE JUST GO INTO A BADASS DRUM SOLO AND FUCK ‘EM!!!!

He didn’t.

I am also a drummer, but not a very good one.  And particularly worse now because of nerve damage in my left arm and hand.  But I still sit behind my drum kit now and again just for the fun of it.  But I can’t do it very well or for very long these days.

Anywhoooooo….

One of my favourite drummers is Butch Vig.  He’s the drummer for Garbage.  They also happen to be one of my favourite bands overall, so that works out well.

Even now in his 60s, he’s a very good drummer.  But he’s more than that.  He’s actually also one of the best and most respected record producers of our era, producing acts such as Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins, among others.

But regarding this post….?  The problem is that I don’t find Butch Vig attractive in “that way” (no offense Butch).  And this IS Sexy Friday after all soooooo….

It’s SHIRLEY MANSON WEEK   Evahbodeh!!!!!!!

52 years old now and still hot as hell.  The pink hair is a nice touch as well.

Hubba hubba.

And look at the bright side….at least it isn’t CHARLES or MARILYN!!!!!!

(weird fuckers)
