I know I bought that album like 2 months ago. It came in the mail the day my mom was in that accident.
“Dogs in a Cage” when I first heard I don’t really know how to describe it. It just has so much raw energy. I like the use of xylophone in this song
“Suffocate Me” of course this is the song that eventually lead to the formation for Garbage. Seriously listen to this song. The video is awesome too. You should watch it.
“You Can Love Her” I really don’t have much to say about this song. I like it, but I don’t really find anything really special about it.
“King of the World” Shirley sounds a little like Deborah Harry in this song. It sort of reminds me of the Blondie song “Maria” of course the Angelfish song predates it. This one of my favorites.
“Sleep With Me” is a great song.
“Heartbreak to Hate” this one is a fan favorite. I really like it a lot too. It’s my 3 rd favorite song off the album. This is my favorite part “Operator, the lines are dead Ringmaster, the lions are fed Your Honor, you know I was framed Surrounded in this stupid game”.
“The Sun Won’t Shine” I don’t know I really don’t have anything to say about this song.
“Mummy Can’t Drive” This has to be my favorite song off the album.
“Tomorrow Forever” a great break up song. “And all your drooling lapdogs can dig For another bone”. I just love this lyric.
“The End” I don’t know this was the only song I didn’t like on the album. It has yodeling in it. I think that is not really suitable to Shirley’s voice. She’s an incredible singer, but there are just some vocal stylings she can’t pull off. Like when she sang “Can‘t Cry These Tears”.
The cover art is good. It has a nice picture of Shirley wearing a button up shirt, tie and jacket. I think her eyes are closed in the picture, but I’m not sure. In the liner notes there is a picture of her, but it’s just her eyes and nose. It hardly looks like her. Of course I was listing to Angelfish as I was writing this to get in the mood.

3 Active Fandoms and a Birthday
The Darklings are all a buzz because Shirley posted a demo of one of her “noir” songs on her facebook profile. It didn’t really matter because I was planning on leaving her an inane comment if she posted something or not.
I can’t explain why but the song sort of reminds me of the Gwen song “Early Winter”. I don’t want anybody hating on me for saying that or thinking I’m trying to compare Gwen’s solo stuff to Shirley‘s. The song reminds me a little of “Cup of Coffee” too. Well at least she didn’t make a song like “Buttons”. I don’t think she would write a song like that. It’s not her style. I don’t see how this song is “noir”. There are Garbage songs more noir than that. I think it was just an excuse to drop her from the label.
I thought it was funny when Shirley used the word “noirling” would the correct term be “noirette“? If the word was literally translated into French. I’m not going to really criticize the word “noirling” since she coined it.
It was my mom’s birthday yesterday. Too bad my mom isn’t a darkling. She would’ve eaten that up if she was.
You know my mom shares a birthday (day and month) with Lady Gaga and Chester from Linkin Park. I already knew she shares one with Pat Riley. She use to share one with Fred Rogers well until he died. Here’s a silly idea I had. To throw a celebrity birthday party. Depending on your birthday the theme of your party would be the celebrities that share it with you. For example my mom’s party would have Lady Gaga and Linkin Park songs playing. You could show episodes of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, Spike Lee movies, and decorate with Lakers, Heat, Knicks and Rockets things. That’d be a pretty funky party. :/
You know what sucks 3 of my fandoms are currently active and I’m having a hard time keeping up. They are; Shirley Manson, John Cena, and No Doubt. @o@
I haven’t decided if I’m going to see his movie. The Marine was a real disappointment. I didn’t expect much from him. He’s not really an actor. He was very funny on his appearance on Kimmel. I thought it was funny when Kimmel told Cena to call his fans “Cena-citizens” LOL! :P

Life Can be so Cruel, Don’t it Astound You?
I was going to go with a different title, but I think this one is good.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’ve been feeling so emotional lately. I got in trouble because I was going to buy a used doll. So had had to cancel my order for it. It’s ok I was just going to customize it anyway. I still haven’t customized the dolls my cousin gave me like last year. I was suppose to make clothes for them. I bought the material and everything. I’m suppose to make a custom Darcy doll. She’s a character from the Winx Club. They never made a doll of her that was sold in the US. They did make one that was sold in Italy. (The country Winx Club is from)
My mom got in a car accident, but it was the other person’s fault. She got hit and run. She’s ok and all. She got hit from behind. Which made a chain reaction. It involved 4 cars. Everybody else drove off. My mom is a good driver she’s never gotten a ticket, and has been in a few accidents including this one. My dad is a really bad driver he has a lot of tickets and stuff. I’m a horrible driver, and actually make my dad look good. I use to ride the curb. It’s things like this that make me terrified of learning how to drive, but I really need to and want to. Plus if I’m a bad driver and a lot of other people are it will just cover up my bad driving.
On a positive note my CDs arrived today. I’m listening to Angelfish right now. I will write a review of each CD. You know Angelfish isn’t bad. Shirley’s voice is so distinctive. I can’t stop listening to “Suffocate Me”.
