[Trash-talk] Let's Not Hold Back...

[Susan Senn]

All right so come on my trashy people let's go through every title and say 
what the title makes us think about what's to come.  It'll be fun, I 
promise.

Hands On A Hard Body - I'm not the biggest fan of this title, either.  It 
does have a Shirley feel to it, but it has kind of that 
Shirley-as-she's-really-been-into-hip-hop kind of feel to it.  It's a little 
high on the cheese factor.I prefer the simpler titles like Version 
2.0...that was a great title.

SONGS:

Be my Bad Boyfriend - This one sounds kind of cheesy too.  I get the feeling 
this might be the duet, something I'm also not really looking forward to.  
It makes me think of something I'd hear in a shitty bar in the Midwest.

Run - Nice and simple.  It seems like it could be the more rock song on the 
album.

Why don't you come over - I like this one because it seems cheeky and sexy, 
that's the Garbage I love.  I could see this one having more flowing 
melodies.  I would hope it would be flowing over a nice crunchy guitar riff, 
though.

Guilty - This one's ambiguous, it could either be one the self-defeating G 
tracks or one of the harder anger driven ones...either way I have high 
hopes.

It's all over but the Crying. - This one brings to mind Cup of Coffee to me. 
  Maybe a ballad.

Sex is not the Enemy - This one should be fun, I have hopes for something 
like Sleep Together, but I think that's just because it has sex in the 
title.

Hanging with the Bitches - I fear this one as well for the same reason as Be 
my Bad Boyfriend.  It seems like it has kind of a Winger feeling to it.  On 
the other hand I have this feeling that this is Nala's favorite.

Why don't you love Me. - This one sounds like it's also going to be slower 
and desperate, kind of like YLSF or SLAR (So Like A Rose, I don't think 
we've used that one yet.)

Calling All Girls - This one makes me think of Blondie, it does sound fun.  
It sounds dancey.

HoneyBee - This one makes me think of Can't Seem To Make You Mine; the way 
Shirl's vocals were super chorus-ey with a lot of effects on it, all coated 
in sound.  yeah.

Bleed Like Me - I have high hopes for this one as well.  I miss my dark 
Garbage, not that I mind their more upbeat less dark songs like Parade,  but 
I guess there's still part of me longing for the stuff I got into them for 
back when I was 12.

Right Between the Eyes - I don't really know what I think of this one.Seems 
like a more spite driven song, maybe a faster paced song.

Space Can come Through Anyone - This one makes me think of the bridge in 
Begging Bone where Shirl's vocals are double tracked but the vocals have 
slightly different timings and also that bit in Use Me where the guitar sort 
of trickles up. I really like both of those so I think this one will be 
good.

Nobody Can Win - This one seems like the good old 
everyone's-basically-fucked-anyway-so-why-bother type of song.  I actually 
like those, because when you have a shitty ot's nice to come home and put on 
a track that shows you someone else feels the same way.

There you have it.  Now someone else go.
