Cool. Yeah I get the impression that the Garbage crew are nice, although I have never met them. They just radiate that kind of energy, or something like that :P. I finally got see Garbage perform last year. It was fantastic, except for the fact that they played "Cherry Lips", which is one of the songs I dislike the most on BeautifulGarbage. I didn't like that album in general, but their were a few good tracks on there I would have liked hearing live (eg. Parade, Cup of Cofee, Breaking up the Girl, So like A Rose). If I am remember correctly, they also did not play my favorite song off of Bleed Like Me, "Run, Baby, Run". oh well. It was a fantastic show.

Now since Billy is apparently working with Shirley Manson on her solo record, she is a possibility for an opener. The caveat is that it would require her solo record to not come completely out of left field. It's good not to repeat Garbage, but it's also not good if she strays to far into the territory explored some of my least favorite songs on BeautifulGarbage .
