Automatic Systematic Habit by Garbage

I missed this last week on Fallon. The band sounds tight, although it’s hard for Shirley Manson to come off vamp-ish while wearing what looks like my grandmother’s upholstery. Three months ‘til the Metro show …

(The Late Night Tumblr had this up earlier, but I absolutely loathe the NBC.com player.)

See you in August, Shirls.

Blood For Poppies by Garbage

Once again, listen to the new Garbage album. It’s good.

Shirley Manson is a much more talented Terminator than the Arnold T-101.

(Thanks to Pleaves for the actual copy.)

Need some new tunes to stream? Here’s what’s currently in rotation on my PC today:

• Inspector Owl by Inspector Owl (album)
• Not Your Kind of People by Garbage (album)
• Five Seconds by Twin Shadow (single)
• Night and Day by Hot Chip (single)

I’m only a handful of songs into the new Garbage, but I’m definitely enjoying what I’ve heard so far. Great hooks.
