Tallin, Estonia

Garbage has just canceled their first concert ever. Drove fourteen hours through the tundra with a frozen toilet from St. Petersburg, stopping every few miles to hand over some cash to the local police blackmailers, and still we got here and realized all of our sound, lights, instruments, and crew weren't with us. They were still being held by the Russian border oafs, who seemingly hadn't been paid off enough by the people we had hired to pay them off. Or something. Any case, we feel like creeps for letting down the fans who wanted to see us tonight, and we're going to make it up to them somehow. We hope they understand that there was nothing we could do to change things.This time.
