KICK MY ASS :: An Essential Garbage sync listen (TONIGHT 8PM)

[jivafox]

I need to see them again. I think they're still touring with Blondie. I mean!

November!

 

[RJN]

you MUST know Why Do You Love Me!

maybe by '05 in the US their exposure was stone dead though?

I don't think I've ever heard any of their songs anywhere but by my own choice

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I need to see them again. I think they're still touring with Blondie. I mean!

I saw them a couple of years ago for Version 2.0 anniversary at Brixton. THEY WERE FUCKING AMAZING.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I haven't seen them since the 90s, but they were obviously FABULOUS.

 

[straightorbroken]

I was clearly in a coma 9 years ago. Another fab racket entering my life

 

[COB]

I really didn't give the later albums a chance, this is really very good.

 

[straightorbroken]

Is this a homage to Sunset Boulevard? Nevermind.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Not your Kind of People was much better than Bleed Like Me but the damage was beyond done at that point I guess..

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Shirley still looking immensely FUCKABLE in 2012.

 

[straightorbroken]

Saleem from Sabrina cameo.

 

[Jark]

Big Bright World is a perfectly FEEL GOOD TUNE. almost no dark undertones here, which is slightly unsettling tbh.

 

[jivafox]

Love Shirl's TOP KNOT

 

[Raining on Me]

I mean Big Bright World is quite NICE and all, really good in fact, but it feels (like a lot of stuff around then) somehow a bit less Garbage-esque and a teensy bit more faceless. But only a BIT, it's a good 'un still...

 

[COB]

Oh shit here we go

 

[jivafox]

#11 - PUSH IT

 

[Cerro de Casa]

*ALT GAY COMA*

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Ah PUSH IT and the HIGH ART VIDEO.

 

[straightorbroken]

They really did reload their cylinders to fire from. Absolutely ablaze with their former fury.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still


SPEAK TO ME SHIRLEY

 

[AGinAg (37)]

THIS IS THE NOISE THAT KEEPS ME AWAY!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

MAKE THE BEATS GO HARDER!

 

[straightorbroken]

Push it is an exclamation point and bookmark of 90s alternative music.

 

[jivafox]

THIS IS THE NOISE THAT KEEPS ME AWAKE

 

[Raining on Me]

Not your Kind of People was much better than Bleed Like Me but the damage was beyond done at that point I guess..

I struggle to rank their albums from Bleed Like Me onwards. All patchy, all with great moments..

 

[COB]

I think this is THE iconic Garbage single for me, if I absolutely had to pick just one.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Ugh SO X-FILES


This was nominated for all the MTV VMAs and I remember being so torn between them and MADGE for who I wanted to win

 

[jivafox]

This video is SO MTV2

 

[COB]

We'll stay up all night

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The video is so 90s VIDEO ART INSTALLATION.

 

[Raining on Me]

Push It sounded like being shoved into another dimension when I first heard it in 1998. They really were so polished and confident and on point then. Truly PEAK

God this is exceptional!

 

[Jark]

Stupid Girl and Push It share the crown SO FAR.

OBSESSED with the simultaneously shiny and filthy nature of this song and all its FURY. the distortion on her chorus vox - YES!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

MY HEAD EXPLODES AND MY BODY ACHES

*coma*

 

[Cerro de Casa]

This is the NOISE that KEEPS ME AWAKE
My HEAD explodes and my BODY AAAAAAAAAACHES

 

[Raining on Me]

It's the delicate "don't worry baby" bits and then how it just RUSHES and ROARS.

 

[straightorbroken]

Shirley must have loved luring in the teen boppers with When I Grow Up to terrify them with this.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I miss the '90s so much

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It's SUPER UNAPOLOGETIC and GLORIOUS

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh Vow.

I'm dead, reborn and dead again.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh FUCK Vow.

 

[jivafox]
