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

[Raining on Me]

The ending of that reminds me of that Real Housewife gif people keep posting

 

[straightorbroken]

Track 1 of the holiday cassette tape I made myself in 1999.

 

[COB]

I can't use what I can't abuse is SUCH a fabulous opening gambit.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I NEARLY DIED!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

BREAK YOUR SOUL APART

 

[straightorbroken]

My soul is in smithereens I'll never recover with this song. It really is so utterly utterly.

 

[jivafox]

I came to shut you up, I came to drag you down
I came around to tear your little world apart and break your soul apart

 

[COB]

You crucified me but I'm back in your BED
Like JESUS CHRIST coming back from the dead

Just fuck me up!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

To think there are discussions about Mariah while THIS IS HAPPENING!

 

[straightorbroken]

Shirley's mad for it dancing is certainly something.

 

[jivafox]

Her coat

 

[AGinAg (37)]

She's still a bit HARD GLASWEGIAN here isn't she?

 

[straightorbroken]

These pretty bits before it all pounces on you again is so casually breathtaking.

 

[Raining on Me]

I think Vow might just be the perfect song. The distortion, the MELODY, the lyrics killing everyone stone dead!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

This was their first single and video wasn't it? I think it only just went or just missed the top 40

 

[straightorbroken]

This fade out, with the jagged guitars, really does leave you for dead

 

[COB]

She's still a bit HARD GLASWEGIAN here isn't she?

Sadly we can't claim her Plenty of ROUGH ENDS in Edinburgh though!

 

[straightorbroken]

It's just so cold and icy

 

[jivafox]

#13 - MILK (SIREN MIX)

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This was their first single and video wasn't it? I think it only just went or just missed the top 40

No.138 in the UK!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Sadly we can't claim her Plenty of ROUGH ENDS in Edinburgh though!

Oh!

 

[straightorbroken]

Milk is still #1 on the hit parade, right?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The best mix of Milk is the super creepy Tricky version.

 

[Raining on Me]

Fuck their song endings are nearly always SO GOOD and take it it ever slightly in a different direction. New elements in each track right to the end

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Now this is what I would call a sultry gem.

 

[COB]

I'm not sure I know this mix, it's even DREAMIER than the normal one

 

[straightorbroken]

That smile when she sings "I'd be love and sweetness" actually screaming

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I think Milk is one of my absolute favourites. It always was. It breaks me. She looks STUNNING in the video.

I've just remembered I have the first album official VHS somewhere!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I'm not sure I know this mix, it's even DREAMIER than the normal one

This was the official single version if I'm not mistaken...

 

[straightorbroken]

It's just a bit embarrassing for human beings who aren't Shriley Manson right now isn't it?

 

[jivafox]

I'M WAITING I'M WAITING FOR YOU...

I wonder if that's what made them decide to give them the Bond theme?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I had THIS on 7" in RUBBER PACKING! It's BEAUTIFUL!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

That instrumental / humming interlude. SLAY ME QUEEN

 

[COB]

That instrumental / humming interlude. SLAY ME QUEEN

Enya taking notes.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I'm shaking and crying in the corner right now. Violently.

 

[straightorbroken]

I wonder what the BTS with Pam was like.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I lie Subhuman came in the RUBBER PACK

Milk came with the HOLOGRAM.

 

[jivafox]

#14 - YOU LOOK SO FINE

 

[Raining on Me]

This as an album closer after everything that came before

I enjoy most of the remixes and this one is proper rousing, but I still default to the more bare bones regular version. Ghostly gorgeousness either way you look at it though

 

[straightorbroken]

I always thought of this as a sort of sequel to Milk, which doesn't make sense, but whatever works for 15 year old me.
