Garbage has announced a U.S. tour in support of the recently announced 20th anniversary edition of their legendary second album Version 2.0. The tour, which kicks off on September 29th in Seattle, Wash. and wraps on October 27th in Brooklyn, N.Y., will see them perform the classic album in full, as well as a number of B-sides from the reissue. Tickets will…
Garbage’s new album Strange Little Birds isn’t due until June, but the band recently shared the first single from their new sessions: the dark and soul-baring rocker, “Empty.” Long known for their post-industrial, tricked-out rhythms and electronic-pop melodies, the band’s new material is set to have the back-to-basics feel found on their self-titled debut 20 years ago. The…
Ever since seeing The Distillers live in 2002 on No Doubt’s Rock Steady tour, I’ve been a die hard Brody Dalle fan. No matter what the project, Dalle has proven to be a force to be reckoned with. After The Distillers disbanded…well, I was sad and moped a lot. But then came Spinnerette – the…
It’s no surprise that I think Garbage is one of the best rock bands in recent music history. (No, really. We should all be bowing down to their excellence on a daily basis.) Gushing aside, it’s important that great bands be able to pull off great covers – and Garbage has accomplished this with new…
Music Monday was skipped this week, mostly because I was only listening to Garbage on repeat in order to prep for their live show yesterday, March 20, at the Wellmont Theater. It was my fourth Garbage outing and needless to say, it was pretty fucking amazing. So I skipped the post Monday, only to inevitably…
Things that are facts in this very universe: 1) Garbage is better than whatever you are listening to at this moment. 2) Garbage is BACK (!!) 3) …with this new single and video called “Blood for Poppies.” 4) Their new album is out in May and it’s called “Not Your Kind of People.” 5) You…
Dammit! How can I not buy this!? I’m a Rock Band-er, and having 2 full-band games is just too excessive. A part of me might die inside from not owning this though. Check out the trailer. Video Game Shirley looks just as badass as regular Shirley. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ixtUByyqxw]
After watching Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles this week, (click here and here) I reached an astounding realization: I MISS GARBAGE. Although I’m glad Shirley told her label to shove it when they shelved her solo record (“I’m not interested in getting up in a short skirt and singing a pop song.”), I must admit:…
Before the TV season started, I posted a 25+ list of shows I’d be keeping tabs with throughout the course of the season. May this be the very first ammendment to that original list. I find my patience dwindling, and general happy mind becoming numb with boredom and I am NOT pleased. Here are a…
Fox has finally ordered the remaining episodes that will complete the second season of “Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles.” This = good. The show definitely has potential. Is it currently living up to that potential? Maybe not. But with the Catherine Weaver (Shirley Manson) sub-plot unraveling and John’s relationship with Sarah on the rocks, I…
