Watched the first two episodes of "Homeland" recently...I don't consider her pretty. There's something about her face that's so wounded and she's very good at playing characters barely holding it together. Maybe she's more visually appealing in real life...

But no, this is the lead singer for Garbage, Shirley Manson.  

Band name fits perfect > 1

Fits in well with the film and Shakespeare's play, though. Obsessive, all-consuming love is the central theme of the play, and of course the lovers do literally die for each other.

don't touch me there

Good groove, but the lyrics creep me out!

This is a great album, all around.

Also - this song was used in an episode of "La Femme Nikita" - that's where I first heard Garbage. It was the perfect pairing of music with a suspenseful scene. I urge anyone who hasn't yet obtained the five seasons of "La Femme Nikita" to do so, if only for the music. Lots of GOOOOOD stuff from Canada. And no, I don't live in Canada, but I would, if I could.

If I did, I don't remember it. (I would never use a chainsaw - the noise freaks me out.)  I HAVE joked about cutting off my own head, but we both know it was metaphorical.  So - point taken.

Still - thank you for the jolt back into reality. I worry about anyone who threatens to do bodily harm. Better to be worried than totally uncaring.  Sorry - going through a lot right now - FIV-positive cats, other cats who are sick, feral cats invading the neighborhood, total strangers hacking away at our trees because they're growing over power lines... I really hate these invasions of the world I did not invite into my realm.

I think I shall take the next three days off.  If I haven't posted a snarky comment by the 24th, rally up the Mounties (but only the cute ones, okay?)

I once saw Claire Danes while I was in JFK waiting for my plane—circa the time she did this movie—she was so pretty, in an innocent kind of way ...

Is this Poe singing?

RIP.  Unless you're actually threatening to commit suicide over a song. Either way, the world doesn't revolve around you.  I hope you were just making a point and not planning to open a vein (um, if you were, don't slice across your wrist - go along the vein. It won't close up so you can bleed out without that stupid "self-mend" feature that bodies have.) And please don't die because of a song. There are far better and more noble things to die for. I can't think of them right now, but while you're in that stage of doubt, perhaps you'll rethink the whole "dying" thing.

Unless you're sitting in a bare room with a bomb duct-taped to your chest, and the terrorist is holding the detonator, and if Garbage plays again, you're dust. Should someone call the bomb-squad in whatever city you are?

Comments about dying are NOT a good idea, considering the state of high-alert everywhere lately. I hope that you're still alive and well next time this song comes into rotation. Please post, even if it's only to say you're still alive.

No, I"m not kidding.

Not feeling this one. Sentiment is good, but music is bringing me down.

I'm going to die if you play this again

Its good for my ears. It is even better if I don't have to endure Miss Tuma's inane comments littering the board. . .

Ooo - yet another "La Femme Nikita" classic... This was the song playing while Nikita was scoping out a lavish wedding at which a hit man was scheduled to kill the groom.  She had a clear shot of the hit man, but while she watched the guy take aim, in another place Section One was checking a possible location for a thing called "The Book" which had top-secret information.  If "The Book" was in the vault, Nikita had permission to take out the hit man before he completed his contract.  Alas, "The Book" wasn't there, so Nikita had to stand down and let the hit man kill the groom.  That show was SO ahead of its time... as was the music used throughout...

hearing a dark depeche-modish undercurrent, as if this were one of theirs being covered by garbage

Sure is not Romeotuma's sound track... is not good for the ears..

Garbage, great band.  Every CD is very good.

reminds me of the old goth clubs, clove cigarettes, and the taste of cheap red wine...
mmmm....  :)

This is by far my favorite Garbage song. Makes me think naughty thoughts.

I keep wanting to sing the line "it would have been better if we'd slept together"...sounds similar.   

I miss having a crush - it's a nice state
Love this song and liked the movie

Love the tasty walking bass in this!
