Thanx Bill! Loved this track from when it first came out - powerful performance, tight production and a such a great contradictory experience!

On the RP IPad ap you pretty well need to strain your eyes to read blue font because the background for comments is black as opposed to the white you get on the explorer web browser.

I have to give a nod to the phrase "precocious ejaculation" you will find below if you can follow it long enough.

The alternative rock & electronic band Garbage ended their hiatus in 2007 and began work on their fifth studio album in October 2010, "Not Your Kind of People" was released on May 14, 2012 via the band's own independent label, Stunvolume Records.

This is an example for many artists, to they do not find themselves hostages, and manipulated by the publishers, voracious easy profits, which relegates, and often ignore of artistic quality, and seek to impose on radio stations what should and should not be displayed on airplay (through sponsorship), and thus manipulate and guide the public taste.

The band created in 1993 are: Scottish singer Shirley Manson (vocals, guitar), 45 years old, excelent performer on stage, with an impressive physical appearance and aesthetics, and American musicians Duke Erikson (bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion), Steve Marker (guitar, keyboards) and Butch Vig (drums, percussion), are experienced musicians, with a mean age about of 50 years. All four members are involved in songwriting and production of original songs.

How could not it be, here's some advice, this time for Shirley Manson: it might be good for her, take a californian-sunbath, not necessarily at the beach, at the beginning of the morning or late afternoon, to tone the skin a little (she is a type of skin color "greenhouse flower").

One last word to say: We've seen watching an emergence of new singers, bands, duos, I dunno, proliferating like mushrooms, throwing hundreds or thousands of records.

Anyone who thinks he has some way to music (the lack of stable employment or academic career), comes to wanting to be an artist.
The problem is that this stunned oversupply, a lack of equivalent quality, which in other times, no producer would accept even an experiment. Today, it feels that it is all too easy, too "over the knee," to lightly, as a precocious ejaculation.

The artistic level for new talent is very low, if not horrible, because they are not able to create and compose "songs made from root", from the use of traditional instruments, then resort to artificial electronic processes and samples of pre-made in studio, the latter also of very poor quality.

Today, will soon play for radio, then easily accepted in the summer festivals (to fill time with cheap artists, to established artists at the end), easily nominated for "premium" "awards" and are already at a glance, alleged "stars". And this is how it works, the machine market.

No way.

That is to say today to this poverty of musical creation, are the bands with more than 20, 30-year career, they feel the "call" to re-enter the scene, i.e. band Garbage.

Poor your misery down on me.

Butch Vig - great producer - good drummer -found himself an excellent frontwoman in Shirley Manson.

Love Shirley and her accent.  She has the right heroes - Patti Smith and Chrissie Hynde.

Not in the slightest.. I'm right there with you.   This song is a great advert for depression.
Mind you, my ex-wife always said that seeing Garbage playing live was what prompted her to take up what turned out to be an ill-fated  shot at pop stardom.  Music lovers the world over should berate Garbage loudly for being such a bad influence.

And I think this came out in 1994, not 2004.

August 1995 as the "this version released" notation says.  Not sure what that 2004 entry is about unless Bill forgot to populate it and it was picked up from some other entry.

Anyway, it's raining here and I'm happy.  Good enough.

I agree with those saying this is probably their best song, although admittedly I did not listen to much of their stuff...

as a side note - the playlist says this was in 2004 - i'm thinking it should be 1994...?

Of course they are - that's the point.

Haven't you ever known anybody who seemed determined to be unhappy, who always found the bleak interpretation for everything, who seemed to find fulfillment in being disappointed?
