Hi,
This site contains lyrics for songs by Garbage and Garbage-related videos. In addition there are links to other items of interest to Garbage fans on most pages.
US magazine Maxim March 2008 issue suggests Garbage may have a new album in 9 months time.
"One of the 90's coolest bands is in the studio and drummer Butch Vig says their new disc will lean towards "melancholy bummer music"."
(That will be December 2008. This information has not been confirmed by the band themselves or Geffen.)
In April 2008 Eric Avery's debut album Help Wanted is due for release. Avery is Garbage tour bass guitarist and a very very good friend of the band. Shirley appears on track 5 'Maybe'. The song was written by Avery and is said to be "lovely dark and deep, due partly to the lilting contribution of singer Shirley Manson".
in late February Wendy Schneider will be holding a screening of her documentary, “CUT: Teens and Self Injury,” in the Memorial Union, Madison. Shirley Manson says: “I think one of the reasons it [self injury] is prevalent with women is because the way our culture is at present, it’s really unacceptable for girls to be violent.” more details here
Absolute Garbage DVD of videos and extras tracklisting can be found here
The DVD, Absolute Garbage CD and Limited Edition CD with remixes are available now.
In November 2007 the possible tracklisting for Shirley's solo album has been leaked and the song titles are listed here. The album may be released end May 2008 but this has not been confirmed as yet.
Fan video for Betcha is here
Butch Vig has mentioned a song called Girls Talk Shit but I don't think there are any plans to release it at present.
In October 2007 the supergroup Metallica sang a version of Only Happy When It Rains during a live show and the YouTube video of the event is here
Hope you enjoy the site and visit again.

Butch Vig:
"Listening to our body of work, my favorite songs are Milk and Queer and You Look So Fine and Bleed Like Me, the slow and sultry stuff. When Shirley sings that way, I just fall in love with her voice. So I think we could make a completely different record than anything we've done before. It'll probably be commercial suicide, but the music business is so f*cked up now, maybe it'll be the most inaccessible record of our career.."
this new section is in preparation, so please allow some time for it to develop. Your contributions will be welcome, either through comments below or in the forum.
I think Garbage lyrics are fascinating because they have different layers of meaning. They are simple yet sophisticated, raw but smooth as silk. brutally honest and yet kind.
CarlosD - thanks for your nice comment about the site - makes it doubly worthwhile knowing other people enjoy it. I have placed a link to your petition higher up the page for people who want to vote. (Needless to say I think Shirley is so right and so cool to stick to her principles.)
