  4. A new interview with Butch surfaced in the internet. I think it's an interesting read: http://www.thescene.com.au/Music/Features/GARBAGE-INTERVIEW/ GARBAGE INTERVIEW Andrew Weaver - 10 Aug 2007 It’s like going around the world in 24 hours,” ruminates Butch Vig of his gruelling interview schedule – his speaks to European and American scribes in the morning, and by night he’s talking to Australian and Japanese journalists. Perhaps it’s just testament to how popular Garbage remain, despite lying dormant for some two years since the release of their fourth album, Bleed Like Me. “It’s either that or how persistent our publicity team is,” he jokes. While the band may have taken a break, Butch has maintained his gruelling production schedule – he’s worked on the major label debut by Against Me, recently wrapped up a record with Jimmy Eat World, and now finds himself ensconced with Irish trip the Subways as they work on their sophomore release. Dividing his time between the production work – which has seemed endless since he broke through to a mainstream level after helming Nirvana’s Nevermind – and working on material for Garbage is always a challenge, and he confirms the challenge of releasing the greatest hits / remixes / video compendium Absolute Garbage was finding time to record some new material. “We found some time in February, March, and we did most of it in my studio here at my home in Los Angeles,” Butch says. “But even so going through our archival footage [was time-consuming]. We put together a documentary on the DVD which is a companion to our videos, and I did a remix on the remix CD of “Bad Boyfriend”, which I did in-between Against Me and Jimmy Eat World. I’ve been very busy, but it’s good – I prefer to be immersed in music, and the main thing for me is just knowing when I have deadlines so I know when to finish something.” Working on a remix of material that he himself had performed on was something greatly different for the super producer – he hadn’t done anything like it since Garbage’s self-titled debut some ten years ago. “From that point on we always sent it off to artists that we really respected,” he says of getting Garbage material re-imagined. “It’s something that I just did when I was goofing around when I updated my studio last year – I started tinkering with a remix for “Bad Boyfriend” and when we started putting the package together I thought it would be cool if the remix CD had a new track on it. “We thought about farming the song out to somebody else,” he says, “but then I thought maybe I should just dive back in and finish it myself. I went and spent a couple of days tweaking it out, and it turned out really cool – Shirley [Manson] and Duke [Erikson] didn’t even know I was doing it and then I showed it to them and Shirley said ‘that’s fabulous, we have to put it on there’.” Having taken an extended break since the release of their last album, Butch says that the plan is for the group to reconvene in early 2008, with Shirley working on a solo record from September, and Butch due to work on another production project immediately after the Subways. “I think probably the earliest we’re going to see Garbage get into the studio would be in the [northern] Spring of next year,” he says. “We’ve talked very loosely about making more of an unplugged, acoustic kind of record,” he says of their next musical adventure, “which I keep referring to as ‘The Bummer Record’ – let’s record 12 really depressing, dark, sultry songs. It’s probably commercial suicide, but at this point I don’t think we really give a $h!t what the record company thinks; we’re mostly interesting in making a record that we’re happy with. But who knows? Once we start writing songs it depends on where the songs take you. We may end up making a techno record.” Having a charismatic person such as Shirley Manson as a band leader does, in some part, explain why an act like Garbage can suddenly disappear yet, when they return, feel almost as if they have never gone away. So forceful is Manson’s personality that – like Kurt Cobain or Billy Corgan – they demand attention. I think,” he says, “as an artist you have to have a vision as to where you’re going, and the more identity you can stamp on that the more you’re going to connect with the public. The more you sound generic or like other bands then the less the public is going to be interested in you, and if you can do something that really has your own sound – whatever that is – then that’s going to help you. “To a certain extent our sound,” he speculates of Garbage’s music, “was an amalgamation of all sorts of things – hip-hop beats and rock guitars and electronica and weird sound effects. But at the front of it we had Shirley’s voice and she gave us a centre, and she had such a strong presence and strong character that it allowed us to do all sorts of things stylistically, like record a song like “Milk” or “Push It” or “Bleed Like Me” on the last record, or “Bad Boyfriend” – we didn’t choose one style of music to play and Shirley really helped that. Any band that has someone with that strong a presence like that gives you a lot of freedom.” 'Absolute Garbage' is out now, with the band hoping to tour Australia mid-2008.

  7. I second that. JLo's single sounds as predictable as it can get.

    Is there something wrong with my eyes or you have really missed one of the greatest female vocalist in rock music? (Shirley Manson) :o

  17. oh how I love As Heaven Is Wide! I love listening to it late at night on switched off lights :D I'm listening to Tell Me Where It Hurts (Un Belle Du Jour Mix) right now..
  18. I think this week we're going pretty good. Do you think we have any chances to get top40? :rolleyes: now that would be a success :)
  19. well... to me The World Is Not Enough is just an ok song... I'm not saying it's bad (I love how enpowering Shirley's voice sounds) but it just doesn't have the Garbage vibe. It is so obvious it was not written by them and for me it misses something. I remember when it came you I was really surprised how orchestral it sounded, then again you don't expect anything much different for a Bond sountrack. To be honest I actually prefer the chilled out remix of the song which Garbage produced themselves. Between Push It OR I Think I'm Paranoid I'll chose Push It. I guess I got a bit tired of I Think I'm Paranoid as it was my ringtone for over 2 years. Silence Is Golden vs Sex Is Not The Enemy

  22. I totally agree with you on that.. BUTG is one of the weakest G singles - it just sounds too forced and generic.
