music monday: garbage

I grew up listening to Garbage: for years, my father would play songs from some of their albums on the way to and from violin lessons. I credit them (and my father, in general) with broadening my musical taste at such an early age.

This band has such incredible members that it would have been impossible for them to not be great. With Shirley Manson's incredible vocals and the brilliant Butch Vig (producer of Nirvana's "Nevermind," Sonic Youth's "Dirty" and "Experimental Jet Set, Trash, and No Star," Smashing Pumpkins' "Gish" and "Siamese Dream," and pretty much every other great 90's rock album) on the drums, the band is a recipe for musical masterpieces.

Garbage came to D.C. last week (unfortunately, I didn't get tickets to either of their sold out shows), so in their honor, I'm passing along their genius to you. Enjoy.
