30 Day Music Challenge - Day 19 - Song From Your Favorite Group



When I bought my first home computers we got a coupon for a free CD. I wondered why that was so. Maybe it was to promote CD sales in this box appliance store or maybe they were prescient enough to know that having something to listen to while figuring out how to get on the Internet would be helpful to my mental health. Either way 'Garbage Vol 2.0' was that album that saved my sanity in those early days. It's one of the few albums that I can listen to straight through and each song reinforces memories in my mind of those first heddy days on the net. The girl I met in Winnipeg and all the cool mail we would send to each other, the sheer depravity of Japanese porn and anime and of course, all the songs I could steel off Napster until the joy that it bit torrent came along. So today we present 'Special - by Garbage'

How did I not notice that you are already doing the 30 Day Challenge? Perhaps I am just challenged. ;)

I know it's sad, but I never knew this song was by Garbage. Mystery solved! :)

WOW, nevermind! I am clearly still half asleep. You are doing a MUSIC CHALLENGE, not the same challenge as me!

Definitely challenged.

I think I wore my copy of this CD out and had to buy another. I will always read this blog as long as you salt in some Garbage.

Garbage is awesome. Their music is excellent as is Shirley's acting when they give her good rolls like on the Sarah Connon Chronicls.
