Along with the new track "Tell Me Where It Hurts," Absolute Garbage features 17 songs of extreme and intense emotion, from "Stupid Girl," "Queer" and "#1 Crush" to "Special," "Bleed Like Me" and "Why Do You Love Me."

Among the 15 Garbage music videos on DVD for the first time -- including "Vow," "Only Happy When It Rains," "Stupid Girl," "Milk" and "Queer" -- is almost an hour of never-before-seen footage backstage and behind-the-scenes, live performances and interviews, spanning the band's entire career.

A special limited edition 2-CD set adds to the original CD a bonus disc of remixes by some of the world's most renowned DJs, including U.N.K.L.E., Massive Attack, Todd Terry, Crystal Method, Fun Lovin' Criminals, and Felix Da Housecat.

Woohoo, something official finally!

[-Big Dan-]

I'm kind of guessing that Garbage fans like myself are hard to come by on this board.

[ManicKangaroo]

you and me Dan, and harmony from the charts forum - so thats 3 of us

[musicfan2000]

i like them,might be tempted to get this and i'll 100% download the new song when released

[dandyhighwayman]

Well, my initial reaction is great that 'Vow' is on it but I really love 'Androgony' and it's not on.

[Smurfie]

No Androgony? Thats my favourite Garbage track (well 2nd actually, I Think I'm Paranoid is my top Garbage song). Remix CD looks interesting though.

[dandyhighwayman]

I'll end up buying it, I'm a sucker for remix CDs and indie bands generally have decent ones too - Manics and Placebo for instance.

Top 5 Garbage tracks:

01 Vow
02 You Look So Fine
03 Androgony
04 I Think I'm Paranoid
05 Push It

[Smurfie]

I'm just a sucker for Greatest Hits compilations full stop.

[Deleted]

That's awesome news.
I'm definately going to get the cd/dvd set.

[-Big Dan-]

I'll be buying it, mainly for the remix CD but I like the fact that the first CD's track listing is near as dammit chronological.

[Admin]

Great news, been a fan for a while! Interested to hear the new song soon as well.

[Mart!n]

There's a vid on YouTube mate, but the quality's not that great. Someone's just held their camera in front of their TV and recorded it like that. It's here though if you fancy a look, and I must thank Manic for bringing this to my attention.

Clicky!

[-Big Dan-]

This one's been recorded in a similar way but IMO it's of marginally better quality:

Clicky

Think the new vid is being shown on C4 this week?

[Admin]

Deffo a grower, cheers.

Heard their new single " Tell me Where it Hurts" for the first time today.I have to say that I think Shirley is starting to sound like Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders.The single speeds up though into a proper Garbage record.
For me "Special" is still the best thing they've ever done.

Indeed, it's being shown tonight at 12:20am...

[-Big Dan-]

..and I Sky Plussed it, however thanks to Channel 4 getting their time schedule slightly wonked up, the recording ended with about a minute left of the song. Grr!
