I was sanding the walls the other day so I can do some painting inside, and was putting on some old CD's to keep me motivated.

Came across this one, I like it a lot, but forgot about it. The band, "Garbage", the song "Special". This used to be my favorite song for a while. I really like the video too, very creative for a music video.

Their song #1 Crush really blows me away too.

"Special" is a good song. My fav from them is "Paranoid." I had that stuck in my mind one year when I did the "El Tour de Tucson" bike ride and it kept me going for 5 hours!

I have to say the Garbage video for Special is one of my all time favorite music videos. Plus, every time I see that singer and those big eyes my goes flippety flop.

The drummer for Garbage was Butch Vig, who was also the producer for Nirvana’s Nevermind album. There is a little bit of a connection there for me since before the Nirvana days, Butch Vig produced a song at his Smart Studios for a small band some friends of mine were in (did I also tell you I happen to know the drummer for the UK band Cynic? I have connections everywhere).

Like I said earlier, the Garbage song #1 Crush also really blows me away. A love song, yes, but not a typical one, there is so much more than that, it goes much deeper. The absolute obsessive devotion and loyalty the singer expresses has me seeing visions of blind hero worship, from Hitlerism (think of how many died for him because they believed in him) to cults, mother ships behind the comet, and grape cool aide.

“I will sell my soul for something pure and true, Someone like you”

Best to listen if you have some big speakers where the bass can shake the house:
