I’m only labeling this new Garbage video as a red hot video instead of a song of the day because “No Horses” already was a song of the day when they debuted the audio a week or so ago. Anyway, this is the apocalypse as seen by Garbage and director Scott Stuckey and, well, everything that…

Garbage has all sorts of sci-fi and horror-esque things happening in this new red hot video for “Magnetized” from their latest album, Strange Little Birds.

Once upon a time — the mid ’90’s to be precise — I interviewed Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue for my hair metal zine, ANT, The Only Cool Magazine That Bites. I asked him what he was listening to lately and he said “Garbage and God Lives Underwater.” I went to Tower Records on the…

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Yes, Garbage’s new single, “Empty,” is so amazing that it deserves it being said three times. Well, OK, I’ve just used it four times. Do I need to say it again?
