MUSIC: 'Absolute Garbage' Available In Stores This Summer!

Though Garbage front woman Shirley Manson is busy readying her guest star-heavy debut solo LP, the singer has taken time out from those sessions to promote the band's upcoming deluxe greatest hits 2-CD/DVD package, Absolute Garbage, released July 17th.

The band briefly called off its previously announced hiatus to record a new track for the collection, entitled "Tell Me Where It Hurts." The song is a power-ballad in typical Garbage fashion, with Manson mustering her best Chrissie Hynde-pout for the melodrama that ensues. The new track will also be released as a single on July 9th, sporting three previously unreleased b-sides across 3 formats. The Sophie Muller-directed video for the single was released this past week.

Absolute will feature an 18-track 'hits' disc, a second disc of 14 remixes, and a DVD of 15 promo videos. A version sans the remix disc will also be available. A tour in support of the collection is unlikely.

Absolute Garbage Track Listing:

Recemmended Viewing:
A very low-qaulity video (we'll update if a higher-qaulity becomes available) for the new Garbage single, "Tell Me Where It Hurts." Whatever You say Shirley, yes ma'am!

Ah the sweet melodramatic angst of garbage.

is shirley an honorary suicidegirl?

yey for new garbage stuff.
shirley is just amazing at everything she does....great video!

Looking forward to both the Garbage greatest hits and Shirley's solo album.

I've got all of the CDs, but I'd buy it for the remixes and videos.

Excellent.

Garbage used to be my favourite band, but I lost most of the interest somewhere along the way. I think it's because Shirley became happy... or at least content.

i think the video is better like that- shooting it off the TV screen adds something...

Nice! It's too bad they didn't include some of their great b-sides like "Kick My Ass" & "Subhuman", but we can't have it all.

Glad they included the Massive Attack remix of Milk, which is farely scarce these days.

Looking forward to it.

not a fan of the song but i could watch her amytime

Wow, that's a helluva lot better than that yak-errific song they made for that Bond movie.

Shirley Manson hugged me once. True story.

yeah, I must admit I love the format... and the song is pretty good, ah the memories of the old days...

lucky you, I'm sure Shirley-hugs are nice

I likes me some shirley, but they shoulda called it Time To Take Out the garbage! Ha ha!!

what a kinky vid. i love the night vision.

Awesomeness.

I had such a crush on her as a teenager

::squeals::

Its a crime that Shirley hasn't done an SG set. Someone please make it happen!

Hey, it has a remix by Felix da Housecat. He shops at the Gamestop I used to work in. Met him a couple of times. Good guy, he is.

Oh yeah, and yay for Shirley Manson! Sorry for the off topic-ness.

good song, reminds me a bit of slightly dirtier version of Texas though

Yes! Finally more Garbage I need Shirley's solo album too...

I still do...

I need both of these albums! I love Garbage! and am really looking forwad to Shirley Mansons solo album.

god i love her
