Instead of releasing the b-side album they've talked about releasing since the days when all their b-sides could potentially fit on a single disc,,,

Re-release each of their albums as those fancy two disc deals. In those nice glossy cardboard fold out cases with acetate slip covers. I'm so incredibly materialistic that this excites me more than actual new music.

The second disc will include all b-sides for that album, select remixes (some were really good like that version of Milk) and possibly some live selections from each given era. Considering all the time they spent fucking around in the studio, there's also sure to be stuff nobody has heard before.

I also love fancy liner notes, when some music writer is commisioned to interview the band and give an in depth account of the making of each record.
Pet Shop Boys re-released albums include them discussing every single song in the liner notes.

with their sales declining and popularity decreasing as much as it has i dont see that as likely from interscope.

yeah i don't really see it happening either. if we see anything else from this band at all, it will probably be a hits compilation.

I don't need a b-side album either.
I'd prefer a proper live cd or DVD.
I think this is the sentiment of alot of Garbage fans.

it is in the works.

they are so over, too bad cos' i really liked them.

you'll be lucky to get the greatest hits album. don't hold your breath for anything more.

Last year I tried to force myself to re-get into Garbage, because it was ten years since the first one.

I hate 2005. It paid such shit tribute to 1995. 1995 being my favorite year.

Forcing my interest in Garbage didn't work. It all sounded dead.

This year it's happened a little more organically. I've been listening to Version 2.0 quite a bit.

I forgot I didn't get into Garbage in 1995. It was actually 1997 and my interest in them peaked in the spring of 1999.

I was a much more optimistic and decent person in 1998. In retrospect my kindness and the way I tried were my favorite things about me back then.

Now I'm a boring cunt and always tired.

Instead of giving up on life in late 1999, I wish I could have foreseen meeting my favorite person ever.
Maybe I would have tried to do my best, so I could have a chance to be with him.

My three favorite Garbage songs are Queer, Push It and Milk. Those three do a nice job at representing everything that's good about Garbage.

Version 2.0 makes me so sad and reminds me the future is now in the past. When the album came out the future was still where it should be.

I love Milk but their first record to me sounds kind of boring. I love Version 2.0 and I think it's their best album

it is their best album.
the last two were major disappointments.

wow <3 milk, blast from the past.

I never really got too "into" Garbage, so I can't relate.

I don't hate it, but it's definately not one of my favorites by them.

Milk used to be one of my favorites. Version 2.0 is the best record though. I can say that it is my favorite record ever...........so far........

"The Trick is to Keep Breathing" is an amazing song.
As are "Number One Crush", and "You Look So Fine".

Does Shirley even write her own lyrics?

Yeah.

I think most of the lyrics to the first album were already written, and Shirley just slutted them up a little and added a verse here and there.

For instance, Butch Vig wrote "Queer" about a character in a book. So the narrative part is his, and Shirley just added the "hey boy take a look at me/let me dirty up your mind" and "you can touch me if you want" parts.

Butch said Shirley wrote 90% of the lyrics on Version 2.0

Beautifulgarbage is all her, and it shows.

The last album is probably all Shirley too. Most of the songs have at least a few clues that they're Shirley songs.

You are completey wrong, Cletus.
