Garbage 2.0: 15 Years To Garbage's "Version 2.0"

Back in 1999, on the edge of the new Millennium, Garbage were one of the most successful new bands in the Alternative Rock music world, led by a female singer. Shirley Manson, the Scottish redhead joined legendary producer Butch Vig (Who produced Bleach and Nevermind for Nirvana, Gish and Siamese Dream for The Smashing Pumpkins), Duke Erikson and Steve Marker to form Garbage in 1994. The first audition of Shirley Manson was a disastrous one, but networking with the other members gave her a second chance. The rest is History. Garbage released their debut album Garbage in 1995 and became successful very soon. The second album, Version 2.0, released on 11 of May, 1998, was quite different from the predecessor: It was darker, more noisy and sounds a bit different in each tracks which can be defined as ranged between Alternative Rock and Trip Hop, while using some Electronic beats. Listening to this album retrospectively still thrilling me, especialy the five songs I've chosen down here. Version 2.0 is still one of the greatest albums of 1998, even now.

Milk (Pick Word #27)

Milk is the first liquid we drink when we are born. Naturally, we get it from our mothers but we can see that more people use milk substitutes instead of the real thing. Meanwhile, dairy farms worldwide produced over 730 million tonnes of milk in 2011. We also know that China and Russia are the world leading importers of  milk products, India is the world leading consumer of milk and New Zealand, EU, USA and Australia are the leaders in exporting. So here are five songs which might (Or not) make you go to the refrigerator and drink a cold glass of this tasty beverage by Beck, Sea Oleena, Massive Attack, Nick Drake and Garbage. 

Beck - Milk And Honey (Taken From Midnite Vultures, 1999)

Sea Oleena - Milk (Taken From Sleeplessness, 2011)

Massive Attack - Black Milk (Taken From Mezzanine, 1998)

 

Nick Drake - Milk And Honey (Taken From The Family Tree, 2007)

Garbage - Milk (Taken From Garbage, 1995)

Dumb (Pick Word #26)

Being Dumb means you're unable to speak because of speech disorders. If once it was a disorder which meant that you could never get along in this world, then these days, if we put aside our prejudice, most of the obstacles of being Dumb has been removed due to technological development. You can see dumb people speak to each other using Skype or Mobile Devices (Of the third generation and up), which help them conduct a visual conversation, you can also purchase all the products you need without speaking to any person via Internet. Sometimes being some people wishing being Dumb in a certain situation which finds them speechless, here is one song which deals with that (and four other songs about the kind of Dumbness you can not resolve...) by Cocteau Twins, Nirvana, Garbage, Sufjan Stevens and Grandaddy

Garbage - Dumb (Taken From Version 2.0, 1998)

Nirvana - Dumb (Taken From In Utero, 1993)

Cocteau Twins - Blind, Dumb, Deaf (Taken From Garlands, 1982)

Sufjan Stevens - Dumb I Sound (Taken From A Sun Came, 2000)

Grandaddy - He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's The Pilot (Taken From The Sophtware Slump, 2000)
