I've been listening to a lot of Garbage lately. Literally. I've always been a casual fan but I never had any of their stuff until recently. I bought Bleed Like Me and downloaded a few of their singles from Garbage, Version 2.0, and Absolute Garbage. Lead singer Shirley Manson is phenomenal. Highly recommended.
About today's QOTD: They cleaned it up a little for Letterman. Bleed Like Me is a great song, a great CD, and Garbage is anything but just another pop band. I just hope they're not done.
I offer two from just outside CrabAppleLane's side door on this beautiful autumn morning:

Quote of the Day
JT gets all fucked up in some karaoke bar
After two drinks he's a loser after three drinks he's a star
Getting all nostalgic as he sings "I Will Survive"
Hey baby can you bleed like me?
C'mon baby can you bleed like me
Garbage, Bleed Like Me
Blog of the day here.
Quote from said blog: "The focal point of the underrated Garbage has been fiery Scottish singer Shirley Manson. Although the music has always been the band's undeniable master, Manson is quite comfortable with providing fans with a visual show that matches her vocal prowess."



I've always loved I'm Only Happy When it Rains...I was just thinking about it the other day, actually.
Lovely shots from your garden. Such beautiful colors! I'll have to remain jealous, though. Our yard out here in the middle of the wild, piney woods resists any efforts at "pretty-ing up." Fortunately I'm pretty Zen about the whole thing & am perfectly willing to enjoy the wildflowers & plants who've lived here since well before we ever moved in.
Ah, the blue ginger is beautiful again this year....and I still lust for it!
That's a good way to look at it, Lana. For what it's worth, I miss as much as I hit, maybe more. I have murdered more dogwood trees than I care to admit to and I don't think any seeds I've planted have ever come up out here.
Thanks, Charlotte. It's having a great season so far and has spread considerably since last year. I'm especially pleased about that.
The Blue Ginger is gorgeous! Our flowers all seemed so blah this year.
