Garbage (1995) - Episode 59 | Waterproof Records with Jacob Givens

When understanding how the band came up with the name "Garbage," Butch Vig once wrote in his 1993 studio journal about the creative process; "I hope that all this garbage will become something beautiful," and that's exactly what happened. The perfect storm brought Scotland's Shirley Manson all the way to Madison, Wisconsin to join forces with three musicians to shake things up and create something beautifully their own in the mid 1990s.

95 was cathartic... Shirley & the boys were an integral part of it. The production on their records is pristine. Garbage have a nice couple handfuls of true bangers.

[@Localfriendlyanarchist]

I'm usually happy when Garbage is playing at the suitably loud volume

[@crbradbury8282]

Nice!!

Literally just got into Garbage this week and have been diving into their whole discography! 27 year old here.

Oh man you’ve found a goldmine. The best way for me to immerse into something has always been to listen to an album start to finish usually laying down with no distractions. It takes about 3 listens and then I’m familiar enough with the material and can really connect with certain songs while others grow. Every Garbage album up to including Bleed Like Me I love 95%. Then they broke up for a while and some life stuff happened but now I’m finding the same with their latter stuff. Pretty amazing for around 30 years of music! Ok, I’m done!😊

[@JacobGivens]

YES! Love to hear this!!!

[@Hero_Of_Old]

​​@@phoenixgirl70 Not Your Kind of People is fantastic too! Just starting to listen to the newer stuff too.

[@kennycraven2648]

That album should be considered one of the best influential albums of all time.

Saw Garbage on their first proper tour at Rock City, Nottingham. Was so close to the speakers I was half deaf the next day at sixth form.... what a time to be alive.

[@jonlenzmeier5332]

Beginning to end, one of my favorite albums from the 90s. Listening to this, among some of my other favorites from that time, transports a part of my brain back and washes it in a flood of random memories. It’s good to just try and stay there for a while

[@DrewSowersby]

I like the in-depth and intimate curation of this Era of music

[@patrickmiller7803]

I got to visit with Garbage before they got big. Seville Quarters, Pensacola, Florida in like 1995. They were super personable and put on an amazing show to a small crowd. Saw them again in 1996 when they opened for SP in Biloxi, MS.

[@JacobGivens]

That's awesome!

[@rodmullen64]

Feels like old morning radio, im into it. Good subject matter too. helps that i always had a crush on shirley Manson lmao

[@phoenixgirl70]

I’ll never forget the first time I heard Vow waiting for my now ex-husband was in the bank. It’s rare for me to just love something immediately. The music, the vocals, the lyrics! I’ve been lucky to see them about 5 times and watching Shirley grow from a nervous self conscious performer to the powerhouse she is. Thank you for addressing the crap she got. I remember when Bleed Like Me came out and she did an interview but I just saw the responses mocking her for talking about hidden scars. Now, more people would understand what she meant! The band were always ahead of social issues, LGBTQ+, female sexuality/feminism and yes I think people were threatened or intimidated by Shirley and many felt they needed to take shots or twist her words. The band was above it all though. Thanks for a great trip to one of my favorite bands and an album where I found a soul sister in Shirley. And you are right on the money about music pretty much being a Time Machine. Sometimes something I haven’t heard in decades come on and it sends me right back to a memory and even the physical feelings I felt at the time but had forgotten. Incredibly powerful. Thanks Jacob it’s so cool listening to someone who thinks and/or feels so similar to me. We’re pretty awesome lol!

[@JacobGivens]

I truly appreciate this comment! Thank you so much! We are pretty awesome!

[@phoenixgirl70]

@@JacobGivensHey just wanted you to know this is the first notification I’ve gotten since your L7 Sunday thingy (sorry, brain issue girl here). I checked and YT didn’t unsub me, and I’ve got all notifications. I just looked back and saw everything I missed! I thought maybe you were on vacation and time passes strangely when your in my position (bed everyday). I always comment. I’m wondering if other people are dealing with this. I know YT doesn’t really care, but I’ve heard of this happening to other creators but this is my first time. Well, more like multiple in a row. Just fyi. But that’s frustrating for sure. Before I’d just get them late.

[@crbradbury8282]

Well brother... you have a fine Podcast. And deep knowledge to boot. Thanks for the solid work! 🙌🏽⭐💫♾

[@marcosolari6038]

Love love love this record

[@NickJ22]

Glad somebody else out there had the same reactions I had to these albums. Q101 was amazing to us and I also love the Pumpkins! Wrigley 2024!

[@Formula1875]

Dude! I feel like I was watching myself here!!! Lol. my sisters say I know every 90’s song out there but I really don’t. I’m constantly getting caught listening to that stuff. I miss it so bad but I think I really just miss the days I spent as a teen listening to the music. I remember every bit of where I was when I heard songs for the first time and it super nostalgic. Thank you for doing this because you definitely know more than me 😂 well whatever nevermind.

[@RobPoppy]

I can’t imagine how amazing it would be to produce some of or even one of the records mentioned. Just crazy cool creative cob-webs!!!😂❤

[@andrewdevlin2199]

Always loved the song Vow

Have you heard of this band "Travis"? Their albums are really good but their album "the man who" is just a masterpiece :) would you do a video? By the way, I went to spotify to check out "the last dinner party" and to my surprise i was already following them!

[@JacobGivens]

Yep! I know Travis, and I did a little video a few months back with a snippet of "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?" Maybe more stuff to come with that band! It's a great album.

[@Suzanne-goes-Carnivore]

Dear Jacob, please tell me the year you were born? I'm from 1977 Thanks!!

[@JacobGivens]

Sure! I was born in 1978!

[@Suzanne-goes-Carnivore]

@@JacobGivens that's awesome thanks so much!!

[@Suzanne-goes-Carnivore]

Have you heard of a band called Deus, they're from Belgium and were huge in Europe in the 90's, fantastic album called Suds 'n Soda.
