Is it from a new album I don't have?
I seldom missed Garbage since circa 1998 when they opened for Smashing Pumpkins in a college gym.

I was dating a younger woman who insisted I see SP but I'd never heard of Garbage. When they were playing I kept saying: "Hey, I know this song!" over and over. I was listening to a station at the time that played "Stupid Girl" and others in rotation and I loved it.

As it turned out, Smashing Pumpkins was quite a disappointment after the industrial grunge of Steve Marker and Butch Vig and while the girlfriend is long gone I've made every local appearance since. I took my oldest grandson to see them when he turned 18. I think he liked them but Shirley Manson had him hypnotized.
