Why Do You Love Me
"Why Do You Love Me" is a song by alternative rock band Garbage, released as the lead single from their fourth studio album, ''Bleed Like Me'' (2005). The single was the first taste of the band's change in musical direction, eschewing the electronic-leaning production of their preceding albums ''Beautiful Garbage'' and '' Version 2.0'' for guitar-led rock. "It's about the fundamental insecurity in all human beings that they are unlovable", band singer and lyricist Shirley Manson told ''NME'', "Feeling unlovable drives us into marriage, monogamy, jealousy and possessiveness." "I feel that at the base of everyone there's a belief that we're truly lovable. But we often question it, which is why we seek out exclusive relationships." Uptempo, and wrapped around a signature monster guitar riff, "Why Do You Love Me" was described by the band as " Spector-esque" in interviews. In the United States, "Why Do You Love Me" became Garbage's first Hot 100 appearance in over six years, since " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Press Kit
A press kit, often referred to as a media kit in business environments, is a pre-packaged set of promotional materials that provide information about a person, company, organization or cause and which is distributed to members of the media for promotional use. Press kits are often distributed to announce a release or for a news conference. Terminology Traditionally, the term "press kit" referred to a set of documents, photographs (such as publicity stills) and other relevant materials packaged together, and such a kit was designed to be sent to a newspaper or magazine as part of an organisation's public relations or promotional program. Recently, as print media circulation and readership levels have been declining, marketing and PR people have begun using the broader term, "media kit", so that it now refers to any promotional material distributed to any media outlet. A PR media kit should not be confused with an advertising media kit developed by a newspaper or magazine for di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Art Direction
Art director is the title for a variety of similar job functions in theater, advertising, marketing, publishing, fashion, film and television, the Internet, and video games. It is the charge of a sole art director to supervise and unify the vision of an artistic production. In particular, they are in charge of its overall visual appearance and how it communicates visually, stimulates moods, contrasts features, and psychologically appeals to a target audience. The art director makes decisions about visual elements, what artistic style(s) to use, and when to use motion. One of the biggest challenges art directors face is translating desired moods, messages, concepts, and underdeveloped ideas into imagery. In the brainstorming process, art directors, colleagues and clients explore ways the finished piece or scene could look. At times, the art director is responsible for solidifying the vision of the collective imagination while resolving conflicting agendas and inconsistencies bet ...

I couldn't sleep... and I grabbed an acoustic guitar and just did this little riff with some of the chorus of that song,". Marker added that "I g ...

Blood For Poppies
"Blood for Poppies" is the 2012 lead single from alternative rock band Garbage's fifth studio album ''Not Your Kind of People'', released to radio worldwide and as the band's Record Store Day single in the United States. Garbage picked "Blood for Poppies" as the introduction to their return to releasing music: "We wanted it to be the first single because it encapsulates so much about Garbage. It's got the fuzzy guitars, and Shirley's vocals are so great. We felt that if this was the first thing that people heard from us in seven years, then this was the perfect track. It's uneasy, like you're in a constant state of paranoia." Background The nucleus of "Blood for Poppies" came from sessions Shirley Manson held to write her abandoned solo album project. The track began as a dub-style jam. The song kept being refined to its component groove and bassline as Manson refined her own vocal approach to the track. It was her idea to incorporate " strobing vocals" and "weird, glitchy voca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The World Is Not Enough (song)
"The World Is Not Enough" is the theme song for the 1999 ''James Bond'' film ''The World Is Not Enough'', performed by American rock band Garbage. The song was written by composer David Arnold (who also scored the film) and lyricist Don Black, previously responsible for four other Bond songs, and was produced by Garbage and Arnold. "The World Is Not Enough" was composed in the style of the series' title songs, in contrast with the post-modern production and genre-hopping of Garbage's first two albums. The group recorded most of "The World Is Not Enough" while touring Europe in support of their album '' Version 2.0'', telephoning Arnold as he recorded the orchestral backing in London before travelling to England. Garbage later finished recording and mixing the song at Armoury Studios in Canada. The lyrics reflect the film's plot (told from the viewpoint of antagonist Elektra King), with themes of world domination and seduction. The song and its accompanying soundtrack were ...
