Garbage – I Think I’m Paranoid
Garbage's album Version 2.0 was perhaps the first real record I've ever owned. It wasn't my first, which was an Nsync tape, and I was eleven at the time so quit laughing. I only bought music then so I could have a point of reference with my peers. I was the wierd smartass in 6th grade, and while I wasn't the class outcast I didn't have much to talk about with the others aside from the usual class gossip and the fact that we hated Mr. Clobb's class. Knowing the difference between Justin and Lance helped keep me socially safe. And I must say, pop records are good as background music. I'd often play that tape while I was doing homework. Thom Yorke has this term for this sort of stuff, called "lifestyle music."
