Read More »A petty bourgeois driven to frenzy by the horrors of capitalism is a social phenomenon which, like anarchism, is characteristic of all capitalist countries. The instability of such revolutionism, its barrenness, and its tendency to turn rapidly into submission, apathy, phantasms, and even a frenzied infatuation with one bourgeois fad or another—all this is common knowledge.

Sophie B. Hawkins Gave Us A Queer Pop Hit In The ’90s. Then Came The Backlash.
I sat on a mountainside with peace of mind
And I lay by the ocean
Makin’ love to her with visions clear
Walked the days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you

The original banned version of the video for Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover by Sophie B. Hawkins. Sophie’s record label at the time requested she film another version – the black and white version you’re probably more familiar with. Note the blue butterfly hands and the fingers walking up her cheek and how those moves reappear in her later videos.

Garbage – The World Is Not Enough
“The World Is Not Enough” is the theme song from the eponymous 1999 James Bond film, performed by American-Scottish alternative 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 released internationally by Radioactive Records when the film premiered worldwide at the end of November 1999. “The World Is Not Enough” was praised by reviewers; it reached the top forty of ten singles charts and the top ten of four. It was included on the James Bond compilation The Best of Bond… James Bond and Garbage’s greatest hits album, Absolute Garbage.
