After a year of ups and downs for Garbage, the band turned quite a few heads on Tuesday morning when its second album, "Version 2.0," received a pair of Grammy nominations -- for Best Rock Album as well as the prestigious award for Album of the Year.

Even though early sales figures posted by the new record were a tad more sluggish than Garbage hoped, "Version 2.0" has proven to have long-term legs, much like that of the group's 1995 self-titled debut. And though no one could have predicted the Grammy nods for "Version 2.0," Garbage says that once in the studio, it became obvious that they were making a much better album than its first.

Garbage has just

finished work on a video clip for a fourth single, "When I Grow Up," and in February Shirley Manson and the boys will head out on the road with Alanis Morissette.
