Watch: Garbage on ‘Letterman’ in 2013, 1996

Garbage, the reunited alt-rockers with Madison ties, returned to the scene of their network television debut Tuesday, performing “Battle in Me” on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” Back in 1996, they brought “Stupid Girl” to Letterman’s stage. Last night’s appearance was in support of the band’s 2012 album “Not Your Kind of People.”

Here’s last night’s performance:

And, just for fun, you can pair that with their 1996 performance (which features an oversized Adidas pullover jacket that I don’t think would fly in 2013):
