Man, I bought the 7", and it's pressed really shittily - the center hole is too small to fit over the spindle on my turntable! I tried to force it down but the belt wouldn't move. I'm not sure what to do - definitely a drag.

She Got the Shakes, Friday, 18 January 2013 01:01 (eleven years ago) link

doh, that is lame. i didn't even know about this til today...

tylerw, Friday, 18 January 2013 02:40 (eleven years ago) link

when this used to happen to me I'd use the scoop-bladey thing on a Swiss Army knife to enlarge the spindle hole

I've only bought like 2 7"s in the last 8-9 years though

( ͡° ͜ʖ͡°) (sic), Friday, 18 January 2013 16:04 (eleven years ago) link

prob still works tho

Stick the pen end of a biro in the hole and turn it back and forth a few times, that usually sorts it.

Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Friday, 18 January 2013 16:19 (eleven years ago) link

HELL YES

Do they produce all their own stuff? I always love the sounds they get. They seem to never have a producer mess w anything on their albums, it always sounds like it was EXACTLY what they wanted to do. Love them forever for it!

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 20 March 2014 23:30 (ten years ago) link

Albini is their most common producer, but they've worked with various others. Kim co-produced Last Splash.

Charles, hatless (sic), Friday, 21 March 2014 00:23 (ten years ago) link

Cool, I guess I always loved Albini's minimalist recording style. The new stuff sounds like it could have been recorded in the 90s! That's a good thing!

Kim Deal is such an inspiration to me. Just wish she would do more stuff.

Not QUITE a new Breeders song but when it's a Kim solo single that happens to feature both Kelley and Britt Walford, well then:

geoffreyess, Sunday, 1 October 2017 14:53 (six years ago) link

oops

I've been in the habit of listening to those 2013-14 Kim Deal singles as a full album, if this ends up as good as that I'll be thrilled.

geoffreyess, Sunday, 1 October 2017 14:55 (six years ago) link

Somehow I completely missed that Kim Deal has released 6 singles in the last 5 years!

Colonel Poo, Sunday, 1 October 2017 16:00 (six years ago) link

Sorry, 5, she just guested on a single by another band

so so so good. i love the Breeders. if anyone is ever sad about what happened to the Pixies they just need to check out the Breeders, they are still solid.

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 3 October 2017 14:36 (six years ago) link

Also they absolutely smoke live

Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 3 October 2017 14:38 (six years ago) link

Played Title TK yesterday for the first time in a long while, had almost forgotten how great it is. Also my LP is worth some money I saw as I checked discogs :)
Looking forward to a new album (&tour!).

willem, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 14:50 (six years ago) link

yep this rules

maura, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 16:38 (six years ago) link

This is better than anything Frank Black has farted out in the last 10 years.

Monster fatberg (Phil D.), Tuesday, 3 October 2017 16:41 (six years ago) link

Phantastic. They sound exactly like 25 years ago.

Ich bin kein Berliner (alex in mainhattan), Tuesday, 3 October 2017 16:46 (six years ago) link

Nah, 21st century Breeders >> 20th century Breeders. Title TK is their best album, although Pod/Safari is a close second for me. Kim's writing and delivery gets better and looser every year.

attention vampire (MatthewK), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 02:38 (six years ago) link

Title TK is their best album

How cute.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 02:47 (six years ago) link

Wait in the Car is now my default alarm clock sound.

Fetchboy, Wednesday, 4 October 2017 04:11 (six years ago) link

Holy shit!! Those B-sides!!:

"Wait In the Car" will be released on three different seven-inch records, all limited to 1,500 copies. The first will be available on the Breeders' upcoming tour dates, starting October 15th. That record will be pressed on orange vinyl and feature a cover of Amon Düül II's "Archangel's Thunderbird," recorded with Steve Albini in Chicago. The second seven-inch will be available at select independent record stores starting October 27th. Pressed on yellow vinyl, that version will feature a cover of Devo's "Gates of Steel" on the B side. A release date for the third seven-inch has yet to be announced, though it's expected to arrive later this year, will be pressed on red vinyl and feature Deal's cover of Michael Nesmith's "Joanne."

Fetchboy, Wednesday, 4 October 2017 05:57 (six years ago) link

xp don't try to tell me the bloated, overproduced Last Splash is better than TK

attention vampire (MatthewK), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 06:17 (six years ago) link

wait, they're back to the O.G. lineup?!

alpine static, Wednesday, 4 October 2017 07:37 (six years ago) link

sorry, i guess i don't mean O.G., i mean what i would consider their "classic" lineup (Deal/Deal/Wiggs/MacPherson)

alpine static, Wednesday, 4 October 2017 07:40 (six years ago) link

They reformed that lineup for the 20th anniversary of Last Splash
