The Breeders - Classic or Dud?

SH*t you're kidding right?

No! Dude! I get to make fun of you for being old! That's how it works! Nobody gets to make fun of me for being young! Don't make me fuck you up with my Nerf dart gun!

They've been playing it at most of their recent live shows, I wasn't saying it for the sake of being random.

(and yes i like the breeders way more than the pixies)

(btw the amg is a little messed up for kelley deal. boom boom boom doesn't show up under 'kelley deal 6000' but does under 'kelley deal')

I remember a cover of "The Angry Inch" from Hedwig, which is far cooler on several levels. Or so I deem.

Fortunately Gone

Not picking sides in the Breeders-Pixies fight— they're both solid bands.

No you're not.

...what a book she'll WRIIIIIiiiIIIIIiiiiTTTTE!"

I'm on the verge of proclaiming the Black Sessions 1993 show they did one of the greatest live albums never released as such.

I don't know of that live album at all.

So anyway the Pixies song was called...fuck where is that CD? Give me a minute here.

Sorry, this is a Breeders thread. And I am drunk.

Breeders > Pixies

not that I don't like the latter, but songs like "Do You Love Me Now?" and "DOE" kind of, well, SHALL WE SAY, TROMP LE MONDE?? harhahr

for me (not that I... blah blah..)

What exactly is classic about Pod?

I'd like to know too! Seems pretty unanimously like a record I should get round to hearing one day.

Couldn't disagree more - the songs on Title TK are fairly uninspired but what saves it is the gloriously raw-but-rich sound (the non-Albini tracks are very flat by comparison).

COME BACK, KIM AND SING SOME MORE!!!

last splash and pod are getting vinyl reissues and coming out on march 31

pod on vinyl is perfection

i did it

Surmounter, that's awesome!

hey surm, air high five.

:D

was pumped to show u guys

Didn't they use to look alike?

i almost effed up and gave them both Pod to sign, and then it hit me that kelley wasn't on Pod. so i ran home and got one of her solo albums too

what are her solo albums like?

they're like... kim, but more preschool and ridiculous, in an amazing way, if that makes sense

it does. but while i don't have them i am just going to listen to last splash instead. it's been too long, like a whole month without hearing it.

sounds perfect :P

Congrats surm, and you look like a sweetie btw

I've only seen them onstage at a concert where the stage was a good few feet higher than the audience so my view was biased but are they that small or are you very tall? Terrific pic btw :)

they're pretty small! i'm only 5'11"

is that kim on left? she looks v different whichever one is her.

kelley, surm, kim
surely?

no! kim, me, kelley. they do look pretty different.

no! really? wow.. kim looks healthy

kim w/ short hair looks awes

They were so good when I saw them this summer. They played "I am Decided"!

'overglazed' is the jam

i love how Kim Deal smiles so much during live shows.

I had "Cannonball" stuck in my head today for no good reason.

I suspect that this is/was true about everyone on ILM at some point in their lives.

How do I check my webmail?

login to the email account that you use to login to your ILX profile

xpost Kim has a real knack for surreal turns of phrase. I think about the line "I need spit/to crush these beetles on my lips" from "Skinhead#2" on All Nerve all the time

Here's a challop: the only Breeders album I don't play often is Pod.

I’d love the zine, please

Oh. So webmail means the email goes to my regular email account?

If that’s the case, I have no emails pertaining to the Breeders Digest.

But I have an address and I know how much it cost, so I think we’re good.

It's funny that with the In Utero anniversary and the attendant discourse all the stuff about how them wanting to work with Albini becuz of Sufer Rosa, which I am not discounting, but I haven't seen any mention of Pod which at the time seemed, and listening to both records recently, to be a pretty obv sonic template, I mean "Happiness is a Warm Gun" sounds exactly like something on In Utero

Every time I listen to the Amps record I think "oh I don't really remember this record" and the second it starts I realize I have it memorized

first song on the Amps record has been one of my go-to random out-of-nowhere just-start-singing-out-of-thin-air melodies for 30 years

"now i'd liiiike to get back..."

In "Tipp City" I thought I was mishearing this but she really does sing "I have relations with anonymous internet nation", which feels both of the times and truly prophetic
