As posted above, "Walking With The Killer" was the absolute highlight of the show I saw a couple months ago. I love Kim's solo (demo?) version.... very intrigued by the album release.

as I noted on the other thread, the real draw for me here is what I assume is a cover of
Amon Duul II - "Archangels Thunderbird"

Those Kim Deal 7" singles from 2014 are great and make a nice album of sorts (incl. "Walking With a Killer"). I bought 3-4 of the vinyl releases but you can get the whole lot from iTunes I think, and Amazon if you don't want DRM. No lossless anywhere I could find though."Biker Gone" with Kim, Kelley and Britt Walford is effectively a Breeders song (and superb) -https://vimeo.com/110603858

Wow - decent mini reviews but my ranking would go Pod = TK > Nerve > Splash > Battles. Pacer would be equal to Nerve if we're including it.

songs are great but the albini aesthetic rarely does it for me, i'd have gone for last splash. but i'll take it

the thing about pod vs. last splash is that they're both perfect
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 May 2020 14:16 (three years ago) link
albini's method of recording very tight bands in a straight up way that emphasized dynamics which would somehow make them sound more mysterious and strange = still classic i think, despite the uneven mastering (or at least i think that must be why "happiness" is 30x louder than the rest of the record)
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 May 2020 14:25 (three years ago) link
yeah I think there is something a little off about the mastering of Pod, at least on the CD version, would be interesting to hear that album on vinyl and see if it's any different. I think the Albini recording works otherwise
just had a quick look on slsk and found some FLACs purporting to be ripped from the original LP so will see
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 29 May 2020 14:37 (three years ago) link
I can listen to "Lime House" on repeat for an hour. Easily Deal's best song ever. POD is indeed a far better album than LAST SPLASH, and I love how she returned to Albini after the bloat of Gil Norton
― beamish13, Friday, 29 May 2020 18:21 (three years ago) link
Albini's Rid of Me (and some other) production being discussed on PJ Harveythread. Back then I listened to alt-rock on casettes, via whatever headphones, didn't worry about production.

If I'm going to do this I'm going to listen to the demo version anyways thx for watching my TEDTalk

I listened to the vinyl rip of Pod earlier, Happiness Is A Warm Gun was still a little louder than the tracks around it but it sounded great although I don't think it was significantly different to the CD, not that I A/B'd it or anything. It did seem to be actually a vinyl rip, there were a couple of tiny pops during Metal Man which has a lot of quiet parts.
It is a great album and it took me back to my teens when I bought it and I could picture my bedroom at my mum's house
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 30 May 2020 00:09 (three years ago) link
Used to play my Pod tape in mom's minivan, hope she enjoyed it. The Breeders were so formative for me I didn't even know the (post-Beatlemania) Beatles yet.
― geoffreyess, Saturday, 30 May 2020 03:48 (three years ago) link
Pod is so good. One of the top 10 albums of the 1990s.

Can’t recommend the Pod demos enough.

I don’t think Kim has done any interviews in 7+ years, no?
― beamish13, Sunday, 15 January 2023 22:50 (one year ago) link
She did WTF with Marc Maron in 2017, and what I thought was quite a lot of press around All Nerve in 2018. Pretty quiet since then...
― verhexen, Sunday, 15 January 2023 23:37 (one year ago) link
The full band did an NPR interview for All Nerve, but I can't remember which show it was for.

also in the US, currently, with Last Splash 30th anniversary headline dates in between. Belly opening for Breeders on some Californian and Washington dates.
― vashti funyuns (sic), Wednesday, 23 August 2023 16:03 (eight months ago) link
Yep, we have tickets for one of those dates. Hard to believe it's been 10 years since we saw them on the last anniversary tour!

I'm going to see them in SF, albeit at a very different venue then their last time here (Rickshaw Stop & The Independent)
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 23 August 2023 16:25 (eight months ago) link
My favorite band. They played recently in Atlanta but it's just too far from Savannah (5 hours) and I saw the prior Last Splash reunion. I think we saw them on one of the last nights and they came back and played Pod in full as well, plus a couple of b-sides. It was terrific.
They are definitely a band that has gotten better live.
― Cow_Art, Wednesday, 23 August 2023 16:57 (eight months ago) link
so should i see em in a week and a half?

Thanks Ned. A couple paragraphs in, already an error:
Macpherson, who joined after 1990s “Pod,” pounded his Gretsch kit like an Ohio schoolboy raised on Rush.
Jim didn't join until 1993, he replaced Jim Mattock (of Spacemen 3 and Josephine's band Perfect Disaster) who drummed on the Safari EP.

Well, strictly speaking the sentence is accurate! He joined after it, they just didn’t say when.

xp Yeah it’s a little clunky but the writer is describing their “third lineup” and prob didn’t want to get into the weeds of mentioning an EP.
