I can listen to "Lime House" on repeat for an hour.
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

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.

Pod is so good. One of the top 10 albums of the 1990s.
― tylerw, Saturday, 30 May 2020 03:55 (three years ago) link
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.
― ⓓⓡ (Johnny Fever), Monday, 16 January 2023 05:13 (one year ago) link
I interviewed her for an alt-weekly in 2018.

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 (seven 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!
― Clientless (Scooter's Version) (morrisp), Wednesday, 23 August 2023 16:08 (seven months ago) link
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 (seven 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 (seven months ago) link
so should i see em in a week and a half?
― butt dumb tight my boners got boners (the table is the table), Sunday, 10 September 2023 21:50 (six months ago) link
Yes! They are much better now than they were in the 90s.
If you like the Breeders and Last Splash, do it!

Very good new piece in WaPo. Gift link, go nuts:https://wapo.st/3PnKDA4
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 16 September 2023 14:45 (six months ago) link
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.
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Saturday, 16 September 2023 14:53 (six months ago) link
Well, strictly speaking the sentence is accurate! He joined after it, they just didn’t say when.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 16 September 2023 15:00 (six months ago) link
TIL: "ROI" is no-wave and "No Aloha" is shoegaze... picking nits I know yayaya.
but I'm also trying to figure out what song Kim's chart is for...
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Saturday, 16 September 2023 15:07 (six months ago) link
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.
― my brain goes aahhhh (morrisp), Saturday, 16 September 2023 15:14 (six months ago) link
POV I'm your editor:
Macpherson, who joined for 1994's “Last Splash,” pounded his Gretsch kit like an Ohio schoolboy raised on Rush.
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Saturday, 16 September 2023 15:18 (six months ago) link
^Better for sure. Good article though!
― my brain goes aahhhh (morrisp), Saturday, 16 September 2023 15:19 (six months ago) link
Better but since it was 1993... *runs away*
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 16 September 2023 16:06 (six months ago) link
If only there were some way of verifying facts.
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Saturday, 16 September 2023 19:03 (six months ago) link
sorry, but this really is picking nits. the error in Steve Shasta's rewrite would be worse if published than the original sentence, which is not inaccurate and just fairly common shorthand when writing for a mass audience. (i agree, however, that Steve's rewrite is better w/o the year error.)
― alpine static, Saturday, 16 September 2023 19:08 (six months ago) link
Fwiw, I agree and didn’t realize the year was wrong in Steve’s edit (which I assume was a simple oversight!)
― my brain goes aahhhh (morrisp), Saturday, 16 September 2023 19:12 (six months ago) link
The thing which irks me is my favourite album Title TK (few would agree with me that it's their best) is half a footnote, as if the Lopez/Medelez incarnation of the band was somehow invalid despite putting out as many records as the Wiggs/Macpherson lineup.(it's Jon Mattock btw)
― assert (matttkkkk), Sunday, 17 September 2023 23:56 (six months ago) link
argh I meant "Medeles"
Might not agree it's their best no but I love Title TK
― Colonel Poo, Sunday, 17 September 2023 23:59 (six months ago) link
I might like Mountain Battles a little more, but yeah, I think Kim gets better and better. I'm glad the classic line-up got back together because All Nerve is amazing, but Title TK and Mountain Battles turned out just fine.
― Cow_Art, Monday, 18 September 2023 00:58 (six months ago) link
If nothing else, Title TK gave us “Off You,” a top ten Breeders song
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 18 September 2023 01:11 (six months ago) link
I'm excited about the Kim solo album. I hope there's a bunch of new stuff and not just rerecordings of the solo singles. Although that would be good too. I just need more Kim. Sometimes I fantasize about moving to Dayton and volunteering to be her personal assistant just so she has more time to make music. "Don't worry Kim, I'll mow the lawn!"
― Cow_Art, Monday, 18 September 2023 01:18 (six months ago) link
My Kim Deal fantasies have changed a lot since high school.
I think "London Song" is my favourite Deal song of all time. The weirdness of her structures and phrasing, particularly on that album, are absolutely unique and so overlooked - maybe my number one, definitely my top 3 songwriters of all time.Also the rhythm section are absolutely key to TK's wonky precision, it all sounds so loose but it's actually screwed down tight and perfectly locked in.
― assert (matttkkkk), Monday, 18 September 2023 01:31 (six months ago) link
These days I'm very favorable to loose nature of "Mountain Battles" - it comes off as the Deals having fun.

I really dig “Divine Mascis” but this is at the top of my list of why I dislike the video/visualizer school of track rollouts - for me, the images color or affect how I receive the music in ways that feel kinda gross.

Anybody: if you see the Breeders on this tour can you get me a copy of the newest issue of Breeders Digest, only sold at their shows? They’re not playing near me and I have all the other issues and it must be mine.
