Josephine Wiggs!
The Breeders recently posted a pic on their Facebook page of Kim, Kelley and Josephine with the caption "Josephine's recent visit to Ohio... new stuff!"

I would presume it's the full touring LSXX lineup :) |

Kim's new single is cool and weird. I like it.
And she's very likely not seething over the Pixies tour. She WANTED to leave the band. She's a wealthy woman and an independent artist who's doing her own thing and working at her own pace and probably doesn't care much about what people like most of you think about it. Does she have any personal web presence at all, even?
And Frank's likely not gloating or even thinking much about Kim Deal lately, except when he's asked about it in every interview and has to repeat the story. He's busy with his own shit. |

I don't think people are white knighting Kim, so much as just expressing disgust at your seemingly one-note criticism and focus on Kim.
This is correct.
I'm a huge fan of the Pixies and Surfer Rosa and Doolittle are two of my favorite albums of all time. I also love almost everything Kim does. I loved Pod and the Amps record and Last Splash. I think her songwriting is something very special. I don't really have a personal stake in the discussion other than being a fan of the music of all involved and being grossed out by the casual sexism that's part of trying to knock Kim down. I like that she looks like she's lived hard and I respect that she got all the way clean and sober. I'm extraordinarily excited about the prospect of an LSXX lineup new album. I wish the Pixies all the best and keep an open ear although I haven't liked the new material.
Also, if I had to choose a Breeder to sleep with, it would be Jim. |

Charles was fat back in the day, and he's still fat. Dave and Joe look like older versions of themselves.

All I knows is when I saw The Breeders twice in December in NYC, they were excellent. Enjoyed it as much as, if not more than the Pixies shows in Sept (but not more than January shows....with PAZ) |

And really, the LSXX tour was a huge success, Kim & co look like they're having a blast and overall Kim just looks like she's doing what makes her happy. What's so awful about that? Maybe she enjoys making a scrappy garage rock single rather than touring as the bass player for a band she's outgrown. |

Thompson is probably laughing for a number of reasons, like Kim would probably be getting a bigger cut than Paz is getting.
To be fair, she's looked like a bag lady since 1997.
Srsly, this is why I make fun of her. Having witnessed alcoholism and drug addiction up close when I was a child, I can't understand why people who are otherwise intelligent and attractive take up a path of slow suicide.
Yes, we all get old and looks fade, but looking at her now, it's obvious that a lot of the damage is not from age alone.
Have a look at this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXYjys3bI1k Tanya has aged just as many years as Kim. Have a look at Tanya today, Donelly isn't as nearly as worse for wear.
Moral of the story, stay away from drugs and alcohol.

The Spin interview mentions that Kim has gotten back in touch with former Slint drummer, Britt Walford. Walford (Harry Potter look-a-like) played drums on the original Breeders lineup.
I vaguely remembered an amusing story about Walford, so I did some Googling. The band Jesus Lizard wrote a song about Walford called, Mouth Breather. Mouth Breather describes what took place when Steve Albini recruited Walford as a house sitter. Hysterical.
http://www.thejesuslizard.net/inter/ten.html
quote:
10: What's the story behind Mouthbreather?
D: It's about Britt Walford, from Slint. And Albini had gone out of town for a while, and Britt was watching his house, and one night he just got plowed and lost the keys to the house, so he broke down the door--taking part of the door frame with it. So instead of repairing it, he just nailed it up with a bunch of 2x4s. And he broke a toilet, and it was literally raining piss water in the basement, where there was musical equipment and drums set up, and just splashing piss water over the drums and shit.

Yes it is. They seem to be following her lead. She started the singles series at the very beginning of 2013 (with some white label copies of the first one sold at a show in December '12).
I'd still like to hear her side of the story, as to why she left the Pixies.
BTW, I can empathize with her, my father is suffering from severe dementia. |

Super-bizarre take on that very short interview.
There were also no questions or answers about the Breeders. It was obviously a short interview focused on the single and the collaboration that brought it about.
Very, very weird to assume that questions are off-limits or that someone is refusing to answer them.
Yeah, you're right.

Yeah, you're right. I don't see why anyone would want to ask about her reasons for leaving a seminal American alt band like the Pixies. I mean, who would be interested in that?
As for the new tune, it sounds like late 50s, early 60s garage rock. Derivative and nothing new really. |
