Kim was the only girl allowed in the monument's club, Pollard's circle of close friends, if I'm not mistaken

Pollard's a major sports fan and former college jock and he's written at least 452 songs that comment on life and rock music through sports metaphors. And my theory is that his vision for his bands is that they're kind of like a sports team, which means all guys. Drinking buddies. A brotherhood. Just like the Pixies dynamic needs a female presence, the Guided by Voices dynamic is 100% masculine. No big deal.
In any case, Pollard has spoken very highly of the Breeders' music. |

So anyway, all I wanted to do was be in bands. That’s all I wanted to do. I was so bummed out because rock bands do not want girls in their band at all. There were just no girls in the bands in Dayton, Ohio. Even Pollard from GBV would say “no bleeders.” And he’s acting like he’s joking but everyone knows he’s not joking. “No bleeders in the band.” So I always just wanted to be in bands and no one around here would play.
bleeders, breeders. could that have been the inspiration for the band name?
 it's educational
Kim was calling it the Breeders before her association with Pollard. He was insulting her. |
