Amazon.com: Title TK: Music: The Breeders In fact, though deeply sincere, the Breeders sound quite content and comfortable in their new setting casting an air of cynicism or mellowness in their knowledge that this is not merely a last splash followup for everyone who loved cannonball. The new album Title TK may be a new direction for the Breeders, hardly avoidable with an almost completely new band, but the song quality and brilliant pop ingenuity hasn't lessened a bit. But with a sense of humor, like in the ridiculous intro to "London Song." And as always with the Breeders there is really strong melody. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000063UZ8?v=glance   (1482 words)

Tower Records - Last Splash - The Breeders On a raveup like "Cannonball," fired by a dancing, jittery bass line and moody, careening power chords, the Breeders evoke girl group harmonies to suggest romantic surrender and its dark side. Hard edged yet supremely lyrical, The Breeders spend much of LAST SPLASH groping their way through the contradictions of good times in the sun and their ambivalence about the loss of innocence. Comprised of former members of the Throwing Muses and the Pixies, the Breeders' riot grrrl brand of surf punk owes little to the happy naivete of the Ronettes or the Bangles. www.towerrecords.com /product.aspx?pfid=1017753   (467 words)

Cannonball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cannonball is a hit song by The Breeders for their album Last Splash Cannonball Adderley, an extremely talented jazz alto saxophonist. In his honor, the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (aka "The Cannonball Run") was created. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cannonball   (176 words)

The Greatest Band Of All Time - Do You Love Me Now?: Kim Deal Kim's beautifully layered, often totally obscured vocals singing siren songs in a style so singular and distinct that they should be patented, the stutter stopped and sludgy beauty, the crazy number of instrumentals, and one of the weirdest hit singles of any era (seriously, have you ever listened to "Cannonball"? I must also point out that Kim is from DAYTON, OHIO and that her duet of "Love Hurts" with Robert Pollard on the Love & a.45 soundtrack is beautiful and haunting and that Pollard wrote a song on Pacer (for which he is uncredited) called "I Am Decided" and that is a rad song. We've already talked about Last Splash, so let's move on to my second rendezvous with the lady Deal--this time one year later touring behind Pacer, the one and only album released by her poorly-received Breeders side-project (formed while Kelley was in one of her frequent rehab stints) called The Amps. www.urbanhonking.com /greatestband/archives/2005/08/kim_deal.html   (992 words)

Amazon.com: Last Splash (Canada) [IMPORT]: Music More polished than the group's raw and acclaimed debut Pod, Last Splash contains the Breeders biggest song "Cannonball" as well as "Divine Hammer" but the coolest songs on the album are the abstract "Mad Lucas" and "Roi" and the surfer "Flipside" and "SOS". Another notable is the country driven "Drivin' on 9" which is one of the songs Kim put on the album because she felt it had to be longer than Pod. Kim Deal who left the Pixies due to a falling out with Frank Black proves that she's better with the Breeders in the smash Last Splash. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00004Y82G?v=glance   (372 words)

Kurt St. Thomas - The Secret History of the Breeders both Verbal and Musical Kelley explains." - ST THOMAS "That was actually from the Pod recordings, that song was, and it didn't cut the mustard at that time, but I remember hearing that on the tape and I just never forgot, I thought it was such a rock song. Josephine's 900 which appears on the Cannonball CD-single is the sad but true story of a failed expedition to the Antarctic." - ST THOMAS "In the mid 19th century when they were first crossing the Arctic, this is one of the first sea expeditions that were supplied with tinned food. Kim explains." - ST THOMAS "So we were doing Safari and Tanya was playing, and she didn't think she was going to make it to do the recordings in New York City because she was busy with the Gorman brothers and Fred Abong getting Belly together. www.corporatesucker.com /breeders.html   (372 words)

The Pixies : Biography The British music press Pixies attention was diverted to the Breeders who, with a new drummer, Jim MacPherson, and without Tanya, who had formed Belly at this time, released The Last Splash album and the classic Cannonball single. Down to the Well was written shortly after David joined, and was, in fact, the first song that the four of them rehearsed together. The name eventually became The Pixies and their drummer was replaced by David Lovering at the suggestion of Kim Deal - herself, the only person to reply to an advert they placed in a Boston paper... www.fortunecity.com /tinpan/drumandbass/1266/biography.htm   (2604 words)

Team Clermont comes a cropper! Jason Ward of the Weather Machines has an exceptional grasp on the use of rhythm and space as a way to create a pop hook (think the Breeders' "Cannonball" or the Kinks' "I Need You" for further great examples of this) or, heck, a whole song. Christopher Ward: we are releasing a 12" vinyl of stowaway on alone records in the spring Christopher Ward: Jon, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. teamclermont.blogspot.com   (8859 words)
