  Last Splash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Last Splash is the second album by indie rock band The Breeders, released August 31, 1993 (see 1993 in music).
Originally formed as a side project for the Pixies' bassist Kim Deal, The Breeders quickly became her primary recording outlet.
Last Splash peaked at #34 on Billboard's Billboard 200 album chart.

The splash screen presented is the one for the controlling primary feature version, translated for the desired locale.
Since the full path of the splash screen file is passed as a parameter, the Eclipse executable launcher can remain completely ignorant of the existence of a splash screen cache and of locale-specific concerns.
Splash file paths are stored in install-relative form to ensure they are usable by any user that locates the install.

 Amazon.co.uk: Last Splash: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
'Last Splash' is undoubtedly one the classic guitar albums of the early nineties, despite the fact that Ive never thought that Kim Deal had the songwriting ability of her ex-sparring partner Frank Black.
Last Splash is slightly less consistent and the pace slows a bit too often for my liking.
'Last Splash' is their most commercial and therefore accessible album to date, but lacks the pace and general wierdness of the other two.

In this oil on stretched canvas, the volcanic tumble of rocks was the perfect foil for a splashing wave that captures the color, movement and light of the sea at sunset.
On the Pacific coast of Oregon, there are numerous locations where this kind of scene repeats itself to the delight of travelers who pause at sundown.
"Last Splash" is a 4 ½" tall by 6 ¼" (if horizontal image) or 6 ¼" X 4 ½" (if vertical image) blank note card (envelope included).

The night's other star was the Ukrainian Yana Klochkova, who joined an elite band when she won last night's 200m individual medley; Klochkova has now won the 200m and 400m IM at two consecutive games.
Kitajima, meanwhile, was passed as "clean" in last night's semi-final by judges, who do not have official access to the underwater cameras.
And it was also from the outside lane that the South African Roland Schoeman, a member of the team that took gold in the 100m freestyle relay, last night became fastest qualifier for tonight's 100m final and pronounced himself a challenger to the Netherlands' world and Olympic record holder, Pieter van den Hoogenband.

 The Breeders : Last Splash - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Thanks to good timing and some great singles, the Breeders' second album, Last Splash, turned them into the alternative rock stars that Kim Deal's former band, the Pixies, always seemed on the verge of becoming.
Building on Safari's driving, polished sound, Last Splash is half-brilliant singles and half-unfinished, uninspired ideas.
One of the definitive alternative rock albums of the '90s, Last Splash is equally inspired and infuriating; that it was the Breeders' last album of that decade makes it even more frustrating.

 the lastsplash
For those who are abit stumbled by the terms "inserted" and "extracted" (no no, its nothing to do with pulling out my teeth or whatever kinky things you are thinking =p), these are fancy military terms for being transported to and out of a place.
Last week was "deployment-preparation-hell-week", and this week, the "actual-deployment-hell-week" continues.
I must admit, in contrast to all that helluva "fire-fighting" last week (in particular till 6 am on one of the days), the toughest part this week is coping with boredom and cranky neckache.

'Last Splash' is definately an album you must acquire a taste for.
Everything about 'Last Splash' is weird, weird, weird, and that's what makes it such a compelling and unique album.

KERRY traders were popping the champagne corks on new year's eve after reaping the benefits of the big euro changeover with shoppers frenetically offloading whatever punts remained in jars or under mattresses in their homes.
Cash registers went into overdrive during the final days of 2001 as shop-pers splashed out on the end-of-year sales prior to the currency changeover.
"There are lots of people around and it is certainly better than last year, though it is very hard to compare the two as the weather this time last year was a nightmare," he said.

EASTPORT — Last week’s graduation and launching ceremony at the Washington County Community College Boat School was filled with mixed emotion and uncertainty.
The irony was not lost to the many who recalled when King proclaimed that “the technology of the present and the future is being taught at The Boat School at Eastport to ensure the marine industry of Maine and America remains healthy and competitive.”
Blanchard who presided over last week’s commencement ceremony said he was not giving up on the program and will do what it takes to makes sure that the program will continue its long and successful history.

Last night, the two-time Olympic medallist saved her best for last to easily win the women's 10-metre tower final at the FINA World Cup Trials and Summer Nationals diving championship at the Pan Am Pool.
"Usually your first and last dives are your most stressful dives," said the 24-year-old from St. Lambert, Que., who scored 9s and 9.5s and a 10 on her final dive -- an inward 3.5 somersault -- to leave silver medallist Marie-Eve Marleau of Laval, Que., in her wake.
The top two finishers in the three- and 10-metre events qualified for the World Cup, providing they met the selection criteria.

Imagine if you can, the spectral spawn of the Ventures, the Ramones and the Beach Boys suddenly washing up with the high tide, and you get some idea of what to expect from The Breeders, a rogue girl group with a fresh point of view.
Elsewhere songs like "Roi" and "Do You Love Me Now?" (the later song a remix from their last EP) bemoan the loss of romantic expectations, even as the heart quickens with hope on "Divine Hammer." Thanks to LAST SPLASH, you may never hear surf music the same way again.
Their second album, 1993's LAST SPLASH, was one of the most popular alternative-rock records of its era.

Following on from last year's greatest hits, this album is a more esoteric look at the Pixies and as such is probably a more representative collection.
Certainly the finest post-Pixies effort 'Last Splash' is pretty damn fine indeed.
The first single 'Cannonball' is a far better indicator of this LP than 'Divine Hammer' and in many ways its constituent parts are a microcosm of the whole album, a bit of pop, noise, heavy rock and weirdness rolled into a damn fine song.

I would get so excited by the wavering, siren-like guitars, that it's surprising the little green Saturn I was driving remained in one piece.
Along with "Cannonball,' the upbeat "Divine Hammer," bass-heavy "Saints," and sweetly sour "Drivin' on 9" make Last Splash a high water mark in '90s power pop.

 Drowned in Sound - Reviews - Album - The Breeders
Chances are you weren't doing what I was doing (getting ready for junior school) but I'm sure what you did was soundtracked by The Breeders' uber-hit 'Cannonball', which took the world by storm.
The album it was taken from, 'Last Splash', was a mix of pure pop, Hawaiian surf music and pointless instrumentals, and the band's first album with the new line up, featuring Kelly Deal - Kim's twin sister - on guitar, although she could barely play a note.
The sad thing about 'Last Splash' is that it sticks to a formula of slow/fast, quiet/loud, as demonstrated by the first track 'New Year'.
