  Breeders: Title TK: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Title TK also contains two unexpectedly beautiful songs-- the disarmingly spare "Off You," with its lonesome guitar and gorgeous bass solo, is some of the creepiest headphone listening since The Wall.
"Title TK" is journalistic shorthand for "title to come," and Title TK does feel incomplete in many ways-- from the hand-scribbled song titles on the back sleeve to the sometimes tuneless (and always somewhat haphazard) delivery of the vocals.
When Title TK loses people-- and I suspect it'll lose many-- it'll be with the langorous, abstract half-songs like "Put on a Side" (a listless anti-song built around a fretless bass groove, spare guitar and a single piano note) or "Sinister Foxx" (largely a meditation on the repeated phrase "Has anyone seen the iguana?").

 The Breeders "Title TK"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Title TK marks an almost 10 year gap since the Breeder's wildly popular Last Splash, and those patiently waiting must be pardoned for their doubts as to whether the Breeder Mothership wasn't permantly lost in space.
Those who actually remembered the existance of "Cannonball," or the Breeders at all can't be blamed for expecting Title TK to pay off in spades for their patience.
TK bears a closer stylistic resemblance to Kim Deal's 'solo' album under the monicker The Amps than anything else.

 Title TK: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
From its very name, Title TK (journalistic shorthand for "title to come") reflects this: It's a surprisingly low-key, self-effacing return that doesn't feel like an attempt at reclaiming Last Splash's glory.
There's a fascinating duality to Title TK, from the way that nearly every song mixes and blends Kim and Kelley's not-quite-identical vocals to the way it switches between sweet, playfully spiky songs like "Son of Three" and "Forced to Drive" and dark, mysterious tracks.
Title TK isn't always a flattering portrait of the Breeders, but it is an admirably honest one.

 RTE.ie Entertainment - The Breeders - Title TK
It's a testament to the affection The Breeders are held in that nine years since their last record, people haven't forgotten about Kim and Kelley Deal and are queuing up for 'Title TK'.
'Title TK' is a rougher creation, recalling their debut 'Pod' more than the chart success they enjoyed with songs like 'Cannonball' and 'Divine Hammer'.
It's not the all amps roaring comeback that many wanted but 'Title TK' has a great low-key charm and the indie throne is there for The Breeders' taking once again.

Title TK is a welcome return for Kim Deal, and ranks as her peak artistic statement to date.
On "London Song" she sings, "I'm leaking pure white noise" and with Title TK she backs up that statement with a record that hearkens the beginning of an All Wave movement more artists might consider latching onto.

 Fast 'n' Bulbous Reviews: The Breeders * Title TK (4AD/Elektra, 2002)
While the suits at Elektra have probably already pulled the plug on promoting the new Breeders album, Title TK, and are scheming how to get rid of them, it's the perfect follow-up to their 1992 Safari EP, as if Last Splash ('93) never happened.
Title TK is like that term paper that you procrastinate until the night before, then burn through it on all cylinders all night and end up with something that is inspired, if somewhat ragged.
Title TK is a modest anti-epic that was still worth the wait.

For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document).
List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.

 Charming Python: TK programming in Python
TK is a widely used graphics library most closely associated with the TCL language, both developed by John Ousterhout.
Along with setting configuration options, the TK wrapper also includes a scrolling help box built with the TK Text widget (an about box with the Message widget) and a history window that exercises TK's dynamic geometry management.
One nice thing is that the TK library may be accessed by many languages other than Python, so what you learn using Python's Tkinter module is mostly transferable to other languages.

 The Breeders: Title TK (2002): Reviews
A comeback of sorts, 'Title TK' comes a full nine years after The Breeders' previous effort (1993's 'Last Splash') and sees the group with a new lineup (only Kim Deal and sister Kelley remain) and producer (Steve Albini).
Title TK picks up where Pod left off in 1989, with a jagged sound nowhere near as tight as the Pixies' but a heartfelt enthusiasm for creating music.

 Rolling Stone : Title TK : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Despite the frequent jokes in the lyrics, Title TK is almost painfully intimate.
Kim's girlish (or is it boyish?) voice grinds sweetly, weariedly, sloppily inside your brain: "Better I, better I stayed up," she repeats throughout "Put on a Side," while a single bass-guitar note thrums and bends.
Title TK is absolutely beautiful, but only a fiend would find it merely so.

 Title TK - The Breeders - Song Listings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
For most of the '90s, the Breeders seemed resigned to being just a part of alternative rock's mythology: a lightning-in-a-bottle success story that helped define the era's sound and spawned a classic single before disappearing into substance abuse and a severe case of writer's block.
With its brooding, druggy allure, "The She" recalls Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit," and "Put On a Side" and the aptly named "Sinister Foxx" have a sexy menace that the Breeders haven't explored since Pod.
"Off You," Title TK's first single, is about as far from "Cannonball" as the band can get, a dreamy, breathy ballad that sounds intimate but masks its feelings in beautifully cryptic imagery.

 "Title TK" by The Breeders - zBoneman Music Reviews
The Breeders aptly titled (91 release) Last Splash looked, for all the world, to be the last we'd hear from Kim.
I expected something beyond where she left off with Last Splash, I imagined TK to be bulging with 10 years worth of pent-up brilliance--not quite the case I'm afraid.
Much like the Breeders first album, Pod, TK relies on the same kind of angular, scarcely arranged, lo-fi anti-pop that occasionally evince glimpses of her former brilliance, but few of the songs really go anywhere and rarely hit pay dirt.

But in 2002, the sisters finally got it back together, and with the help of three friends from their new home of East Los Angeles, Breeders MK 3 released Title TK and wrote another chapter in their musical careers and lives.
But after repeated listens, Title TK congeals into a beautiful little slice of fuzz-rock-pop, or whatever you want to call it.
Title TK doesn't feel like a follow-up to anything, it's a pearl of an album in its own right, and a welcome return to the spotlight for the talented songwriter and her cronies.

 NME.COM - Reviews - Breeders : Title TK
In the nine years between the last Breeders album and this one, the musical landscape might have changed beyond almost all recognition - but on first meeting with 'Title TK', you could be forgiven for thinking nothing has changed at all.
That she and The Breeders would return from it having produced something quite as good as 'Title TK', however, probably wasn't.
As playful musically, 'Title TK' has a cumulative effect, a series of snapshots of dark punk ('Little Fury', 'Son Of Three'), soft ballad ('Off You'), and a couple of songs like 'Sinister Foxx' which are a bit like Deal's former employers the Pixies.

But thankfully they’re back with a vengeance because Title TK is way better than we have right to expect from such damaged individuals.
There a couple of fillers on here, but tracks like Sinister Foxx with it’s bizarre chorus ‘has anyone seen the iguana’ are adverts for just say no. Title TX closes with vintage Breeders track Huffer as the Deals return to their garage punk roots.

 Title TK | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
Bands can't buy the sort of mythology that's gone into Title TK, but mythology and $2.98 will buy a copy of Last Splash at any used-record store.
As if aware of the missed opportunities and lost time—and certainly aware of the scars left by years of infighting—the Deals (working with members of Fear) imbue Title TK with a sense of portentous sadness.
As a whole, Title TK comes off as unglued in an almost perversely restrained, even uneventful way, especially on the plodding likes of "Off You." Buzzy and static, the album's seething midsection occasionally just seems dull, making it easy to forget that it's generating a sound at all.

 ROCKZONE.COM: CD Reviews: The Breeders - Title TK
Every review I’ve read in major media publications has raved about this album, and they should, but what pisses me off is that the critics are searching for a new “Cannonball” to hail before it hit’s the radio.
Now this album may not be an easy pill to swallow for fans that were introduced to the band through Last Splash and either never heard of disliked Pod.
Title TK is a lot more in that vein.

 ToxicUniverse.com - Breeders, The - May 21, 2002 - Title TK Music Review
I stand by ability of Pod to rank in the canon as one of the greatest albums of the '90s, and the pop-perfection that is "Divine Hammer." I even stood by The Breeders these past few years when most doubted the possibility of their return to the limelight.
In an aesthetic as unpolished and incomplete as the title itself ("Title to come"), as well as once again recruiting no-help help from Steve Albini, The Breeders beg the listener to ask the question of exactly what they have been doing these past nine years.
Plus it is of note that Last Splash came out before Weezer debuted, and Title TK came out a year after Weezer's not-so-triumphant return.

 The Breeders Give Birth To Confusion in 'Title Tk'
"Title TK" indicates The Breeders' troubles aren't all behind them.
As decidedly noncommercial as its predecessor, "Title TK" is more of a glorified stoner's album than a vivacious enigma.
Engineered by Steve Albini, "Title TK" has more solid footing in the other-world country romp "Full on Idle," the rhythmic roil "Huffer" and an off-kilter "Too Alive" tethered to an irregular beat.

THE BREEDERS - Title TK THE BREEDERS - Title TK
The Breeders finally return with a comeback record worthy of the marvellous Pod album (let’s forget about the dissapointing ‘Last Splash’), a record that’s stripped down to a bare guitars, drums and bass workout that allows the magnificent song-writing to come to the fore.
The mesmerising single track ‘off you’ still shines as the most moving moment across these 12 track, but from start to finish ‘Title TK’ is a highly enjoyable record from a lost legend and her strumming friends.

 The Breeders - Title TK (4AD)
The Deal sisters are back with an entirely new backing band and a hot new album recorded by the best in the business, Steve Albini.
The high point of the album for me appears on the last track, "Huffer," when flashes of Breeders past come alive as the tempo speeds up and the guitars start to rock out.
All in all, Title TK is a bit of a let down only in that I had wished for so much more.

Considering their last album was released in 1993, you'd think the Breeders could have come up with an album title in that time.
Instead, they named their new release Title TK, which in journalism jargon means "title to come" — used when information is still forthcoming.
As for "Little Fury," Kim explained that the title comes from pocketknives that are sold at truck stops with the word "fury" across the blade.
