TS: Kim Gordon vs. Kim Deal

Deal's probably otm that releasing the album under a different name from the Breeders was a colossal mistake. You'd think that a follow-up to a huge album would've gotten more attention but it really kind of disappeared.

yeah, I'm a perfect example! already a fan, ready to hear more, missed it completely

Kim Deal is my favorite '90s musician, i think everything she touched that decade is gold and persona-wise she is just really appealing and admirable imo.

sorry kurt

It's always a pleasure to listen to Kim Deal sing.
It's never a pleasure to listen to Kim Gordon sing.

Deal, then.

another point of comparison:
Amps and Free Kitten full-lengths both released 1995 around the same time, I got both, guess which one I held onto

i just went through ohio and played a show in my hometown and this very short gbv cover warms my heart because it is so ohio and so of its time
and her voice, always

haha thx for that, never seen it before

i still think deal and pollard should've made at least four albums together (i guess they had a falling out?)

breeders played it when i saw them at pfork 2013
i remember freaking out (lol)

^ That picture could not be any more '90s.

could prob get a podcast episode out of it

I love the Breeders' version of Gloomtown. I remember first hearing it in Live in Stockholm

Fwiw I spoke to a woman in NYC in 2002 who claimed she interviewed Kim D backstage at a gig and she was openly smoking heroin but I think she went to rehab for alcoholism rather than heroin and that was before the Pixies reformed so suggestion she did the reformation to support her habit doesn't ring true. She admits to taking lots of drugs in the late 90s. Anyway both these women are icons to me and this thread kinda sucks but here I am adding to it so fuck me I guess.

I assume she did the reunion for the money just like every band does

Pretty nice Kim Deal & Robert Pollard collab that flew under the radar:

Kim (& the OG Breeders) is/are still making great music as of 2014:

Freedom Cruise posted a couple posts up was:

Robert Pollard - guitar & vocals
Tobin Sprout - guitar
Jim Pollard - guitar
Jim Greer - bass
Kim Deal - guitar & backing vocals
Kelly Deal - drums & backing vocals

recorded circa Amps - Pacer & GBV - Alien Lanes

So glad Elijah Wood and you guys repped for Amps - Pacer. What a wonderful album I could have easily missed. Pollard only co-written a track but I kept imagining he had some bigger role because a bunch of songs sound a bit Pollardy to me.

I love that 90s picture of Kim + Pollard + whoever those other people are. That guy at the end of the table was he in Pavement? Probably

Yeah that looks like Mark Ibold

Isn't Kim there with former rock journalist/former Mr. Kim Deal/former GBV member Jim Greer?

Lol yeah... Ibold looks nothing like him.
