if you listen to any song on repeat for an hour it'd be shit.

If you really like it, I dare you to listen to the second track on repeat for an hour.

haha, nice review!

I can think of a million songs I'd like to play on repeat for hours. How is that a bizarre thing to say?

i cant think of a single song i'd like to listen to on repeat for an hour. It'd get boring surley? Unless its a longer song, in which case you'd only hear like 3 times, so it wouldn't be so bad. But for a 3/4 min song no.

Its a bizarre thing to say because the guy obviously likes the album, he said so. So why does putting a song on repeat for an hour have anything to do with the album? It'd mean something for that song, but like i said it'd get dull whatever the song was.
But you knew what i meant

Okay, my point is, track two is one of the worst songs ever made. The end.

If you think I'm crazy for liking the new Breeders, check this out: I am in LOVE with the Magik Markers album (especially track 3). It took me months of periodically putting the album in, going "ehh, what the hell is this?" until one night everything clicked. There is so much hidden meaning in that album, from the "making & performing art for one's self/making & performing art for others (and then is it really authentic?)" conundrum hinted at in track 3, to the literary references in "Harry Angstrom" (and her empowered retort in the final track: "This is a circle!"). So my point is, just because you don't "get" something, or it doesn't do anything for you, doesn't mean it's bad. There's tons of well-respected bands that I just can't get into (like Wilco), but it's just a matter of what personally moves me. The new Breeders album DOES sound kind of like a joke in spots, and I guess that's part of why I like it so much. Every time I hear "German Studies," it gets funnier and funnier, cause I just picture Kim and Kelley in the basement, goofing around in faux German accents, and totally butchering the language. "Istanbul" is kind of the same--they weren't *really* trying to make a serious song about an exotic location, they were just having fun, seeing how far they could take a random idea (this one presumably about doing drugs and/or changing your state of mind ("..it's not far/it's here/it's where you are"). To me, this album is kind of like a Breeders version of Deerhoof's "Friend Opportunity," except instead of being more accessible than their previous efforts, it's less. But it's just this random, fuzzy patchwork of oddball idiosynchrasies, which to me is a much more interesting portrait of an artist

Hey man whatever you find interesting... I think it's awful personally, but I know there's a fanbase for it. I guess that's why I mentioned TITLE TK above. I loved that album -- something about the darkness and sparseness of a lot of the songs (especially "Off You")... a lot of people hated it, but yeah.

Good response to me, btw, most people respond with "FUCK YOU YOU IDIOT BLAH BLAH YOU INSULTED MY INDIE SACRED CROW!"

fair enough!

I love Title TK for the reasons you mentioned, it sounds really minimal and basic, but also Human (maybe because its recorded in Analogue?)

I love Kim's sense of humour too. Its something that is missing from alot of bands

samuel · 06.10.2008, 08:46 PM

I'm seeing them tomorrow!

Sonic Youth 37 · 06.10.2008, 08:50 PM

I'm seeing them Thursday!

pbradley · 06.10.2008, 08:53 PM

I was actually just watching bits of this dutch documentary on the Breeders. Basically just Kim and Kelly talking about the band and themselves. Really entertaining since they're so cute.

samuel · 06.10.2008, 08:54 PM

Right on! I hope they play Oh! for me.

Yeah, I remember that documentary. They seem beyond cool to me.
