Anyone see the Breeders open for Nirvana at Bender Arena? I actually enjoyed them more than Nirvana. The Boo Radleys played the old club that night, that was a tough show conflict. In retrospect, I think I made the right choice because I got to see the Boos 3 years later.
breeders vs. gay guy
gotta go with the sausage fest on this one. also, haven't the reviews of this breeders tour been less than stellar?
I'm going to check out The Breeders - Too bad R.E.M. isn't on another night… would love to see them again!
The Breeders play tuneless crap.
And the chicks are old and fat.
Remind me what their appeal is?

Well, the appeal to me is that you hate them. That's reason alone for me to check it out. :)
Love is All is playing the ottobar tonight, if anyone was sad about missing out tomorrow…
I saw the Breeders at the ottobar last tour, and unfortunetly, REM and Modest Mouse take the trophy for me on Wednesday.

Not really. All the Breeders records are fantastic! Throw in that Amps record as well!!

Albini tends to get to the core of artists' sound, but I don't think his production enhances anything that's not inherently good.
He also produced Title TK.
Albini uses the term 'recorded' and he worked on their new LP 'Mountain Battles' that, i admit, is a grower..

michael stipe or kim deal?

mobius- i credit josephine wiggs with some of Pod's brilliance too. She's a great bass player. If only her solo records didn't stink on ice.

Hey…I LOVED the Josephine Wiggs Experience record. Mellow and very warm…I still listen to it all the time.
Great Breeders show tonight by the way! "Iris" was a highlight for me. Far better than I anticipated.

Breeders was PHENOMENAL. Sooo amazing, and way better than I expected. Miss P, I don't know where you heard the bad tour reviews, but they were definitely ON for the DC show tonight. THREE Amps songs, three covers, I was a happy camper.

The stretch of Happiness is a Warm Gun through German Studies was amazing. I kept asking for Doe, but Kim said she felt like Barbarella when she sung it. "Not necessarily a bad thing, but…you know" I can't complain with a set like this!
I heard the R.E.M. show was amazing too. My friend was following it online and said they did like 3 songs they NEVER do.

R.E.M. was fucking great. Beautiful night. Modest Mouse with Johnny Marr were a solid solid opener. Stipe with no make-up and looking dapper. Stipe more self confident than ever and his voice still perfect. Great set w/ tons of highlights. Rockville seemed particularly poignant; Fall On Me w/ Marr was great; Ignoreland is better than I remembered; Electrolyte great - every era/phase represented well.
breeders set looks awesome. . . sorry to miss that
