Kim was very classy about the whole break up.

I’ve been blessed to see Pixies twice with Kim in the band, the first show in 1992 and the last on the reunion tour in 2004.

You are THE Breeders archivist and I appreciate all that you post!!! Especially interviews and there don’t seem to be a lot of them. Thank you!!!!

I think Deal is a brilliant person. She is odd, but that is part of being an artist who is genuine.

I love how she beeps the phone 1:16 , it's like banging her head on the wall. Thank you for this.

Kim Deal is so lovely ♥

It's so refreshing to hear someone as classy as Kim not piss and moan and blame everyone else, ie Courtney Love style. They may not have been close by the end but at least they respected each other and the band enough to not shit on their legacy.

I remember listening to this at the time. Big fan of Richard Kingsmill and an even bigger fan of Miss Deal. Takes me back.

A month ago, I was talking to a friend of mine and I said “I kind of wouldn’t want to see the Pixies without Kim Deal”, so I googled The Pixies new bass player and Kim Shattuck came up, now I can’t stop listening to Kim Shattuck’s band The Muffs. They’re great! Unfortunately Kim Shattuck tragically died in 2019. Which is awful. This new chick, Paz, is technically good but I don’t think I’d go see the Pixies without Kim Deal being back in the band. I enjoyed the interview. I’m going to enjoy some Kim Deal and the Breeders now and Kim Shattuck and The Muffs.

great stuff, thanks! nice artwork too

Excellent point about journalists reducing other projects by constantly bringing up the Pixies. And they were just a band. Often great, sometimes not at all. It's all subjective. Millions and millions of rock fans never bought a Pixies album... that said, great great interview!

Saw the pixies play when I was 15 years old at the Academy in New York City- had a huge crush on Kim then and still do now LOL. What a fucking cool woman. Saw her play with the breeders in Portland Oregon almost a decade later. So grateful that there are still people like this among Us who know who they are, know what matters to them and why and are not afraid to be that out LOUD. ♥️

I saw The Breeders first tour when they played The Masquerade in Atlanta in the early 90's. I went in blind. Never even heard of Cannonball yet. They blew my mind!!! I just wanted to see a band on a Saturday night back when ticket prices were not crazy and you could take a chance to discover fresh sounds.

I adore Kim Deal, and all she’s accomplished! I enjoyed The Breeders as a teen! That said, I’m really disappointed as The Pixies is my favorite band of all time. However, I was a fan that bought several albums way back when. I still listen to the pixies every day. The older stuff, with Deal. Respecting people and their projects is super important… also respecting people when they say they don’t wanna talk about something is also important.

she is the aunt I want.

Bartender psychology 101. Holy cow she is such a card. 🤣

Chillbumps x

Neat interview.

The interviewer makes me embarrassed to be Australian - and I'm not even Australian.

Kim is right.

30 freaking years ago!

You were my favorite bass player ever

I find it strange that this is my first time hearing her talking voice. Damn, I was born in 95 and I grew up on her music in my childhood.

i have a 3 hour breeders radio special from triple j, ive offered it to you to upload.

As a child/teenager you want bands to just keep going forever, but as you age and become an adult you take on an attitude that 2-5 years is a good, long time to be on a project, things get stale, then it's time to try other stuff. The bands that DO try to stay together forever end up making 30 years of stale material.

If artists don't wanna talk about something, respect their boundaries and back off. Unless you're doing investigative work and asking questions to hold some public official accountable, it's not your place to violate someone's integrity. #journalismethics

Arguably the coolest woman ever

She's a legend to me Pixies changed upped my love for music on a massive scale in the 80s and I love the dig at our press ( UK ) She's not wrong we have the most appalling press in the UK.

Kim is a total badass. An amazing musician.

Well Kim, I must disagree. Hearing you sing rocks MY world!

Richard Kingsmill is the most cringe interviewer, it's a massive shame he has the experience and influence he does, years of ruining interviews to inflate his ego as a journalist and music director.

💋💋💋💋💋💗💋💋💋💋💋

What song is that at 2:23

Both Black and Kim try not to talk about but nobody stips asking lol

Charles didn't want to do solo stuff, he wanted Kim out of the band because she thought that she should sing lead on more songs and was being disruptive. She's a backup singer and he's a first class songsmith and a great lead singer.

Kim deal Kim Gordon Kim Shattuck.cool as fuck bassist's.

Well Charles is quite a bit more than the "lead singer", while talking 'bout reducing things or bands or people ...

I wish Deal were on camera because I think she is really attractive.

I know it may sound crazy to a lot of people but Kim deal is my 2nd cousin 2x removed and my grandma is 2nd cousins with her no times removed they even met at a family reunion when Kim was 19 they had a photo of it and everything

The ok interviewer is extremely obnoxious

The interviewer is rude and condescending

Poor Kim, such a relentlessly dumb interviewer

*I find it odd that Joey and Dave are never harangued over Pixies as Frank and Kim are. The musicians make the band NOT the singer/songwriter. LAST SPLASH is a brilliant record. The beginning of Cannonball was thought of because as a result of using a 'bleep', I'm sure*
