Kim and Tanya. My middle aged heart feels like it’s 20 again when I watch this. Tanya was bouncing between Throwing Muses, Breeders, and then Belly. A great musician.
@@AuntieSocial76It was not in heavy rotation because I was around 13, never missed an episode of 120 Minutes which I recorded on VHS to watch after school on Mondays and don’t remember having seen this video many times at all.
@@cactaceous i was 15-16 and set it to tape every time it was on because i wasn't supposed to be up that late, i had years' worth of tapes. and i remember seeing it a ton.
I could just sit and listen to ahh and ooh the whole album. The actual lyrics are a bonus with that ethereal, unreal, incredible voice she has. The sound of her voice embodies and brings me back to that time. It's simply amazing.
Kim made Pixies when she was with them and her and her sisters style in The Beeders is just phenomenal and beautifully unique. Rock on beautiful ladies 🤘🏻
Lol it is probably 2 years to late and you already know but just in case yes that's Tanya she was in the original line up and the first album. But concentrated on her own project Belly in the end because of Kim's commitment to the Pixies the 2nd album of the breeders was put on hold for quite some time. Originally I believe that Kim and Tanya were going to share writing Kim writing the first album and Tanya writing the second, I guess this material became Bellys first album.
He didn't cry on a safari In over his knees He couldn't leave a finer life Always hugging the ground And crying out for me He didn't cry on a safari In over his knees He couldn't leave the flock, he couldn't leave Always hugging the man And crying out for me
This is a perfect piece of rock music. It has a heart, it has balls, it is rebellious, it's melodic, it's rough, it's tender, it's awkward. And that mixed presence - partly rock/punk, partly frumpy - is downright funny.
I saw this the day it first aired on MTV and since then I've watched it hundreds of times. At age 50 in 2023 I feel pretty ok saying that this is the greatest music video ever made. Perfect in every way.
In a coupla days. May 17 2023. I will have a four year head start on you. Wow. Fifty four years old. Nobody cares what a 54 year old mans opinion on a music video is. I know. I also know I am inclined to agree with you. Hey. I remember and miss when MTV played music videos. And "The Young Ones" Something I also was. Once. Cheers now you know my birthday I expect scams. I dig presents.
It throws me every time I see Tanya Donnelly playing with the Breeders... and in this video she looks like a young Corin Tucker as played by Scarlet Johansson in a biopic.
Musical perfection. Wet Leg may be sweet as honey but Kim, Kelly & d rest of The Breeders are the original & still champions of all that is powerfully, uniquely cool! 1992: I'm coming back to you, baby! (As soon as I figure out how to work this space-time continuum thing). Electrifying. Like "New Year" et al, "Safari" is a Breeders song w/a simple yet subtly sophisticated structure balancing several highly desirable qualities in rare abundance for a perfect song as listenable as it is iemotionally compelling... ...(in a pilomotor-response-inducing way).
I was praising the Breeders and Wet Leg, a band clearly influenced by the former, and expressing nostalgia for the 90's. No "need to pit women against each other" involved. So methinks thou doth protest too much in the sense of perceiving a negative socio-emotive dynamic which is completely absent, from my comment suggesting at the very least a strong personal schema influencing perception of incoming ideas by filtering them through a lens of hyper-sensitivity to certain undesirable social themes along w/heuristics helping you reach that, in this case at least, false conclusion a little too quickly. Bottom line: I absolutely did not create a women vs women scenario and, really, you're preaching to the choir. So while your reply was certainly well-intentioned, the analysis was flawed by pre-existing awareness of existing undesirable social norms resulting in a flawed conclusion. That being said, the message your words represent is salient re: our society's rampant misogyny. But please, don't lump my innocent comment here as part of that evil.
@@theoddfox6306 so i got off my super lazy ass and looked for the record, apparently its 'john mattock' on this track. the drummer on the rest of the ep. is 'mike hunt' which was a cover name britt walford used ... lol
I'm like obsessed with Tanya in this video. I can't take my eyes off of her. She just possesses this 'otherness'. She's present but she's somewhere else. Like a ghost.
comrade hermit - it's because we're so used to seeing her as the frontwoman....here she's just sort of in the background doing her thing, and when the focus -is- on her, you can't help but think IT'S TANYA F'ING DONNELLY...but she's just playing guitar.
i used to love that AMPS record. I was starting to think it was a mandella effect or something or i was just imagining it or dreamt it all up or something
Don't know just what it is about that trucker-momma body language that makes Kim so attractive,but it is irresistible. I love that little "hiccup" she does at 1:59.
They came back home and gave us a free show to support us after the tornado, then mass shooting. They were awesome and I can't thank them enough. I discovered this song when I was about 14. I would see it on Alternative Edge on the Dayton access channel. I fell in love right away. It's one of my all time favorites. The Breeders will always be on of the coolest bands ever ❤️🤘
Ahhh the nostalgia is giving me shivers! Breeder and The Pixies were the soundtrack of my youth. Before the internet when u were at a mates place or a party and were like ...who is this? Then bootlegging a tape until I could afford to buy on CD.
Same sort of memories.The early 90’s really had some cool bands and sounds.Golden time in my life.All turned bad when Oasis turned up.I didn’t care for them or Blur or the ‘Britpop’ scene.That whole thing was media blown and establishment directed.It looked too backward and music suffered. But the Rockers and Ravers of the early 90’s hit it so fresh and cool.The Breeders being the cherry on top.I can still play there music today and it still rocks hard.Who listens to Blur albums now.?Oasis just mainly have a couple of there overplayed tracks played and.?Put Oasis up against The Pixies, Nirvana,The Breeders,Foo Fighters and they would sound like a pub band.
Britt Walford on drums. Ex-Slint founder / drummer. He was a huge part of Spiderland. He also played on all of Pod, though possibly uncredited. He had a habit of leaving bands inc this one soon after this.
greeneking77 Tanya left both Throwing Muses and The Breeders to form Belly. She was in Throwing Muses ca. 1983 to 1992, and The Breeders from 1989 to 1992. Belly formed after that, in 1992.
Damn. WTF man. 30 yrs now and STILL crushing on the Deal sisters!! Love The Breeders old and NEW stuff. Great tune. Needed a third verse to make it better. But still addictive. Kim is gorgeous! Happy New Year everyone!!
Just watched the Black Sabbath video for 'Iron Man' on MTV Classic, which is the video that this awesome song from the Breeders is spoofing with this vid.
This is one of my favorite periods in music. For a minute there, the grunge-writers had the world by the balls, and they were able to capitalize on some amazingly real music. Notice that in this video nobody is in a bikini or bathing suit, and the music itself is presented without any bells and whistles. When I saw the Breeders in SF and San Jose, they presented themselves as actual human-being with a voice that needed to be heard. I don't know what happened with modern music. The pendulum swung and now we're left with over-produced tunes that have no grit. Perhaps the modern kids will throw away the bubble-gum music and make way for songs that are heart-felt and real.
You are damn right, but, I believe, time has yet to come and everything will be back on the right track and common sense will rise upon all that nowadays idiocracy. By the way, this is not grunge - this is indie.
27/09/14 Who cares what kind of a box you would put theBreeders in ? This is just my humble opinion, but I think we are all in agreement that bands like theBreeders, thePixies, theThrowingMuses etc etc ect ....were all damned fine rock'n'roll bands that gave birth too, but were not essentially classed as, a grunge band (Nirvana came after). I still listen to all these 4AD bands. If I hear Nirvana these days I have to leave and can only just stomach theFooFighters. I love theBreeders. They are all time, rock'n'roll super heros. Sj
Been loving the sweet tunes from Kim since Gigantic was etched into my brain in the 90's, Pod and Last splash are my go-to albums when I tire of all the over processed crap that dominates the radio. Life is good when you have a Breeders song stuck in your head. Thanks Kim & Kelly, keep on rockin.
+namenottakenyet555 a good buddy of mine chatted to her after a gig and commented on that. She told him that she'd just come from work and hadn't changed.
I really like when a band invents or breaks into the big league with a sound of their own , renewing rock n roll in their own little way. Just like breeders. They are one of my favorit bands , among many others. Like hendrix , led z , sex pistols , early metallica , faith no more , rage against the machine and nirvana.
I agree but the reason for the Pixie's split was Kim feeling she wasn't getting enough credit from Black Francis (Kurt Cobain said 'I wish Kim Deal was allowed to write more Pixie's songs'). So arguably Pixies' songs sound like the Breeders.
I saw them with this lineup except for Tanya Donnelly at the Independent in SF. One of the best shows I've seen. They were all clean and sober, looked happy, enjoying themselves as much as the audience was, they sounded great and they played every single song I wanted to hear, including this one. Thanks, guys, for a wish fulfilled.
The Independent would still have been the Kennel Club at that time; it wasn't the Independent until 2004. I never saw the Breeders there, but I did see them at Slim's on Nov. 4, 1992. Tanya was already gone, but I don't recall who was on drums. Was it already Jim at that point? I was in the front row and got to shake Kim's hand at the end of the show. :-)
@@zimports Oh, you mean the *15th Anniversary* of Title TK in 2017! I missed that show, but I did see them at the Masonic five months later. The Independent is such a small venue, it must have sold out super-fast; congrats on getting tickets! The most memorable Breeders concert for me was their Last Splash 20th Anniversary show at the Fillmore in 2013. Now THAT was an amazing show: Last Splash in its entirety, then Pod in its entirety for the encore!
Did Tanya Donelly ever sing lead on any of the Breeders’ songs? Tanya has such an awesome melodic voice she sounds so good when she sings Feed the Tree for Belly and when she sings Not Too Soon lead for Throwing Muses.
The 1st album were Kim songs & the 2nd was supposed to be Tanya songs... Tanya had already written Gepetto as a Breeders song but then the pixies went on tour for like a year & Tanya ended up forming the Breeders & Gepetto became their big hit... so NOPE... coulda woulda shoulda... but did not happen... too bad the breeders with both Tanya & Kim would have been an EPIC band... still love everything belly has done... but three albums in like 30 years I think Tanya could have been in the Breeders & Belly... did not happen... here tho to make you feel better: Belly - Gepetto (Video) [ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gQlk8eKdIIA.html ]
Damn i wish they would've kept up that guitar feedback stuff at the end for a little while longer. Throwing Muses were great contemporary of Breeders. Kristen Hersh a force of her own.
I've always done that quick double breath draw myself. Quite involuntarily, of course, and I still have no idea what it is. Some sort of spasm of the diaphragm, I suppose....
Agree, but actually also the most underrated lead guitarist with the throwing muses. Great atmospherics and tones and interesting changes. Probably one of the best, listen to Say goodbye or Hook in her head. The fact she moved to rhythm with Belly is testament to her need to get more of her songs heard by leading a group as singer. It was clear that wouldn't happen with the Breeders or the Muses who both had other strong front women in Kim and Kristin.
From the only Breeders record when both Tanya Donelly and Kelley Deal were in the band at the same time. With the drummer from Spacemen 3 & Spiritualized on this track. It doesn't get much better
Breeders great Let's all agree, and too short-lived But cool music then and still sounds fresh, interesting and damn good now 4ad had some damn good bands in the late80's/early90's Pretty good batch now in truth
What an awesome timeless piece of art in music. These guitar-riffs, these band members (not only Kim is cool, Tanya is cool, too), the dynamic which is in this song - great. Will forever love it :-)
Being a teenager in the 90ies and and having been (and still am) a big fan of all that american indie stuff like pavement, sebadoh, guided by voices, built to spill etc I really can't explain why I missed this beautiful piece of music and discovered it only 25 years later. Maybe I was so annoyed by the omnipresent cannonball that I ignored the breeders in total. Really can't recall why. Shame on me.. Favorite old (new to me) song for 2018 so far.
Not sure what's wrong with Cannonball. It was a good song too. Any song has the potential to blow up to annoying radio play levels. That isn't always a bad thing. You want Wrecking Ball or Cannonball? See what I did there?
