The Breeders // 1989-1990
" While the band's first record [Pod, 1990] wasn't initially a commercial success, the band had developed a following among indie rock fans and praises from people such as Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who cited Pod as one of his all-time favorite albums, the band prepared to record their next album.

Anonymous asked:
may I ask about any/all of 'in the garden' for 8, and 10 (specifically how the graeme/lockett pairing come to be as you were writing it)?
mwahahahaha yes... YES! i will always talk about these stories and specifically about g&l.
8. did any real people or events inspire any part of it?
as is perhaps obvious, graeme is some unholy melange of graham coxon, britt walford, and mike mills. britt walford of slint went to edinburgh to record pod with the breeders when he was 19 years old (that's him in drag in this video) -- that is sort of the key reference in my mind for graeme's trajectory and story. lockett is named after the guitarist lockett pundt from deerhunter and is similarly a good friend but a bit of a pushover who will put up with a lot in exchange for being seen (though he is less beautiful than his namesake).
of all the characters in all my stories, graeme and lockett are the most like me. especially lockett.
10. why did you choose this pairing for this particular story?
the craziest thing is that this was 20000% not supposed to happen. before i wrote minuet, i had actually thought about getting graeme and sal together. (somebody write a fic please???) when i realized what i was doing while writing graeme and lockett's long conversation at the end of minuet i made this post, on april 15, 2018. now it has been over three years of me very carefully probing all my deepest insecurities and writing the longest and plottiest things i've ever written and writing weird out-there AUs and learning insane amounts about nineties music in order to figure out how to give them a happy ending. and i am about 70% of the way there!

Slint in Select Magazine - September 2000
Words by Pat Long
One letter allegedly came from PJ Harvey, a rumour that turns out to be entirely true. “We didn’t really go into it too much in the documentary,” says Pajo. “We were going to re-print the letter she sent us in the photo book as it was really cool but we asked her first if it was okay and she said it was a personal letter and she would prefer it if we didn’t, so out of respect for her we didn’t want to talk about that too much.
just found out PJ Harvey answered a public call from Slint for female vocalists before they broke up (!!!!!)
Round 2 Poll 21
Creative Living With A New And Improved Me：
The Struggle： 「This song and this band in general are so fucking good but virtually nobody knows about about them, which is really odd since the band members went on to form Slint, which is a huge band, and though not the same vibe the songs are really good nevertheless. Anyways the instrumental is so intense, especially the drums? god the drums are incredible, I am obsessed, Britt Walford is just a terrific drummer. Also the whole album is just incredible, especially if you're into the hardcore/post-hardcore.
i can only find the whole album on youtube but it's the opener」

The Breeders - "Safari" From the EP Safari (April 6, 1992)
Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm
Love Britt Walford's drumming here.
She peeked around the corner
She offered me her hand
My teeth touched her skin
Then she was gone again
Now my queen is fine
In her early grave
After that girl I'll keep her warm
There's nothing more to save
