The Breeders were one of the first 10 artists I bought when i was 8 years old. First, I loved Last Splash because it was just fun. As I grew into my teen years the album took on a lot of meaning for me and in my 20's the Breeders were always what I needed when I felt hopeless. Kim Deal's Voice has been a warm blanket after my tragedies, and for that I will always be grateful.

As an older guy who saw the Pixies at the Lone Star in Kansas City in '88, I should give you a helpful heads-up here, and also some encouragement. The Deals, and the other Breeders (and Frank Black and the rest of the Pixies, etc) are gifted, but their approach to "learning guitar [or any instrument] and songwriting," is a kind of non-technical, intuitive, and intentionally naive one. (This is not a put-down of those people.) It is not like going to Guitar Institute of Technology, or being harangued by a gnarled old guitar teacher who nags at you to learn all the scales in all the keys, and corrects you if you use your thumb instead of a barre to get the bass note in a bar chord. The do-it-yourself approach works for the Deals because they have some kind of perfect pitch and telepathic talent. One of the reasons they never get bored or intellectually impatient with this approach, or decided to become virtuosos or jazz musicians or study music theory, etc, is because having alcohol-and-drug related "fun" held them back from such busy work. Again, not a put-down--from a musical standpoint anyway. However, I would strongly advise you NOT to do drugs or drink heavily.

WoW 🎶 didn't know a single song but was F'ing MESMERIZED ! HATS-OFF Y'ALL 👍

wow. just hearing kim sing in this acoustic setting is such a treat. let alone the original line up in such an intimate setting.

Kim Deal is the women of my dreams. She’s the best musician, I love her!!!!! The breeders still the best 🖤🖤🖤🖤

David Lynch should have incorporated the Breeders into his Twin Peaks soundtrack from the Roadhouse along with the Chromatics, Au Revoire Simone, Eddie Vetter, Nine Inch Nails, The Veils among others. The lyrics and how the Breeders incorporate rhythm and melody together is unique and makes Kim Deal's Breeders one of the best along with her former band The Pixies. Thanks for posting this, another gem from the NPR small desk.

the Deal sisters are a force of nature. i ran to this album over and over and over after i had an unfortunate heart attack at 46. i oved this song the most . it would make me cry and i had no idea why.

That was wonderful! I'm so happy to see them again. Feels like coming home a little bit.

Josephine is such a talent, she can literally play anything!

Yes. Breeders magic.

30 yrs on ...and I'm STILL crushing on the Deal twins!!! Amazing.

06:38 - honestly, one of my favorite songs ever. also Kim looks really good

Kim has such a beautiful voice! And they have so much fun playing. Wonderful!

Kim looks like she is having a great time. Well, whichever one is on lead vocals, I can't tell them apart sometimes. I like the way she plays the guitar on "Off You", almost vertically like a classical guitar or stand up bass.

This is like a dream come true! They were at my very first 2 concerts. I saw them open up for the Smashing Pumpkins in 94 in Williamsburg, VA. Then saw them 4 months later in Raleigh, NC at Lollapalooza. All at age 14!! Thanks to my big sis!

So stoked they played off you!! Thank you Breeders and NPR!!
