Desert Island Discourse

It's been a long time since we've had a visitor to these distant desert shores, but we couldn't ask for a better co-castaway than poet, cover artist, and general raconteur Haley Rene Thompson, who's joining us to talk about one of the world's most underrated supergroups: The Breeders. Over four albums and 28 years (!), Kim and Kelley Deal's eccentric and electric indie-pop-punk-whatever group has released a body of music that defies expectation and explanation, but that's not gonna stop us from trying to analyze the shit out of these fantastic tracks. Join us on this rough and wild journey through the deepest realms of songcraft, twin-speak, and staying up way past out bedtimes. Also: Andrew becomes the perfect parent, Haley compares Kim to a Japanese modernist, and Max gets kicked off her own dang podcast. / Music Lord of the Thighs Oh Doe Metal Man Cannonball Divine Hammer Drivin’ on 9 The She Off You Sinister Foxx Night of Joy Overglazed Bang On So Sad About Us
