I really like this video. There's a song, then an interview, like all other musical guests. But I like this version of "Divine Hammer" particularly. Even though it's the one blatantly pop on Last Splash. Who cares. It's my favorite song on the album (sorry "Cannonball" and "I Just Want To Get Along." You guys are close seconds) Not only are there "happy people playing billiards" in the background, but Kelley breaks a guitar string (at about 1:50), then flubs some of her parts. I don't blame her. I've broken strings before, and it's not easy to play afterwards. Then both her and Kim miss the first part of the last chorus (maybe on purpose, not sure). Then there's the interview. And warning; Conan's jokes suck here. The interview's totally about the Breeders. And it's hilarious. I'm not going to ruin any of the jokes ("lazy one!"), but Jim: you're stupid. Sleep can't be THAT important. Just kidding Jim, you're awesome. Pod is the better album, but I think I like the Last Splash lineup more. They play well together. And that's also the version of the Breeders that played as an opening act for Nirvana.
I guess I like it when audio is a bit worse then usual. But not generation-mp3 audio hiss. Sometimes a song is recorded with certain equipment, and the audio is slightly distorted. In certain cases, that can make the song much more fun to listen to.
Observe. Okay quality picture. Obviously recorded with open mic. Maybe the sound is a bit harsh to some. To me it's ear candy. Dave's drums get excellent, ominous sounding reverb out of the big stadium, guitar and vocals get heavy sound. Awesome. But like any candy, too much is bad for you, and can hurt you permanently. Don't say I didn't warn you.
