I saw them open up for Foo Fighters back in 1996. I had no idea who they were, but noticed all their gear on stage had "Breeders" painted on it. Then I saw Kim Deal walk out on stage and I got really excited.
I saw them in Cleveland on the same tour!!! I was a huge that dog fan and they opened. When she walked on stage we were all like "holy shit! is that Kim Deal?"
Kim Deal's songs all seem to have some magic + bizarre + unexpected combination of elements: strange/sweet/melody/hook and humor. She always seemed to trust her own music and creativity however/wherever it ended up. Maybe it is all just a trick and a lot of thought and effort goes into sounding this pure and carefree??? I don't care to know, I just know I will be listening.
Was a big fan of the breeders and kept hearing this song on a vans commercial..when I saw Kim my mouth immediately dropped… glad she’s getting more recognition
The best year of my young teenage life for sure. 15 years old without a care in the world, a seemingly endless hot summer and a time when it felt like all-time classic records were coming out on a weekly basis. I got this record on vinyl a month after it came out for my sixteenth birthday and I love it to this day.

I met her in 1996 at a private gig for Mo Wax's Money Mark's Keyboard repair, she was touring as The Amps and my way cool girlfriend intro'd us. She literally walked over and said my boyfriend standing over by the cigarette machine is your biggest fan. It's true I've followed her since the Pixies. She came over and I was almost speechless, just in awe really. We argued about cigarette label warnings, she bought three packs until she was happier with the warning label finally deciding yeah okay i'll settle and smoke these. She played pool and was swish and lightly toasted with the brews. She was cool as only Kim Deal can be, I got a signed autograph and we spoke about silly stuff for about 5 minutes. My girlfriend just proudly grinned watching me oogle and ahh knowing my dream of meeting my favourite musician of all time had come true.
Man that is the best story - not only were you at a private gig with Money Mark for his first and best album, but you got some chill time with the greatest, Kim Deal! Oh to have been your +1 on that evening!
Hello by Poe was released 20 days before Pacer in October 95. While it doesn't explicitly say "internet", the titular song is about BBSs and appears to be the earliest use of the word 'modem' in lyrics.
@@BigSlimMoody.247 Yes this is in reference to Tipp City Ohio, a place with nothing to do but get drunk and roll around town. Could really be about any small midwestern town. The Deal sisters hail from Dayton and Tipp City is a bit north.
@@megabannedagain Yeah, I'm familiar with the deal sisters. I've lived in Tipp City for 44 years. That's why I'm a little baffled by the songs lyrics. Your description seems spot on though. Cheers.
Years ago i was standing in line at a White Castles in Huber Heights,Ohio, kept looking at the girl ahead of me and after several glances she asked if i knew her? I said no, but she looked just like Kim Deal, she started laughing and said what a coincidence since her name was Kim Deal, she was so sweet and laid back i told her I'd had always been a Breeders and Amps fan
@@mcadminbro2139 i’m nourished knowing this made you mad enough to reference a video on my channel from 10 years ago that was made in 6th grade ♥️😌 this song still STINKS BITCH
Great Kim! And great Jim and great guitar player from Guided by Voices that I forgot the name! It's so sad that 4AD has no signed great indie artists like pixies, throwing Muses et all anymore, neither weird, artsy acts (Dead Can Dance, His Name is Alive, etc) or revolutionary pop music (Colourbox, AR Kane, Frazier Chorus, etc). Now, 4AD offers to us z-class forgettable American rap. So sad.

As someone who lives in Tipp City, the mere existence of this song is baffling.
Omg me too! Kept hearing the vans commercial wondering how the f*** knew the city I’m in 😂😂😂
*cringe*
Not if you consider that the Breeders (same lead singer/songwriter) talks about small town fairs where people are smoking crank (meth).
The Deal sisters are from the Dayton area (Huber Heights). That's all you need to know.
Great album. Highly recommended to any Breeders fan!

exactly, really something special about her music.

This takes me all the way back, loved this album and still do. ♡
I could take you to tipp city if you want, mama ? ....
Definitely one of Kim’s best albums.

LMAO

Always fun seeing my dad doing a pat down in a music video that my mom said he was in
Tipp City is pretty nice, love the mum festival!
1995 was absolute peak of all genres music

It took me forever to find this song

That's awesome man! I'm jealous
I love her so much it's almost suffocating. And I'm 62. I've loved her fully half my life. Tragic.
Yeah, I'm jealous. That chick is like the female Keith Richards, man that is a cool story
Man that is the best story - not only were you at a private gig with Money Mark for his first and best album, but you got some chill time with the greatest, Kim Deal! Oh to have been your +1 on that evening!
sounds made up!
I've only this song in adds but like I really get the vibes 🎵🎵
If only the world could be as cool as Kim Deal...
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!
Amen ... Amen ...someone need to write a sing about it
A Vans ad introduced me to this song
I'm just glad you know now. I got introduced to Nick Drake by a dumb car commercial.
@@taracallaghan377 oh
I found this song from an ad, it is pretty great.
Still the earliest song I know of to reference the internet.
I read your comment like 2 weeks ago and since then life just feels different
I don't.. Want
The only reference to Tipp City, OH.

@@plusdome Tipp City was first played at a Breeders gig in May of 1994.
I remember when this came out. I still don't know what she is singing about & I'm from Tipp City. Great song though.
I’m from Tipp and I don’t know either. Lol

entire LP is albini produced and a gem
You could do worse than having Albini produce!
Not entirely, It was also engineered by John Agnello and Bryce Goggin

Miss Kimberly Dealington never misses

This is the 2nd song to reference the Internet in its lyrics after David Bowie's Algeria Touchshriek which was released a month earlier
I’m going to scream if hear this song one more time from that Vans ad
It’s so bad 💀
@@lydiapinnell1124 it is. I friggin hate it so much.
bro it sounds so dischordant and just annoying, why'd they pick THIS for their advert??
@@lydiapinnell1124 idk man but I love it
Thanks 4AD, thanks Amps..
Kim came out of a trailer parked next to the venue where we were standing in line and said hello.
They're my cousins. Very real deal people. Appalachia Ohio Chrissy Hynde Devo Deal Greatness.
saw these kids live at the now dead Starfish Room in Vancouver
fucking great
fuck yeah kim deal
whenever this plays for the vans commercial, it makes me physical ill
why it’s a good song
@@escapefr0mslender wow yknow i’d never really thought about it like that
@@mcclurggirl99 you should go back to doing internet raps with your friends. Man that song is so much more epic than this masterpiece!

Who else is here from the Vans ad
Wait there was a Vans add that feature this song? Man I never knew
Groovy!
👏👏👏
Amber Newman was born here ✍️
*Am I the only one who came from the add* 😅💀
Just want a girl as cool as kim deal
I wish I could met her back in 90s, she was too hot and also too cool.
Vans ruined this song for me. What an abysmal commercial.😅
Great Kim! And great Jim and great guitar player from Guided by Voices that I forgot the name!
It's so sad that 4AD has no signed great indie artists like pixies, throwing Muses et all anymore, neither weird, artsy acts (Dead Can Dance, His Name is Alive, etc) or revolutionary pop music (Colourbox, AR Kane, Frazier Chorus, etc). Now, 4AD offers to us z-class forgettable American rap. So sad.
Check out Aldous Harding :)
Nate Farley! He looked dreamy in this clip.... (sigh)...
I know another good band in 4AD.. yuko

Thought this was about tipperary city in Ireland and not some place in ohio lol
The fact I came from a vans add
No kim/Kelly no deal
Freezehead
Oh wow , never heard of this but seems like Kim deal is a great musician ! Is she still around in industry ?
Yep,see The Breeders!
She was also in some little indie band called the Pixies for a while.
@@ErikIversen "little" lol
Listen to last splash by the breeders if you haven't already
It takes less than a second to use google.
The Pixies were Kim.
yeaaaaahhhh... no. Not even close.
I knew Kim drank a lot making this record, I always assumed it was a drunken way of saying. "I'm tipsy".
I forgot about this one.🙄
VANS PLEASE STOP GIVING THE AD WITH THIS SONG ITS SO ANNOYING
THANK YOUUUU
Wtf does any of this mean
Fun fact: my mom is the one driving the car lol
Fun fact: nobody cares!
Anyone else find this song annoying ash from that vans ad?
I hate this so much
sounds like a "you" problem.
Lot of mediocre rubbish released back then all the same.
are you saying this is mediocre rubbish ?
*** I am.
superdeluxesmell oof let's agree to disagree then :)
*** 😂 Let’s! I’m sure we’d have a lot to agree on.
