Wednesday Intermezzo: Return of The Breeders
With The Pixies’ reunion fading into memory, the time’s finally come for Kelley and Kim Deal to get The Breeders back together. The Deal sisters have teamed up with producer Steve Albini to record Mountain Battles, an album that was put on hold in 2002 when Kim entered rehab. Mountain Battles hits stores on April 8th, and for Fuse’s sake we hope they don’t use any bong references on this album.

Let’s see what else is goin’ on ’round the world wide web this week:
- Live Nation teams with Costco to sell concert tickets
- Glide Magazine points us in the direction of Radiohead’s new video
- Bono promises U2 fans they’ll “feel a difference” from their next album
- Phil & Friends’ John Molo discusses his past and present with Blair Jackson
- Tom Petty talks to Rolling Stone about his decision to play the Super Bowl
- Jason and Jeff (of Jefitoblog fame) celebrate the 25 Days of Mellowmas
- Daniel Lanois offers the first digitally downloadable album to be released in high-resolution CD quality
- STS9 announces a few weeks worth of 2008 tour dates
- Runaway Dinosaur highlights some cool shit on Rock Art Wednesday
- John C. Reilly takes the stage as Dewey Cox during special screenings of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (watch trailer here)
Finally, be sure to watch on Friday night when Page McConnell names his favorite songs for ABC’s Nightline. He’s totally gonna pick Jennifer Dances.

The Breeders rock, but Deal-A-Meal rocks harder; so I’ve got nothing but love for you Richard.

That new Radiohead video is pretty sweet…it’s a good thing I’m not a huge fanboy and don’t have high expectations, because the new album and everything about their new material is really fucking awesome.
Radiohead could use some Jennifer Dances.

Not surprisingly, I’ve always hated the Breeders.
