thedrizzle,
you...are...an idiot. ok, somebody had to say it.
Love the breeders, and the whole thing that was happening in the music scene in early nineties. what a great change from the retarded haevy-metal culture! now only if the music industry hadn't turned the quirks and ideas of alternative bands into formulas that were to be blindly followed by an army of soulless bands. like bush, for example.
one of the most defining aspects of alternative culture is the reaction against the rotten status quo. that aspect was present for a couple of years, and than the music industry had to fight that unpredictability caused by all this friggin bands commin' out of nowhere and messin' up our well paved way of makin money. the industry likes formulas in art because formulas can be worked into the big formula - the money making one. and most of the teenagers actually like to have easily followed formulas, because they're fucking lost to begin with. so, the alternative was tailored to become mainstream. and how was that accomplished? well, just anything that these friggin weird kids can come up with, we'll say 'Hey, okay, groovie, that's also a new fad. Anything goes.' So they made piercing a mainstream. Going to coffee houses they made a mainstream. They made even Punk a mainstream. Skater shoes became a mainstream. Yeah, does anyone realize that 95% of today's sneakers are modeled to look like the then-underground skaters' brands, of which there weren't many - you had Vans and only a couple of others that, of course, couldn't be bought in the stores, but rather had to be ordered through a catalog. So, yeah, the music industry will never be surprised again. They've seen everything. And made a category for everyhting. 'You wanna have a band today? No problem, we gotch ya. Let's see...you belong to category XY3. Aahh, you wanna rock the boat? OK, than you'll be in the category XZ1.'
i don't think anybody will ever rock any boats. the boat rocking lasted about 5 decades, and it has shown itself as a quite dangerous thing. politically. so, no more of that game, kids. shiiiiyt, i'm really pessimistic tonight.
The Cannonball video was directed by Kim Gordon.
Today, is there anyone who makes their own, or their friends' videos on MTV? Yeah, those times are ghandi.
As for the meaning of the lyrics...ok, inspired by de Sade, but noone could've really guessed. The song was always more about the music. And about the pretty sisters Deal.
