Kim Deal has been part of my life for almost 15 years now. I first heard her voice on a tape recorded for me by a friend who was less than impressed by my musical taste at the time, and decided she would educate me. Through this tape I stumbled upon a whole world that I never knew existed, away from the shallow brit-pop and pub bands that came through my radio. Even today I still rate ‘Divine Hammer’ from The Last Splash as one of the most perfect pop songs ever written. As the years have passed barely a week goes by where I don’t hear her voice calling to me from my speakers. It is safe to assume I count myself as a big fan of The Breeders.
