Oh, hello America. I didn't hear you come in.
I'd like to talk to you fine people tonight about something near and dear to all of our hearts: music.
But not just any music. Honest music. Honest music for honest FOLKS. Well, my friends, that's what seminal indie/alternative wonderwoman Kim Deal is all about. A lot of frontwomen today might try to excite and confuse the voting public with rail-thin bodies, disarming twee-asian accents, timely incontinence, or so-called "good voices," but not my friend Kim. No sir, she isn't out to "trick" America with bells, whistles, hotpants, and hairdos. She doesn't go in for any of that malarkey. She just makes records. Good records. Honest records that are made IN America, BY Americans, and FOR Americans. And THAT, good people, is why my friends and I here at TMT are proud to support KIM DEAL FOR PRESIDENT in 2008.
Oh sure, America, my friend Kim Deal might not have any "knowledge" of the American political system. She might have spent the last several years "touring" with known rock band "The Pixies" instead of campaigning for any sort of public office whatsoever. She may not have any "credentials" or fancy "bachelor's degrees." But I'll tell you what she DOES have: a BRAND NEW Breeders record, her first since Title TK back in the 2002 election, titled Mountain Battles, set for release April 8, 2008 (April 7 for all of our friends in the United Nations' beautiful Countries) via 4AD.
And don't look now, ladies and gentlemen, but even known-patriot Steve Albini has come out in support of Mrs. Deal and her campaign team (consisting once again of kid-sister and speech-writer Kelley Deal, joke- writer Jose Medeles, and mud-slinger Mando Lopez), having tracked much of Mountain Battles PERSONALLY at Electrical Audio in Chicago. My stars, what an endorsement!
So don't miss MY FRIEND Kim Deal and The Breeders on the campaign trail in 2008! And wouldn't you know it, their schedule even includes stops at Canadian Music Week, SXSW and Coachella, plus full [campaign] tours of the U.S. and Europe. And when you go to the polls/record store next April 18, remember that a vote for Kim Deal and her Breeders is a vote for:
Paid for by Citizens for Deal.
