30) "The Mid Morning Recording"               The Breeders-'Last Splash''
I bought this album the day it was released, and a little less than a half a year later, The Breeders would supercede any chart success found by Kim Deal's first band, Pixies, with the song "Cannonball". About a year after that, I needed money for rent and food, so I sold the disc because I knew it would be worth a little bit at the local used CD store. Cut to about two weeks ago, I was looking through the CD's at Half-Price books and I found this CD for a dollar cheaper than I sold it for back in the 90's. I've been looking to replace the album because I noticed that it hadn't been played yet as a "Mid-Morning Recording", and it really needed to be. I like this album, but certainly not as much as the debut 'Pod', (which I also happened to buy the day it was released).  I'm happy that I own a copy of this great rock album once again, and I don't plan on selling it again either. It's of an interesting note that The Breeders were my very first interview on Orly's old public access show, "Indievision". This was way back before this album was even released. "You loved me before, but do you love me now?"
