Driving on 9, by the Breeders.

At various points in the past 30 years or so, I thought this song a) said “driving all night” which it does not and b) was a Pixies song, which it is not. But I loved Last Splash so very much, and I was the kind of “alternative” kid from the suburbs who knew the Breeders before I knew the Pixies, or maybe contemporaneously at best, because what I was ready to hear in 1991 was different from what I was ready to hear in 1989.

Last song from Mom’s house for a minute.

Off You, by the Breeders.

I spent all my Breeders time as a teenager with Last Splash, but heard this song in the movie Her, of course, and it opened my ears up to more glorious Deal sister work.

This song is laden with meaning, but not for me.

I’m thinking of buying a cheap MIDI keyboard, because the whole “type letters to play software instruments” is getting silly. We’ll see if my timing gets any better.
