Most folks will tell you "Pod" is the better album, but I disagree. "Last Splash" hasn't got a weak track on it (even the 2 minute instrumentals are good.) And I prefer the more layered production on the second vs. the dry bones "recorded by Steve Albini" approach on the first. I'd say it is still my favorite "indie crossover" album from the early 90's (even better than the best Pixies albums, which were their first and last.)

They certainly had the dope-y slacker image down though --

The hits:

Live last year (the one that looks like Kim Deal is actually Kelly, and Kim is the one who looks like "Roseanne"!):

I was at that show -- third time I've seen Kim Deal, and the best one yet (Pixies in 1992 were too tight-assed and they didn't let her do much anyway, and her band The Amps in 1996 was a drunken disaster.) Maybe there is something to be said for sobriety and age and all that! ;-)
