Back in the mid-nineties, one of my favorite bands was The Breeders. I was so in to them. Their breakthrough album Last Splash was a fixture in my life for years.

Over time, they sort of broke up, one of the Deal sisters (Kelley) started doing heroine, Kim started The Amps, the Pixies got back together and then the Breeders reformed. Full circle, yay.

Now, Kelley Deal makes scarves. My understanding is that they are handmade, each one is unique and they are made from repurposed materials (like old sweaters, mostly). A few weeks ago, [livejournal.com profile] kingfuraday showed up wearing a particularly fetching scarf. He told me it was a Kelley Deal original. I was so jealous, and then I saw on Kelley's Twitter feed that she had some more scarves for sale. I got one!

It came with a signed note.

A note from Kelley.  (whee!)

I wore it last night for the first time. Yay!

Omg, I love my Kelley Deal scarf!

Happy Friday, guys!

Oh! I just saw this. It's hard to tell, but it looks like his scarf is just like mine.
I've never seen that show, but I think I should. It keeps coming up.

In between being a Breeder and knitting, Kelley also put out two albums as the Kelley Deal 6000. KD6K still gets put on repeat in my car for weeks and weeks.

Oh yeah, I have that album. Kind of forgot about it. I totally want to listen to it now.
She was also in The Last Hard Men with Sebastian Bach
