Contents 1 Bassist advert 2 Image not Kim Deal 3 What year? 4 Confusing sentence

[edit] Bassist advert

an advert for a female bassist into Hüsker Dü and Peter, Paul and Mary. On fr:Pixies and on [[1]], we can read the advert : Band seeks bass player into
Hüsker Dü? and Peter, Paul & Mary?,
phone: (UK) 0890 900 1003
So I'm not sure the advert was looking specifically for a female bassist.

[edit] Image not Kim Deal

The image on this page is not Kim Deal. It's a Belgian bassist. Maybe someone could post a new image?

[edit] What year?

There is an error in the following bit of the article but I don't know what the correct info is. I'll just take out the "In 1996." "In 1996, Kim contributed her voice to the Sonic Youth single, "Little Trouble Girl" from their '95 album Washing Machine. She also appears in the Mark Romanek music video for that song."

[edit] Confusing sentence

"To complete the lineup, Murphy suggested they hire Dave Lovering, a friend of his, as drummer..."

Since Kim is referred to as "Mrs. John Murphy" in this article, the "his" in the above sentence is confusing. Did Kim's husband suggest this? If so, his full name would be helpful, because he hasn't been discussed for a while at this point in the article. If not, obviously, the pronoun should be "her." Can someone who has one of the books listed as references clarify this? GaryColemanFan 14:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

She's not referred to as Mrs. John Murphy in the article. It only notes that she was credited as such in several albums. "Murphy suggested.." definitely refers to Deal, as Deal adopts the stage name in the following paragraph (but it's not used in the article). Same with the Doolittle quote.
