The best description I've heard of bands like Pixies and Velvet Underground - "They didn't sell that many records, but everyone who bought a record went out and started a band."
It showed it in a stylistic way but I personally didnt think it glamorized it AT ALL. Who the hell wants to go down a toilet or see a baby in that condition? Or a doofus taking a crap in his sheets? Great movie. SHould have won the oscar that year.
@@apexmax5944 yeah I don't think the movie glamorised it at all. The toilet scene, the baby scene and the scene where the main character hallucinates in his bedroom are all incredibly negative depictions of heroine use.
While I love Blister in the Sun, The Violent Femmes have so many other great songs. This is the only one that ever got any real airplay, I think because it was on the Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack.
Try their song "Wave of Mutilation." What's really unique about The Pixies is that they have both a male and a female lead singer... not many bands can support such different voices so equally well. 🙂
@Whiskey Mystic what a coincidence! however in Naples there are no toilets like these but in towns near Naples like mine you can find much worse, think that once I found a leg of a dead body and the owners didn't give a fuck about it.
Their guitarist, Joey Santiago, is probably one of the most innovative, talented guitarists ever. He does just crazy stuff sometimes to get unique sounds out. Like using a soda can up against the strings. It's nuts
Tom Morello is extremely talented but his style is totally different. I just like Santiago's style better. It's subjective. It's like Santiago is like Jackson Pollock and Morello is like Picasso.
They are great! As soon as I hear them I think of the Violent Femmes (blister in the sun) the cure (friday im in love) and the lemon heads (into your arms). All great songs, would love to see your reaction.
howard shotz Yes, yes, yes please to the Violent Femmes! Check out Add it Up or Kiss off, would love to see your reaction to either. Love your channel & the diversity of your audience - thank you!
The Cure - Friday I'm In Love? Of all the Cure songs, surely can't be the first one that comes to mind. I love Catch, but I wouldn't suggest that either. Something that would stand out to a first time listener? Lullaby, A Forest, or ease them in with Just Like Heaven? No matter how many Cure songs you try to pick as the perfect introduction, it's never enough!
Takes me back to my 20s in the 1990s. Loved the Pixies. So glad that I got to see them live. They rocked. And you two do as well! Take care & stay safe😷
There's a whole story about why the guy is climbing out of the toilet - in the book/film he's a heroin addict. He's just bought some suppositories from his dealer (if I remember right that was all the dealer had - think they were maybe opioids or similar?) as he's desperate for any high. Problem is, heroin makes you constipated and the heroin is out of his system so on his way home the suppositories kick in and he needs a toilet immediately. He is forced to use the toilet in a betting shop which is known as "the worst toilet in Scotland" (knowing exactly where that shop is in real life, I can believe it). After he's finished, he realises the suppositories are now in the toilet... he's so desperate for his hit that he fishes them out of the disgusting toilet. The film cleverly showed it as this fantasy sequence which was, until he emerges, considerably less foul than the reality, but it was a brilliant illustration of how desperate people become when they are slaves to their addiction.
I had to turn the movie off after that sequence 🤢🤮 and I’ve never watched it since because I know I can’t handle rewatching that scene in particular. Just the thought of it makes me so ill.
Are you now going to recount the entire plot? Why? Tell people to go see it because it's a good movie. Don't spoil it, a lot of people have already asked that there not be spoilers.
I loooove The Pixies! I'm so glad you reacted to this! They pioneered the indie/alternative genre and Nirvana (or it may have just been Kurt) stated once that Pixies were one of their biggest inspirations. I've been lucky enough to see them live a couple of times. They were amazing live!
I love your channel, I find it so wholesome and pure for some reason. Really what I need in these times where the world feels upside down. I recommend you guys listen to literally anything by Weezer. Some of their popular songs are the following : Undone - The Sweater Song, Island in the Sun, Say it Ain't so, Beverly Hills. They're really an iconic band, hope to see you guys react to it. :)
There was a quite obscure Wheezer track called 'Surf wax America' it was really popular at this club I used to go to in the 90's still love that tune makes me very happy whenever I hear it.
Me either :/ I think people are suggesting up *their* favorite songs instead of songs that might hook the Twins on a first listen. Any of the short loudQUIETloud songs like Crackity Jones, Alec Eiffel, Planet of Sound, Tony's Theme.
@Misty X Now I had to google it cuz I wasn’t sure, LOL! So, it was indeed the Pixies. On the Surfer Rosa album. And Kim Deal (now I’m relying on my so-so memory) I think went on to the Breeders later. Crud, now I have to google that too, hahaha! All these bands flow together in my brain, it was so long ago now!
Funny lately my GPS has been telling me to turn on this Rt 202 Business. I'm not sure why they call it that but for some reason I keep thinking "He's doing the business!" to the tune of "He's going the distance".
I have sooo many requests, I’ll start with a few songs that tell a story... “Turn the Page” Bob Seger “Son of A Preacher Man” Dusty Springfield “The Killing of Georgie” Rod Stewart “Mr Bojangles” Jerry Jeff Walker (Live in New Orleans version)
While you're checking out the Pixies, Debaser is great, and has references to a film from the twenties (the 1920s) by Salvador Dali called Un Chien Andalou. Also, the Breeders, Cannonball. I made a roommate sick of that album in the nineties. Amazing.
I had to watch Un Chien Andalou for my film studies course at uni and it still haunts me to this day!! But I love that I understand the references in the song.
You two are so polite. You definitely are exemplary young gentlemen. This song is a part of me. I've really enjoyed watching you two re-act to allot of music I love! I just love the young gentleman on the right (yall's right) who wears the do rag frequently. You make the stank funk fayce like nobody!!! It kills me every time. You young men have a bright bright future. I can't say enough nice observations. Best thing I can say is I see you two have been raised right!
If interested, might want to listen to the Pixies' "Monkey Gone to Heaven" and "In Heaven (The Lady In the Radiator Song)." these 2 songs have the "quiet-loud" element you seem to have liked in other music/videos.
I see you found your way around to the Alternative Music of 80s and 90s. Some of the best music ever. You could actually go see these bands on a college campus for about 5 dollars. Doing Great guys. I love this exploring all types of Gene's.
Just because you were growing up in the 80s and 90s doesn't mean the music's the best music ever, it just means it was what you grew up with. Believe me, there are people of all ages and every decade that will tell you what they like is some of the best music ever.
I really dig watching you guys explore so much different music and digging it. So much of the stuff you post is the soundtrack to my teens. It makes me happy to see you taking it in & enjoying it. Some great stuff.
I've been watching RUclips literally from the very first video posted (it was about an elephant) and I swear you two might be my very favorite RUclips channel of all time. Absolutely love it. Don't you dare ever stop.
Amazing song. Great film too, about a group of friends from Edinburgh that are addicted to heroin, it's a cult classic here, heavily recommend you watch it (you'll need subtitles tho 😂) Love the reaction my bros 🙏
Y’all are renewing my faith in humanity. LOVE how open-minded you are - open to listening to everything. Keep it up. Also, I need y’all’s shirt! Listen to Jason Isbell! “Elephant” is phenomenal.
Man, props to u guys for being open minded and giving everything a chance; ive been binging on all your vids and its really varied, you guys are just hitting everything. Im 44 and have a few friends who are ten, fifteen years younger than me, and its really just a joy getting the youth into older music:)
I love it when y'all are just completely immersed in a song.. Like some of the best reactions on your channel are when you forget you're even making a video and just vibin with it
I've seen the Pixies play a bunch of times, but one of the most amazing concert experiences I've ever had was when they ended a show on this song and left the stage, but the crowd kept doing the "OOOoooooooooo" in unison for a good 15 minutes afterward. People were still doing it on the way out the doors and out in the street in front of the venue.
The video is from the movie 'Trainspotting' ...about the rough side of Glasgow, Scotland. This and 'Shallow Grave' is what launched Ewen McGregor's career. Yes, this song was also used in 'Fight Club'. The song is a classic unto itself.
with more and more time that passes I feel so lucky that I was alive to witness the Pixies, not only that but to listen to so many records produced by Steve Albini.
The Breeders were what was left over of the band after Francis left. He was the only non-Breeder. Oh, I think Kim Deal's identical twin sister whose name eludes me was an addition to the Breeders, actually, so not just what was left of the band. But the gay guy had left, was the point..
I first heard this song being covered at a party by a live band, I literally stopped in my tracks. It wasn’t until about 5-10 years later I discovered whole it was. Life pre Shazam/Spotify etc 😂
My impression is that "no favors" understands this song more so than the other fella but its always cool to see some young cats pick up on the old classic stuff. For whatever its worth, when this pandemic is finally over, the Pixies will tour again. You can typically catch them at a 3,000 seater or sometimes even smaller. Catch them once before you die.
Big Ups for doing this review ice cold to the Pixies. This band is one of the most influential rock bands in history. They are quirky AF,. I hated them first time. Now they're an all time fav. Nice werk
Pixies have so many great songs, but this one is pretty iconic. I love the variety of music that you guys react to. I noticed that you haven’t reacted to Twenty One Pilots though. May I suggest you check out any of the following songs? Lane Boy, Car Radio, Migraine, Fairly Local, Ride, My Blood or Chlorine. Thanks!
The video from a film called Trainspotting 90s film based on Scotland. That's Ewan McGregor (obi wan kenobi from modern star wars flicks) It is an honest mind bending portrait of what drug taking on the 90s was all about in Scotland. The important message is don't do drugs. You should watch it if you can figure out Scottish dialects. However, you can recognise characters within society at that time within it.
" with your feet in the air and your head on the ground...where is my mind..." yeah....felt that way too many times in the day.....oh those floaty days of my youth and this song as the anthem...
I think it's great that you're allowing yourselves to open mindedly be introduced to an eclectic array of artists, spanning multiple genres; and through the various examples of musical exposure you're claiming to more or less enjoy all the recommendations. With that said however, I have to ask: Are you merely claiming to enjoy the music you're being introduced to, in hopes to receive "likes" and continuous growth of your You Tube channel, or are these myriad examples of musical recommendations truly having an impact on you? Are all the songs you're claiming to enjoy ultimately helping to shape your musical tastes, or assist in truly redefining your definition of what a good song means? Basically, what I want to know is, when the cameras go off, and the both of you are going about your daily lives, do these songs stay within your soul? Do you find yourself seeking out further music from these artistic recommendations? I don't know about you, but when I listen to a song from a band I've never heard before, and it happens to be a song I enjoy, I don't stop there. I continue listening to other songs from the band responsible, and the subsequent albums that they've previously released. Case in point, when I was first introduced to one of my all time favorite bands, Portishead, as a sophomore in high school back in 1996; I was completely blown away. The first song I remember hearing was a tune called "Glory Box", which had an immediate impact on me. But I didn't merely stop with that one single song. I instantly asked my friend, who was responsible for the introduction, if this song came off an album of theirs, and if so, I wanted to hear the entire record! After listening to every track, and being totally floored by virtually every single song, I then asked for the name of the aforementioned record so that I could purchase it for myself, and listen to the entire album whenever I want. Anyways, I didn't want this to become a rant. Basically, if you guys are truthfully enjoying a particular recommendation, then I want to see further evidence, and examples, of how these songs are impacting your actual lives. Otherwise I will have no other choice but to question the sincerity of your opinions.
@@user-ee1ws3bi6l You are completely missing the point. EVERYBODY comments how awesome it is to see to people from a younger generation, and their positive responses to classic songs from various genres.... and they're indeed correct. But here's a couple of kids, who only a year or so ago, claimed to have NEVER heard rock music before. Like.... The entire genre! Now keep in mind that these 2 kids aren't really kids. They're either 21, or 22 years old. Do you honestly think they said to themselves one day, "Gee... There sure is a bunch of music we've never heard of before. Let's start a youtube channel and let people tell us what to listen to." You honestly think they're doing it for the love of music?? No! They're doing it to have a successful channel, which ultimately makes money. But I never accused them as such. Everything I said in my original comment was in the form of a question, so not to be accusatory. Because, I am aware of the fact that maybe I'm not correct. But if that's the case, PROVE IT! You like Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" so much? Show us proof that you went out and purchased an album. Oh, you're enjoying songs from Hendrix? Put up a poster! Something..... Something that shows that these songs you've quote on quote "Never heard before", but claim to be thoroughly enjoying, actually means something. Because if a song really affects you, you will want to listen to it long after the cameras are turned off... And unfortunately I see no evidence of that. Oh, and it's "you're" not. Not "your". If you're going to attempt to insult someone, the least you can do is learn basic english grammar. Actually, you're using the word properly in the following sentence from the one I pointed out. So, I'll assume it was some sort of typo and give you the benefit of the doubt.
Bassist, Kim Deal, left to make her own music with her twin sister, Kelly. Try out Cannonball by The Breeders. If you like the bass line in this song, you'll really enjoy it on Breeders' songs. Also, maybe give K. Flay a listen. All her stuff rocks!
Nothing hits harder than hearing this at the end of Fight Club for the first time.
Such a perfect moment in time! Whoever decided that, was GENIUS!
but... Trainspotting....
@@SeanConway99 THIS
A friend of mine was in Fight Club.
@
cheeesonator So true. I remember staying until the end of the credits, half dumbfounded, half amazed. Perfect movie experience.
Pixies influenced so many other bands you’ve reviewed - Nirvana, Pearl Jam - one of the greats! 🤘🤘🤘
I like The Breeders, too. My husband and I bonded over our mutual love of The Breeders when we first met.
I think Toadies too.
Did they really wow i love pearl jam and nirvana thanks for that cool fact
@@andrewperry4175 when kurt cobain was writing “smells like teen spirit” he was trying to make a pixies song:)
The best description I've heard of bands like Pixies and Velvet Underground - "They didn't sell that many records, but everyone who bought a record went out and started a band."
Trainspotting was the best anti-heroin flick. The Pixies still play shows. Such a good band.
Fortunate enough to have seem them live twice.
I started using heroin because of that movie
I'm with "Shrug Life" - I'm not sure it was ANTI-heroin.
It showed it in a stylistic way but I personally didnt think it glamorized it AT ALL. Who the hell wants to go down a toilet or see a baby in that condition? Or a doofus taking a crap in his sheets? Great movie. SHould have won the oscar that year.
@@apexmax5944 yeah I don't think the movie glamorised it at all. The toilet scene, the baby scene and the scene where the main character hallucinates in his bedroom are all incredibly negative depictions of heroine use.
Blister in the sun by Violent Femmes is quintessential 90's Alternative. I'm not sure if you've listened to this one before but I highly recommend it!
Im aware it came out in 1983 but was played on tbe radio a lot on the 90's (when I first heard it)
The Violent Femmes have so many better songs than Blister in the Sun. Add it up, Gimme the Car, or Gone Daddy Gone are heaps better.
I was also going to recommend the Violent Femmes Blister on the Sun. And Depeche Mode. So much Depeche Mode.
Agreed!
While I love Blister in the Sun, The Violent Femmes have so many other great songs. This is the only one that ever got any real airplay, I think because it was on the Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack.
Classic 80’s songs-I wanna be sedated by the Remones and How Soon is Now by the Smiths... Enjoy!!
I vote for both of these! Was thinking Rock and Roll High School by the Ramones for the kids but Sedated is on point.
Yes!
Another vote for The Smiths. That would be awesome.
The Smiths, for sure. REM.
How soon is now 🥰
Try their song "Wave of Mutilation." What's really unique about The Pixies is that they have both a male and a female lead singer... not many bands can support such different voices so equally well. 🙂
try the UK Surf remix of "Wave of Mutilation." Coolest version.
I might like into the white for completely different reasons 😳
Definitely Wave of Mutilation, both versions, the original and the one from Pump Up The Volume
hey i also recognized they played wave of mutilation in mid90s
At this point I'm basically using your channel as a Playlist lol. Guns n Roses November Rain please
Me too! I totally fell down a you tube hole one weekend and have not emerged!!
Me too I play it before falling to sleep with a smile on my face.
Same!!
Same haha some fantastic tunes
Samw
To be exact, that was "Dirtiest Toilet in Scotland"
@Whiskey Mystic come to Naples
@Whiskey Mystic what a coincidence! however in Naples there are no toilets like these but in towns near Naples like mine you can find much worse, think that once I found a leg of a dead body and the owners didn't give a fuck about it.
Love the Pixies... Since you liked it, check out Jane’s Addiction. They’re a rock band from the same era. Really excellent guitar riffs. 🖤
I can recommend Janes Addiction myself!!
I second this!
Three Days by Jane's Addiction would be a great one.
Love, love, LOVE the Pixies! Dopest song, and the movie they're playing is Train Spotting. A great, trippy movie 👍
Great, and a big lesson on Drug Abuse!!!!!!
I got caught up in a mosh pit at a pixies show in Detroit around 1988. It was awesome.
Trainspotting and the sequel a couple of years back are both outstanding films.
It's one of the best movies of all time, and definitely one of the best depictions of drug addiction
@Whiskey Mystic haven't seen it yet. I'll check it out.
I like the Pixies. "Here Comes Your Man" is one of my faves.
Christina Lytle yep, another great one
It’s great, but it’s funny, the Pixies THEMSELVES hate that song
It's the only bad pixies song. Please don't listen to it. A bad stain on an otherwise perfect band
damn i need to go play that right now!! Thank you .. love love love that song
‘Hey’ and ‘Monkeys Gone to Heaven’ are also bangers
Their guitarist, Joey Santiago, is probably one of the most innovative, talented guitarists ever. He does just crazy stuff sometimes to get unique sounds out. Like using a soda can up against the strings. It's nuts
Tom Morello has entered the chat
Tom Morello is extremely talented but his style is totally different. I just like Santiago's style better. It's subjective. It's like Santiago is like Jackson Pollock and Morello is like Picasso.
Lmao I was about to make a reply about tom morello but everyone seems to have beat me to it lmao
They are great! As soon as I hear them I think of the Violent Femmes (blister in the sun) the cure (friday im in love) and the lemon heads (into your arms). All great songs, would love to see your reaction.
howard shotz Yes, yes, yes please to the Violent Femmes! Check out Add it Up or Kiss off, would love to see your reaction to either. Love your channel & the diversity of your audience - thank you!
YES! Great suggestions! It's like we're the same person.
The Cure - Friday I'm In Love? Of all the Cure songs, surely can't be the first one that comes to mind. I love Catch, but I wouldn't suggest that either. Something that would stand out to a first time listener? Lullaby, A Forest, or ease them in with Just Like Heaven? No matter how many Cure songs you try to pick as the perfect introduction, it's never enough!
You’ve got to check out The Cranberries “Zombie”
Definitely!!!!
I'm partial to "Linger"
They did already
@@Th3Downz me too!!!!
Hits hard
Takes me back to my 20s in the 1990s. Loved the Pixies. So glad that I got to see them live. They rocked. And you two do as well! Take care & stay safe😷
Check out How Soon is Now by The Smiths I think you'll love it
How about girlfriend in a coma
@@kcdarwin9445 I know, it's serious
Yes! Such a good song.
Morrissey is hella racist tho
No. Smiths are overrated garbage.
The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary. Similar guitar sound to this. From my hometown in Bradford, UK.
There's a whole story about why the guy is climbing out of the toilet - in the book/film he's a heroin addict.

And the dealer was played by the author, Irvine Welsh.

Lol I saw the pixies open for weeper a few yrs ago. Fucking bizarre that the pixies were the opening band. Great show though.
OMG the Sweater Song! Haven’t thought about that in YEARS!!!
Love the Pixies, but I probably would have chosen something like "This Monkey's Gone to Heaven" or "Gigantic" for an intro.
Gigantic, for sure.
Me either :/ I think people are suggesting up *their* favorite songs instead of songs that might hook the Twins on a first listen. Any of the short loudQUIETloud songs like Crackity Jones, Alec Eiffel, Planet of Sound, Tony's Theme.
Rock music is a good one too
Yeah, Gigantic...with Kim Deal...is that right? Great song, used to listen to them non stop back in the day!

Have you tried Cake...The Distance or Short skirt long jacket
They did one cake song. You should be able to find it.
They did The Distance, still waiting on Short Skirt Long Jacket :)
"I want a girl with a mind like a diamond..."
What is cake up to these days?
Funny lately my GPS has been telling me to turn on this Rt 202 Business. I'm not sure why they call it that but for some reason I keep thinking "He's doing the business!" to the tune of "He's going the distance".
Yay! The pixies! So glad you got to hear them. Definitely do some more!
I saw the Pixies when they played Exeter University in 1990. Fantastic....
Great pick. Loved seeing you guys hear this one for the first time. Thanks for the perfect start to my day.
I have sooo many requests, I’ll start with a few songs that tell a story...
“Turn the Page” Bob Seger
“Son of A Preacher Man” Dusty Springfield
“The Killing of Georgie” Rod Stewart
“Mr Bojangles” Jerry Jeff Walker (Live in New Orleans version)
And any Kate Bush - have you done one of hers? She is incredible.
Placebo does a phenomenal job of her 'running up that hill'. Well worth looking into that one guys.
Janete Barbosa Meg Myers does a fantastic job with her version.
@@thedriver6283 agreed, I had forgotten about her version.
So many people keep suggesting Kate Bush and there's just no way they're gonna miss it. I bet you $20 they'll do it before October.
Wuthering Heights is a must!
Love the Pixies!
Check out “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” By The Flaming Lips
Oh YES!!! Fantastic recommendation.
Part 2 is better
Great recommendation! I absolutely love that entire record. One of the greatest concept albums of the last 20 years, if not of all time.
Great song

Man I haven’t listened to the Pixies in years. I loved them when I was in high school.
This song is so unique, it is an amazing song. You should watch the movie "Fight Club" if you didn't.
Oh my gosh, takes me back to my youth when I was younger than yall. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I LOVE that you listened to the Pixies 💛❤💚 One Love
It's official fellas, you're officially Grunge! Welcome to the fold.
You two are so polite. You definitely are exemplary young gentlemen.

You young men have a bright bright future. I can't say enough nice observations. Best thing I can say is I see you two have been raised right!
Frank Black’s howling is just EPIC.
Became a Pixies fan when I watched Pump Up the Volume. Also when I discovered Leonard Cohen through his song "Everybody Knows".
yep i hear ya man. Ghat sound track also introduced me to Concrete Blond

I've seen the Pixies play a bunch of times, but one of the most amazing concert experiences I've ever had was when they ended a show on this song and left the stage, but the crowd kept doing the "OOOoooooooooo" in unison for a good 15 minutes afterward. People were still doing it on the way out the doors and out in the street in front of the venue.
The video is from the movie 'Trainspotting' ...about the rough side of Glasgow, Scotland. This and 'Shallow Grave' is what launched Ewen McGregor's career. Yes, this song was also used in 'Fight Club'. The song is a classic unto itself.
with more and more time that passes I feel so lucky that I was alive to witness the Pixies, not only that but to listen to so many records produced by Steve Albini.
One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES. this song hits right in the soul
Oh my god! Yay! Didn’t know you guys did this! One of my faves. Became a fan of this band after hearing this song at the end of Fight Club.
Kim Deal was in this band. She later formed The Breeders.
The Breeders were what was left over of the band after Francis left. He was the only non-Breeder. Oh, I think Kim Deal's identical twin sister whose name eludes me was an addition to the Breeders, actually, so not just what was left of the band. But the gay guy had left, was the point..
Pixies "Gouge Away". He goes off. Fantastic.
I'm happy for you guys! This is more than a simple song.
I first heard this song being covered at a party by a live band, I literally stopped in my tracks. It wasn’t until about 5-10 years later I discovered whole it was. Life pre Shazam/Spotify etc 😂
Is She Weird is another underrated track by the Pixies.
as soon as they heard the drumming they were vibing
Love this song. After a night of partying me and the girls would turn this on and the end always tripped me out.
Such a good song! Thank you for doing this one
I wish we knew how hard this slammed back in the 80s. This was HARD back in the day. They redefined rock for sure
This song was also used in “The 4400.” It works for so many different dramatic arcs and really amps up the impact.
Pixies have a lot of great songs! Thanks for appreciating them.
Try “Trouble Me” by 10,000 Maniacs next.
Ooh yes!
The Pixies “Wave of Mutilation” is amazing!
The footage is from a movie called "Train spotting" and is about a Heroin addicted guy and his equally addicted club of friends.
First heard this when my son's band played it at a show. They did an excellent rendition and I've loved it ever since. Killer song.
He’s right with the air drumming the drumming in this song is insane
Great job fellas! Timmy you gonna do my song?! 😂🙌👏💯. You got the link! 💯👏😭
just subbed, yall are gonna like some of the recommendations from the 80s and 90s
Thanks for digging in to my fave genre. The Pixies are amazing.
This is, and will ALWAYS be on my playlist...an 80’s group who where visionaries and pioneers into what angsty rock became...it makes my soul ache! ❤️
My impression is that "no favors" understands this song more so than the other fella but its always cool to see some young cats pick up on the old classic stuff. For whatever its worth, when this pandemic is finally over, the Pixies will tour again. You can typically catch them at a 3,000 seater or sometimes even smaller. Catch them once before you die.
Do you guys add a lot of these songs to your personal playlists after these videos? I just found this channel and am so excited by THE RANGE
dang now i want to go watch Trainspotting
Me too!
Big Ups for doing this review ice cold to the Pixies. This band is one of the most influential rock bands in history. They are quirky AF,. I hated them first time. Now they're an all time fav. Nice werk
Pixies have so many great songs, but this one is pretty iconic.
I love the variety of music that you guys react to. I noticed that you haven’t reacted to Twenty One Pilots though. May I suggest you check out any of the following songs? Lane Boy, Car Radio, Migraine, Fairly Local, Ride, My Blood or Chlorine. Thanks!
What more can anyone want, good music, good company. Keep up the good work boys, we love you, from Europe.
The video from a film called Trainspotting 90s film based on Scotland. That's Ewan McGregor (obi wan kenobi from modern star wars flicks) It is an honest mind bending portrait of what drug taking on the 90s was all about in Scotland.
The important message is don't do drugs. You should watch it if you can figure out Scottish dialects. However, you can recognise characters within society at that time within it.
" with your feet in the air and your head on the ground...where is my mind..." yeah....felt that way too many times in the day.....oh those floaty days of my youth and this song as the anthem...
AMAZING you have listened to this!! You might not get it now but you will - eventually.
I agree...the talent it takes to master a musical instrument ...one of gods gifts to men besides dogs ...
Saw them do this song live with my mom, one of the best shows ever!
When I heard this song for the first time as a kid it cut deep.
It resonated with my ideas of perception and self, then how we define it.
You guys are amazing ❤️ keep it up!
Underworld born slippy is a must!!
I love the Pixies SO much! You'll probably enjoy Wave of Mutilation by them as well!
I think it's great that you're allowing yourselves to open mindedly be introduced to an eclectic array of artists, spanning multiple genres; and through the various examples of musical exposure you're claiming to more or less enjoy all the recommendations. With that said however, I have to ask: Are you merely claiming to enjoy the music you're being introduced to, in hopes to receive "likes" and continuous growth of your You Tube channel, or are these myriad examples of musical recommendations truly having an impact on you? Are all the songs you're claiming to enjoy ultimately helping to shape your musical tastes, or assist in truly redefining your definition of what a good song means? Basically, what I want to know is, when the cameras go off, and the both of you are going about your daily lives, do these songs stay within your soul? Do you find yourself seeking out further music from these artistic recommendations? I don't know about you, but when I listen to a song from a band I've never heard before, and it happens to be a song I enjoy, I don't stop there. I continue listening to other songs from the band responsible, and the subsequent albums that they've previously released. Case in point, when I was first introduced to one of my all time favorite bands, Portishead, as a sophomore in high school back in 1996; I was completely blown away. The first song I remember hearing was a tune called "Glory Box", which had an immediate impact on me. But I didn't merely stop with that one single song. I instantly asked my friend, who was responsible for the introduction, if this song came off an album of theirs, and if so, I wanted to hear the entire record! After listening to every track, and being totally floored by virtually every single song, I then asked for the name of the aforementioned record so that I could purchase it for myself, and listen to the entire album whenever I want. Anyways, I didn't want this to become a rant. Basically, if you guys are truthfully enjoying a particular recommendation, then I want to see further evidence, and examples, of how these songs are impacting your actual lives. Otherwise I will have no other choice but to question the sincerity of your opinions.
@@user-ee1ws3bi6l You are completely missing the point. EVERYBODY comments how awesome it is to see to people from a younger generation, and their positive responses to classic songs from various genres.... and they're indeed correct. But here's a couple of kids, who only a year or so ago, claimed to have NEVER heard rock music before. Like.... The entire genre! Now keep in mind that these 2 kids aren't really kids. They're either 21, or 22 years old. Do you honestly think they said to themselves one day, "Gee... There sure is a bunch of music we've never heard of before. Let's start a youtube channel and let people tell us what to listen to." You honestly think they're doing it for the love of music?? No! They're doing it to have a successful channel, which ultimately makes money. But I never accused them as such. Everything I said in my original comment was in the form of a question, so not to be accusatory. Because, I am aware of the fact that maybe I'm not correct. But if that's the case, PROVE IT! You like Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" so much? Show us proof that you went out and purchased an album. Oh, you're enjoying songs from Hendrix? Put up a poster! Something..... Something that shows that these songs you've quote on quote "Never heard before", but claim to be thoroughly enjoying, actually means something. Because if a song really affects you, you will want to listen to it long after the cameras are turned off... And unfortunately I see no evidence of that.
Oh, and it's "you're" not. Not "your". If you're going to attempt to insult someone, the least you can do is learn basic english grammar. Actually, you're using the word properly in the following sentence from the one I pointed out. So, I'll assume it was some sort of typo and give you the benefit of the doubt.
Just to let you guys know: this video actually has nothing to do with the song. It's a fan video using footage from the movie Trainspotting
Exposed
Elemental. That's the Pixies. All instruments very clear. Especially with Albini's engineering purity.
Pixies are amazing! Just so you know the video was just a selection of scenes from a British Movie by Danny Boyle called "Trainspotting" also amazing!
Bassist, Kim Deal, left to make her own music with her twin sister, Kelly. Try out Cannonball by The Breeders. If you like the bass line in this song, you'll really enjoy it on Breeders' songs.
Also, maybe give K. Flay a listen. All her stuff rocks!
The crazy part is this song came out in '87... way ahead of their time
LOVE The Pixies so fricking much.
