    “I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it. When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band - or at least in a Pixies cover band. We used their sense of dynamics, being soft and quiet and then loud and hard.” -Kurt Cobain, Nirvana (Rollingstone Magazine)
    Pixies are without a doubt one of the most underappreciated (by too many people), but influential bands in alternative music. At a time when music was becoming so formulaic in the 80's, along came the Pixies, making music that eventually launched the rock revolution of the 90's. They were the soundtrack of my college years (85-89), along with Jane's Addiction, Bauhaus & The Pogues, just to name a few.

    scenes are from the 1929 French short silent film Un Chien Andalou directed by Luis Bunuel and written by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali. Fun trivia fact the eyeball slicing scene came to Bunuel in a dream and the Hand with ants crawling all over it came from a dream of Salvador Dali.....they both mentioned the dreams they had to each other, and said "lets make a film, we already have the material for it"

    The lyrics are based on a surrealist film by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí called Un Chien Andalou. The film includes a scene in which a woman's eye is slit by a razor, which is referenced in the song lyric "Slicin' up eyeballs/I want you to know."
    The title "Debaser" references the fact that Un Chien Andalou debases morality and standards of art, according to the lead singer Black Francis.

Only hear them on college radio back then and their music videos on 120 Minutes, MTV alternative music on MTV segment at night time.. Check out more of their songs and The Breeders. The back up singer and bass guitarist is Kim Deal. After Pixies broke up in the 90s. She formed the band, Breeders, 90s, 00s alternative rock group. The Breeders have a lot of good videos too like "Canonball", "Safari", "Saints", "Divine Hammer", etc

    I always loved The Pixies. I've been listening to them for years (probably starting around 2008) and I finally saw them live this past year and they sound great live too.

    Keep going down the Pixies rabbit hole. It won’t disappoint. Gigantic springs to mind

    As mentioned this is an ode to a film by Luis Brunel and the surrealistic artist Salvador Dali.
    The slicing up eyeballs comes from the film and the mention "I am un chien" which translates to "I am a dog" - Andalusia (Andalusian is a breed of dog).
    There is so much more meaning to the lyrics then just taking them literally or at face value. It is also an awesome dance song.
    I feel like doing some research prior to actually reacting to the song and video and giving that information doesn't take away from a first reaction, but gives you a clearer perspective on the ideas and can help others who are unfamiliar with the Pixies or the imagery of the lyrics. It gives much more depth then just playing it, guessing and then having no real understanding or making a deeper connection to the band or song. And it's over. I have found a few reactors that take the time to do this and it is nice. Otherwise it just feels like you do it because of requests and take 3 minutes to leave people frustrated, who know the song and then depending on us to educate you and others, when that makes it seem like you don't care much. Just my opinion about most reactors and I am sure it isn't a popular thought but it makes me less inclined to watch but people do especially if they already know how good a song is and hope you will get it.

      David Bowie opened up his 1976 tour with the sliced eyeball scene from that movie.

      The Andalusia Dog is likely, also, a slight against Federico Garcia Lorca.

    Gen X alt rock. We need another '80s/'90s alt/indie rock stream soon! Been awhile.
    Bands like Smithereens, Husker Du, My Bloody Valentine, Echo and the Bunnymen, Pixies, Janes Addiction/P For pyros, Joy Division/New Order, Gang of Four, The Psychedelic Furs, The Chameleons, Love and Rockets, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Jesus and the Mary Chain, RHCP, Plimsouls, Lene Lovich, Pavement, Dinosaur JR, Meat Puppets, Stone Roses, Lemonheads, Sonic Youth, and many others get better chances there.

    This is where some cultural knowledge is required. The song is referencing a famous surrealist movie called Un Chien Andalou. The movie infamously includes a scene of an eyeball being sliced open.

    When I was a teenager in the early nineties I was a big fan of MTV"s 120 minutes I remember the first Pixies songs I listened to was Debaser, Here Comes Your Man, Monkey Gone to heaven, Alec Effel, and Head On. In fact I was introduced to your channel last year by The Pixies community board. You did a reaction to their song Hey and they posted it to their community board for fans to comment on. So there are artists out there who do appreciate what you do. I'll miss seeing new posts on this channel for sure because I enjoy watching you two.

    Not sure exactly how many vids I've seen on this channel, but it's been quite a few. I loved seeing this side of Brad. His reaction made me think about the word "debaser" in a literal sense. To be de-based, knocked off center, out of one's comfort zone but still okay. In that sense the word has no negative connotations. In that sense "debased" is practically a synonym for "elevated." I just loved this reaction and learned a lot from it. Pixies forever!

  • @michaelgeorge4826

    I must have been 18 or 19 when I first heard this in the late 80's (ish?). It totally blew my young Aussie country boy mind. Felt so lucky to be in my 20s in the 90s

    Pixies are the quiet 🤫 quiet 🤫 loud 🔊🔊🔊🔊. From were 90’s America music spawned. Wave of mutation, where’s my head, monkey gone to heaven, all are pivotal tracks in the development of a decade. They might not have been stadium fillers, but pixies in a club when the sweat is dripping off the ceiling is is where it’s at.
