'Get It Done'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I still remember the moment when I realized that it was mentioning Un Chien Andalou ...
Once I was wondering if "Debaser" was refering to that scene. Then I asked myself, "How many other movies have a scene with a eyeball being slized by a razor?"
edit to make a little more sense....
Wow.
Note to self: Avoid Un Chien Andalou.
So, a good time to check out the Pixies if you're not familiear with them. "Debaser" is one of my favorite Pixies songs too. It mentions that scene in Un Chien Andalou (by Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel) where the eyeball gets sliced by a razor....
"Debaser" was my first non-"Where Is My Mind?" Pixies song. I love it.
slicing up eyeballs, whoa-oh-oh-oh!
"Debaser" is one of my favortie Pixies songs. Yay! Slicing up eyeballs!
Angus, your post made my day.
Upon first listen, I declare the first half the new U2 CD to be freaking incredible, and the second half merely good. The one exception in the second half is the second-to-last song. I fully expect those songs to grow on me upon further listen.
I think my favorite on the album right now is "City of Blinding Lights." While listening to that first half last night, I actually said "Oh BABY!" several times in excitement for the sounds coming out of my stereo.
I don't get TotN in Dallas, anybody got a station with a listen live link?
gives tommyrot a big fat kiss
Thanks!!
Yay! Heather Alayne-kissage.
Hec, your book arrived yesterday. I only flipped through it, but so far, it's pretty cool. And it looks great.
Yay!
Anyway, I just ordered 40 copies of Lost in the Grooves. Of course, it was for the book signing, but still!
Yay!
I adore "Debaser." Doolittle was not only my gateway drug into the Pixies, but was a major bonding moment with my high school mentor's daughter, Elizabeth. "Isn't this record great!?!"
