Death to the Pixies?
Phooey! Critic says brief show worth the hassle
by Angie Carozza
uR-1 M.Jsic cOrrespondent
We were going to see the Pixies,
and it didn't matter what we had to go
through to get there. ,
Not the half an hour It took just to
get the five Inches of snow off the
windows of my car last Thursday.
Not the 45 minutes It took to get
on the freeway.
Not the average speed of about
40 m.p.h. we crawled at on the trip to
St. Andrews Hall.
Not the two-hour trip that took us
four hours.
However, we finally arrived. But
because we were early..,..... not early
enough - we had to wait outside for
half an hour. When they let us in, we
were just glad to get out of the cold.
When my brain thawed, I went to
see who the opening band was. To
my surprise, It was the Zulus. I had
always thought that the greatest
show in the world would be the Pixies
and the Zulus. _
We walked around for a while to
see who else was at St. Andrews,
and to kill time before the show
started.· The Zulus went on around
10:45 p.m .. They played a great set,
which included such awesome tunes
as "I Can't Walt to T f;Jlf You the
News; "Can't Stop Having Fun; arid
their best song of the set., "Gotta
Have Faith.• ·
The Zulus did their job well. The
crowd was psyched. The time had
come to jostle for position at the front
of the stage. I pushed my way toward
the front. It was too tight to go all the
way up yet.
The crowd was getting restless
and I was standing there waiting fpr
an opportunity to get up there. I saw
the opening and I went for it. Suddenly,
I was part of the elite, being
thrown back and forth at the will of
the crowd.
The Pixies made their entrance
and as the crowd recognized each
member, they yelled their names.

ThePixies started playing, but with
all the pushing, I couldn't tell you
what their first song was.
I pulled out after having sacrificed
one of the lenses from my
glasses to the crowd. I moved to the
other side of the stage, where the
view was most excellent.
Joe, the lead guitarist, stood In
an almost heroic stance and looked
at the crowd through the whole show.
It looked a8 If he were being cued by
various members of the aUdience.
Black Francis, the lead singer,
looked like he was sick of touring,
and he just wanted to get the show
over with.
Kim, the bass player, stood with
her hair hanging over tier face except
for when she was singing. She
looked like she was having a good
time. Every once in a while, she
would just start laughing, mostly at
Joe or Black Francis.
The show was going really well.
Joe was· ripping out these great solos
that are a distinction of the Pixies.
When they played "Vamos, • 1 just
stood there with my mouth gaping
open. Joe's fingers were lightning
bolts streaking up and down the neck
of his guitar.
Kim opened up "Gigantic" on
bass. The crowd went nuts. This was
one ot the best songs they played,
along with "Monkey Gone to
Heaven.·
By now, they had started having
problems with feedback from the
house P.A. Black Francis was getting
more and more fed up. The tension
was building and it hit its peak when
they started "Debaser.·
Black Francis walked up to the
mike to sing, when all of a sudden he
yelled out "Fuck this!· and threw his
guitar down and stormed off.the
stage. Kim tried to get him to come
back and finish the show, but to no
avail.

Slowly the angry crowd dispersed. I waited at the bottom of
. the steps that led up to the Pixies' dressing room In hopes of ·
getting up to talk to them. I asked if I could go up to the dressing
rooms, and was told: "OK, come on.•

· The first thing I asked was What happened?" .
Black Francis left the room_ as If he didn't even want to talk
about it.
Finally, Kim gave me an answer.
'We were getting a Low -feedback · 'zzzzzt' sound for the last
five or six songs, then Charles (Black Francis) got shocked by
his microphone. That was when he walked off stage. We played
most of the show though, so it didn't end that ~rly. •
But the show seemed'incomplete, like it just stopped. I went
down to the Shelter and gathered people up and we left tor the
ride home.
On the way home, I had time to think about the show.
The songs they pl::r.yed were most excellent.
I got to meet the band.
It really was worth everything that hap ned. The Pixies are

It's hard to believe that Junkyard

women, Jodie Foster and a local
judge, are ruining my life. Just 1 O
short days ago, I was so happy.sitting
in my studio trying to get off a good
set of pictures of Willi, my giant
Australian. I think Spuds is a fag dog;
women know he won't hit on them
after he's got a snoot full. But Spuds
only uses alcohol in a responsible
way, he know's when he's had
enough, and that just goes to prove
my point: Spuds ain't manly, he's
George Bush's kind of dog. Even
Nancy Reagan loves Spuds a lot like
she loves Ronald (i.e., she just says,
"No!"), need I say more? ·
A beer company having a mascot
like Spuds shows how America has
fallen in this world; how American men
have sacriliced partying to obtain a ·
better image. Anyway, my dog, Willi,
is a much more manly symbol. Willi
just stands in there, never knows
when he:s had enough, and as many
a disgusted woman can testify, give
him a drink and he makes hash of
your pantyhose.
Here I am, trying to get Willi to sit
still and smile with his tongue hang in'
out so he looks manly, when I get a ·
ca\\ from a student. I explain how very
busy I am but he convinces me this
represents an important career move.
He's looking for a faculty adviser for

derision/ with a wit that's sharp
enough to make an incision. Pretty
hip iambic hate-trameter, eh fellow
shortfel/ows (with apologies to
Longfellow). Enough of the clever
banter, though, and let's let that
rapier wit cut to the chase ...
Anyone read about my greatgrandma
in Saturday's Detroit Free
Press?
·Yeah, she's the 101-year-old New
Jersey bag who shot at my 46-yearold
great-aunt for taking the radio she
uses to listen to church programs.
(Obviously she doesn't listen closely
enough)
"Sure I tried to shoot her; damned
right I tried to shoot he.r," Grannie
'
portable breathalizerto ke.ep the
driver from blowing higherthan .05),
and MSU's traditional stance (PARDA
Y!! !) While he's explaining all this,
I'm thinking how my career would
benefit from listing faculty advisorshhip
on my Annual Report ..
But, of course, I have to discuss
this with my trusted advisor, Stephanie:-
she sits down and lectures me
aoout how I can't affprd any shit,
particularly with my image. Besides,
"men turn into disgusting animals
when you drink," she says, and makes
me watch Jodie Foster in The Accused.
I'm bummed.
The movie is nothing but anti-male
propaganda. Jodie got my attention
when she was a pubescent slut in
Taxi Driver. If she got old whats-hisname
to shoot at Reagan just to
attract her attention, what did she
expect in a bar full .of Portugese? And
besides, the men I know swear by
alcohol because when they've had
enough, they CAN'T get it up. DAMM
supports alcohol as a form of birth
control; a way to counteract all the .
abortion brew~haha (ha ha) going on
in the Legisalture. That movie is lying;
a distorted view of men.
Stephanie says I am distorted and
we need Jodie because she is a Yalie;
sort of a counter-actant for George
Bush, me, and men like us who have
ruined society for the real kinder,
gentler people: Women. Can we help
it if we went to Yale when it was a
manly place, before they let women
like Jodie Foster in? Yalie·s really
knew how to party back in the days
when driving impaired was a mark of
manhood -,-- that and scars on the
face from windshieldgl'3.s&. So what's
the problem?
The problem, says Stephanie, is
how out of control we get also citing
the illegality of sharing the cost of a
keg with your friends and the recent
unpleasantness in Cedar Villge which
was a bunch of drunken, insecure
males buildingfires (huge phallic
symbols, she called them), even
turning on the kinder, gentler man who
tried to save the women and the
furniture.
Well, one doesn't go after the bighose
kind of guys if yours isn't big
enough to do the job. Men's logic says
i.f police batons were too short, than
what was needed were the BIG men

ENORMOUS hoses to spray everyone

public display is a great game.
Which, she said, was why the
woman judge in question was good
en,ough to issue an injunction against
lnde.cent Exposure played with police
batons and fire hoses. My point
exactly-women and unmanly en
resorting to illegal means to control
basically healthy, normal male displays
- especially during fall and .
spring mating seasons.
I said a few things which I now
regret, like: If the judge were actually
competent instead of a lackey for the
imperialist running dogs (women) who
control this town, she would have
known this shit was unconstitutional
and. not have wasted our time with
illegal crap. Anyway, the Declaration
of Independence promised men Life,
Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Moreover, I heard that when she
was given the decision from the·
Michigan Court of Appeals, she
giggled p.nd said: "Oops, silly meilNow
I have to go back and make it more
specific, don't I."
Yeah, right. How about making
Cedar Village residents wear yellow
six-pointed stars in May and October.
There is a Nazi mentality fitted into a
democratic framework, get my drift?
Not only didn't Stephanie get it, I
don't either. Since we·had that little
"discussion", I have been camping out
on the couch in DAM M's office over in
Student Services. I am having some
very unmanly feeling s, like !onliness ,
and drinking doesn't seem to help.
Damn Jodie Foster. Damn the judge.
Damn DAMM.
