Stern, the Pixies are awesome, but they have no cool music videos.

You're probably thinking of Happiness in Slavery, a song from the 1992 Broken EP. However there is also a Broken movie, which is a 20-minute music video / snuff film for the EP (including the Happiness in Slavery video) that has some seriously ****ed up shit in it. Consult wikipedia for more information, and you can find it all on Youtube.

Hmm, watching it, it doesn't appear to be the same one. The video I recall in the begining showed many decomposing body parts in a home and in the refridgerator.
Then it goes over to a bald man torturing someone, cutting them open and sticking his hands inside of them, eventually he wears someone's skinned face and then starts raping the victim.

Maybe it's just a different part to the movie, seems like the same style.

Yeah, that's one of the Broken videos, part of the movie, I can't remember which song (maybe Pinion?)
 
 
So does anyone else here remember when music videos came to 'regular' television (for those of us who didn't get cable/MTv)? I remember staying up late to watch "Friday Night Videos" on channel 3 (NBC). One of my friends had HBO, and there was something called Video Jukebox, I think. The first music video I ever saw was Eddie Grant: Electric Avenue, and I thought it was quite odd that someone would make a little vignette to their song like that.


...next thing you know, it's a lifestyle.
