The coolest site on the internet

DeBaser

The best asocial on the planet

It creates far more problems than it solves!

"I can't believe it! It's free!"

💥 Welcome to Armageddon 2.0: DeBaser goes bilingual! 💥

Yes, it finally happened.
DeBaser has split in two, and you are visiting the english split
Would you like to take a look at the italian version:
👉 https://www.debaser.it

“So what?” you may say.
“Just another multilingual site?”
Not quite.

DeBaser.it is a community of music and arts lovers, active in Italy since 2000.
Over the years, we’ve written nearly 50,000 reviews, millions of comments, and countless rants, reflections, obsessions, definitions, and nonsense.

Now all of that is also available in English.

✅ Reviews
✅ Comments
✅ Listening logs
✅ Glossary entries
❌ (Editorials? Not those — we spared you.)

But there’s more.

Everything new written on the Italian site is automatically translated into English and appears here.
And the same goes in reverse:
If you comment here in English, your words will appear, magically translated, over there for Italian readers — even if they think “English” is just a brand of cigarettes.

Will it be a surreal paradise of misunderstanding?
Or a bridge between cultures?
Probably both.
That’s DeBaser.

Dead Kennedys - Kill the poor
Translating is always betraying
I’m presenting again (lucky me!) my little free and unfaithful translation column (more interpretations than translations), language – even when it’s the one you happen to have been born with – is a barrier and communication is just a utopian wish; so take this stuff, which we only call translation out of convenience, with a grain of salt.

The good @[imasoulman], speaking about Hüsker Dü, reminded us that punk (and its various derivatives & offshoots) wasn’t just about shouting, speed, and horrible haircuts but that beyond the breakneck pace there were often lyrics as well. People like Rollins Band, Clash, Fugazi, Crass, Minor Threat, Flux of Pink Indians and many others had a lot to say, like Jello Biafra who has always had a sharp tongue (and also a background of good reading, apparently. Here, for example, he quotes the as witty as little-known "A Modest Proposal" written by Swift in 1729)
Dead Kennedys - Kill the Poor
Once again we are messengers of Efficiency & Progress, right now that we have the neutron bomb. Which is nice, fast, clean and solves problems, frees you of too many enemies but without damaging property. Sure, it makes no sense in war but it works perfectly to clean up the problems at home
The sun shines, shines on this brave new day. No more taxes for public welfare, horrible slums burned in a flash of light, millions of unemployed suddenly wiped out. In the end we’ll have more space to do our own things. Tonight everything is ready to eliminate the miserable and the penniless—
Kill, kill, kill the poor
Kill, kill, kill the poor
Let’s kill them all tonight
Here pops the champagne: the crime rate is zeroed, you feel free again. Oh, life is a dream with you, Miss Pure White Trash and Jane Fonda, from the screens, have convinced liberals that everything is fine. So let’s get dressed up and dance all night while they eliminate, take out, kill all those bums
Kill, kill, kill the poor
Kill, kill, kill the poor
Let’s kill them all tonight
