The Flaming Lips Poll (2 Viewers)

[Denny Oubidoux]

my home life is blighted by faulty stereo equipment at the moment. ripping new cds to my phone is terribly unsatisfactory. it wouldn't kill me to buy a new needle i suppose.

I hated Embryonic for two weeks and now I think I love it.

^^ lengthy interview with Wayne about the making of the album.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

this album (Embryonic, i mean) is starting to get to me now. theres very few songs on it that are particularly brilliant (powerless, evil, one or two others maybe) and a few irritating as fuck ones (I can be a frog, Sagittarius Silver Announcement, silver trembling hands). the mix of raggedy live sounding drums and bass with harsh digital sounding stuff is unsettling but the whole thing seems to work, its like looking at the horizon over a flat landscape and then realising that its actually two dimensional and has warped. has anyone else anything to add?

I actually completely forgot about this album over the winter. I'll have to dig it out. In related news, one of my life goals is to record a reggae version of The Spark That Bled. I've become strangely obsessed with the idea during the last few months.

i heard a reggae version of that celine dion song from titanic a while back, an upbeat jolly reggae version. it was deadly, its actually a good song

 

[Milker]

Was that Dark Side of The Moon cover album w Rollins et al any use? Didn't register on my radar I'm ashamed to say.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

i only listened once, it was quite good though. it was pretty faithful to the original but still sounded like the flaming lips. i recall us and them being a highlight, whereas on the original it was a rare weak link.

They seem to have given up on making catchy pop songs altogether.

wayne coyne is always posting questionable photos of his missus on twitter

I've been [...] feeling that they could be overkilling the whole "dancing bunny, white suits, ain't life a blast" mode.

No shit. And that was 5 years ago.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

They're probably still doing that live (if they are doing it, i dunno) because their records these days are all noisy tuneless fuzzy jams that the yoshimi fans wont buy

 

[Goodbye]

Saw them do it a few weeks ago. Yawn.

Saw them do it a few weeks ago. Yawn.

I thought it was deadly. You left after two songs.

 

[Goodbye]

Damn right I did.
