I really love Yoshimi and AWWTM but the new one sounds like they passed out while the tape was rolling and they released the part right after they all woke up with giant hangovers and pissed and got a big drink of water. Mind bogglingly muddled and pointless.
I have taken a lot of razzing over the years for liking these guys (I have no problem with that).
If Wayne was in this room right now I would never stop cockpunching him. Their latest is the most incoherent piece of shit ever...
I didn't even make it through the whole "album", I frisbeed it out the window of my car after about 20 minutes of sheer unbelief.
Wayne you owe me 10 bux!!! hehehe
Funny, because this album (AWWTM) is generally considered their worst, or at least one of their worst, and Embryonic is considered one of their best. This is probably the only Flaming Lips album I won't bother to even listen to again. |

This song always reminds me of ELP or King Crimson with the keyboard sounds. Gets my attention every time. Kinda like those Flaming Lips!

I have it buried in my stack of cds to pull out on some random day far in the future to give another listen. Every now and then, a cd that I thought was a stinker ends up being a gem I wasn't able to appreciate properly at the time of purchase. However, most of the time I remember why I thought they sucked and bury them again.

I seem to recall having more than a passing interest in Yoshimi's battle with the pink robots and I have to say a little flaming lip here and there never did anyone any harm

I've heard a few of their songs that I really like. This one is OK. I saw them in Denver about 6 or 7 years ago and I ended up walking out. They had about 10 people in fuzzy animal costumes on stage dancing while they were playing and it was really weird. Liz Phair opened up and it was her we went to see anyhow. Oh well.

Damn I love this song! Saw these guys live a couple of New Year's ago in their hometown of Oklahoma City. Unforgettable.
I heard they have a wacky fan in OK, so I don't think I'll see them there. Don't get me wrong, I'm really jealous. |

" They get a 9 from me because I knew them ... and artists I know personally *always* get 9's." Very true, I have the same policy. Have a look at my Fave's list and you will see who I rubbed elbows with.  |

rice vinigar that can be found in any of the major supermarkets.) This isn't a plug for any one brand of rice vinegar,
however, this specific vinegar and brussel sprouts go together in a delightful combo.
I like to steam the sprouts in the rice vinegar, approx. 1-2 Tbs per serving —- or to taste. 
PS this vinegar also goes well with Okra. |

That's because cabbage tastes better when it's roasted, not boiled - mmmm, roasted Brussels Sprouts with balsamic vinegar. |

If you look veryclosely, about 3 inches above the standing figure, you can see what is left of the house fly that Wayne incorporated into his painting.

Definitely some Pink Floyd elements in there, though I'm not saying they hold a candle to the great Pink.
