sweet. i havent heard of them doing this before

noumenal 04.23.2006 08:37 PM

Interesting. They did a nice job, but I think they sort of sapped everything good out of Unmade Bed. Same goes for the Led Zep.

holy shit, thanks!

val-holla-ing 04.23.2006 09:28 PM

first they cover bohemian rhapsody, now this? is nothing sacred to them?

hey alex 04.23.2006 09:55 PM

thanks, can't wait to hear it

I really didn't like the Unmade Bed cover that much...then again I'm not a big Flaming Lips fan.
No Quarter wasn't that bad though.

I am a HUGE lips fan, but I think they butchered it. It sounds like a "bad joke" honestly. I'm not hating on the lips, I have every single album and have always loved them(except Yoshimi), but this cover just sounds like a bad joke.

They do some really great covers, like Louis Armstrong's "What a wonderful World", which still blows me away, but this one just doesn't sound very "thought out" according to the Lip's potential. I think if they really put their minds to it, they could've done a much better job.

It was okay. The vocals kinda pissed me off though.

trainyard bliss 04.24.2006 02:56 AM

hahaha . . . this is interesting, but i may have to listen to it a few times before i get it. just kinda weird to hear the flaming lips cover sonic youth, as those two bands are my co-favorites. definitely exciting though--like seeing wayne wearing a sonic youth t-shirt in the slip cover of hit to death in the future head.

its ok, their death valley 69 cover is better

my god, a flips fan that doesnt like yoshimi, at last someone agrees with me. yoshimi is totally overrated. what u think of "mystics" kchris. i think its even worse!

Rob Instigator 04.24.2006 09:09 AM

I just heard it. I want to hear the Lips doing Death valley 69!

I like their cover of Unmabe Bed. They take it into space out mode. which the song was close too. The original's skronk is too beautiful to recreate though. Lee RULES!

wierder that the flaming lips jammin sy ... was PHISH jammin a sy song

greenlight 04.24.2006 11:01 AM

intersting to hear fp covering sy
nice cover, i mean it's not only simple cover of that song, but they've put something of theirs into it, how should it be actually

doctor dan 04.24.2006 11:12 AM

Teen Spirit too.

doctor dan, you can also download the interview you don't have to listen to it in streaming...

lunberg 04.24.2006 03:47 PM

Man, I'm listening to it right now, I cannot believe what they did to this song, they ruined one of the best SY song (why add SY?). They removed all the melodic and rythmic subtlety. It(the real version, not the cover ) kind of reminds of some jazz compositions. Like Unwind it's uncaracteristic SY but it's still a gem.

holy-reverb!! 04.24.2006 04:38 PM

they cover everything. the flaming lips version of war pigs w/ cat power (chan marshall) is interesting.
