The Flaming Lips

Post by NunoFreak »

I really like The Flaming Lips' song "Fight Test", which is the theme song for the MTV animated show "3 South". Anyone else dig this song?

Yes, I love The Flaming Lips. They're one of those bands I am finally getting in to when I should have like 7 years ago.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I have Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots part 1 on my PC, and I love it.

Somebody recommend some songs for me.

Can someone please tell me what's the appeal of this band, to me they sound staggeringly average. How the hell can they be considered experimental?? Hell, I'll say it, they sound like the friggin Eagles.
Al's emails put a smile on my face, even though all they say is "You've got a private message!"

"Sh*t, id be f*ckin' scared if us were opening for...us"

"baby, i wish you were my baby,
ill make u make a baby,
let's make electric power,
in fear u should not cower,
cuz girl i will protect u,
i promise not to sex u,
and IiiiiIiiiiIiiiiiiIiiiiiIiiiiii...." - Dudez a Plenti

"all by myself
cause I don’t want to drag you down, hold you down
cause you’re a friend
i blame myself
i guess you think it’s funny now, funny now
it's such a shame..."
-Feeder - Just a Day

I am still awesome.........................................................................................seriously.
