Saw The #FlamingLips last night at the Woodland Park Zoo, here in #Seattle - which now I think is my favorite venue (on top of being a great zoo!). Such a great show, and such an easy-going and friendly crowd. ...And you ever have a chance to see them live, do it!

Pink robots were battled here this night.

#waynecoyne and the #flaminglips brought the #yoshimi tour to downtown #pdx last night. Show was killer, recommend it if you have the opportunity to see. Probably my top Flips album. Good stuff even though there was a shooting literally 2 minutes after I left the venue 😞.

I used to make fun of my college roommate because he always seemed to be listening to obscure bands with one hit song, but not the track with any popularity…some early album from their catalog with their weirdest stuff. I was such a philistine.

Está claro que no estamos ante un LP normal. Por ejemplo, el inicio es un latido, como si viniéramos a este mundo; nada de canciones explosivas para tener las espadas en alto desde el principio. Los temas se van sucediendo unos a otros sin que te des cuenta, como buen álbum conceptual.

También, cuando estás totalmente inmerso en la escucha, te despiertan decenas de relojes de pared, como si hubieras estado soñando. Son unos cachondos estos Pink Floyd.

Es posible que el único tema realmente comercial del disco sea #Money y por eso fue single, pero mis favoritos son los dos que cierran el disco de manera apoteósica: #BrainDamage y #Eclipse, sin olvidarnos de #UsAndThem, cuya influencia puede notarse en muchos grupos posteriores. Me viene #FlamingLips a la cabeza, por ejemplo.

Esta edición es la del cuadragésimo aniversario, en 2013 y, como no puede ser de otra forma, ya han sacado la edición del 50 aniversario. ¿Se queda obsoleta mi copia? ¡De ningún modo! Cuenta con varias pegatinas, un par de posters y una presentación preciosa y muy cuidada. Uno de los LP que le dan lustre a mi colección.

“She Don’t Use Jelly” (Cover by Ben Folds Five in 1997; originally by the Flaming Lips in 1993)

https://youtu.be/y1h4eshrlNo (audio only - studio version)

https://youtu.be/3OgQ2XRWw30 (live performance)

At first glance, the Flaming Lips and Ben Folds would seem to have little in common. Then again, both have a devout fan-base which has remained faithful over several decades and both have had some commercial success, but nowhere near what either deserves. The Lips, like every incarnation of Folds or the Ben Folds Five, rely on musical substance and creativity more than smooth vocals or Top40-style production. They each kinda go their own ways, and it largely works.

“She Don’t Use Jelly” was the first song most of us heard from the Flaming Lips, and remains their most commercially successful release. This Ben Folds Five cover was first released as part of 1997’s “Lounge-A-Palooza,” a compilation of various artists and a complete mess I won’t go into here. The second time around was on the 2005 remastered re-release of “Whatever and Ever Amen,” the Ben Folds Five’s 1997 breakout album which included both “Battle of Who Could Care Less” and “Brick.”

While the studio version is naturally richer and more layered, the live version included here is phenomenal in its own way as the Ben Folds Five (which consists of only 3 lads) passes around the lead vocal seamlessly and manages to produce a wall of sound you’d swear required at least double their number. It’s just that damn good.

My Top 1000 Songs #191: Everyone Wants To Live Forever. The Flaming Lips temper their early, boisterous acid rock with killer hooks, walking the line between crank-the-volume post-punk & almost-radio-ready indie pop. Plus that creepy ooh-wop-wop refrain! #music #FlamingLips https://www.jitterywhiteguymusic.com/2023/02/my-top-1000-songs-191-everyone-wants-to.html
