swannymere Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 Should be interesting Flaming Lips cover Stone Roses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 Saw this and shared with a few mates the other day. I'm certainly intrigued. I'm a big fan of both bands, and think they will certainly put their own spin on it. I think Flaming Lips have reached the point where they can just do what they want, and don't really care what people think (I like this). Have you seen the anatomically correct heart shaped chocolate usb album they are releasing for valentines? http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/news/latest-news/the-flaming-lips-release-anatomically-correct-chocolate-heart-compilation-album-117501?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-flaming-lips-release-anatomically-correct-chocolate-heart-compilation-album&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinger Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 So many conflicting emotions... This could, could, potentially be amazing. But god I wish they'd stop being so forcefully zany and just make a good record again. Stop exhorting everyone to 'have the greatest party of your life' and just play a good show. It's wonderful that they can do what they want without restriction, some great art gets made that way. But there are some artists who need an editor. I could of course stop listening, but I keep going back to see if they've finished p1ssing about with their celebrity mates yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedAndWhite91 Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 This has got disaster written all over it. Somethings should be left sacred. This was my reaction. I've never heard the Flaming Lips though so can't really comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can understand the sentiment but their zaniness and matey collaborations haven't got in the way of their day jobs. IMO their last 'proper' album, Embryonic ,was their best one yet -not a fan of their sugar-coated stuff- and their forthcoming album sounds like it will be good too. Not sure about them covering the Stone Roses but that's more of a general point against covers. As far as the particular album is concerned, think its pretty suited to the Flaming Lips cracked psychedelia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 This has got disaster written all over it. Somethings should be left sacred. I am with you to an extent, but done well these sorts of things can be really good. I really like Easy Star AllStars, who have made great covers albums of radiohead, the Beatles and pink floyd. Personally think it could go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 11 February, 2013 Share Posted 11 February, 2013 Seperate, but related(ish) seems Mr. Coyne & co are making quite the habit of this: http://www.nme.com/news/the-flaming-lips/68620 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 Seems they can't help themselves at the minute. So, yeah, it's not the Stones, but it's The Beatles. Didn't think a new thread was needed really. https://soundcloud.com/theflaminglips/lucy-in-the-sky-with-diamonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
