"Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" the latest album by The Flaming Lips is so much better than the last two studio albums released by Radiohead. Hey, I can readily admit when one band's genius surpasses another's. That is the case with The Flaming Lips. I wish I can say I rallied behind this band for ten years, like I was some kind of a super fan or something. To be honest I only remembered one song by them, 93 or 94's "She Don't Use Jelly." Which was a minor hit back then. I hadn't heard one blip on the music radar from them since. It was about 2 months ago when I was watching TV and saw a commercial for their new album. The commercial featured animation based on the album cover as well as used the song "Do You Realize." Then came the "Wow, I remember that band" thought. Someday when I attain a lot of money I should go out and purchase some of their back catalog. Supposedly they have other albums that are good as the latest one. The "Soft Bulliten," for example. I still vividly remember seeing them perform "She Don't Use Jelly" on a television show back in 1994 and my cousin was in the room with me and he declared "They can barely play their instruments!" Yeah, okay.
