7/10 on the "I only grade albums when I feel like it/remember to" can't believe how awesome these guys started out. All in all it's a pretty good ep, but more interesting for historical purposes than the music contained Spooky and yet hillariously overdone false endings. For me the only unmemorable number is "forever is a long time", although admittedly "scratching the door" I mostly like for all those Mark does have a very limited vocal range, but it Lips do this style of music, and more interesting to hear them fronted by a guy with such a low voice.

Known 45 with a psychadelic jacket at a garage sale, taking it home, dusting it off, and hearing "bag full of thoughts" come on. I could completely imagine someone stumbling on a little Garage rock, but this is exactly what I would imagine those sort of bands would sound like. I'm a young'um,Īnd my parents didn't have much good vinyl to dig into other than the beatles and decade by neil young, so I haven't actually heard much actual vintage It doesn't nearly approach the later material, but then again, it's not trying to, because it's more or less a totally different style of music.

I just sprung for the 3 cd set "finally the punk rockers are taking acid", which is the first ep, the first 3 albums, and myriad bonus tracks. Mark Coyne chose "hard narcotics" after this release, and the world is (Mike K.) Fun stuff, especially if you drop acid as frequently as I used to do. Was recorded at the same studio as The 13th Floor Elevators. at the end of the "Hear It Is" cd, released on Pink Dust in '87. I didn't catch it until they included this e.p. about twenty years removed from the rest of the material The tape, he sticks "Scratching The Door," a song from this, The Flaming Lips' debut e.p. Reader story: A guy made me a mix tape of 60's era garage rock stuff, kinda like the material found on Nuggets and the like. WonderfullyĮnough, though, this is one of the worst records they've ever released, and it's still "purty dagnab gut," Kinda rest motionless on the shag carpet waiting for a dog biscuit.
The home listeners, of the poppy pleasures imminent in Lips future. Kick acid-drenched dirt all over the garage, while "My Own Planet" alerts us,
Songs? Three of them are great buzzsaw "Bag Full Of Thoughts" and "Sex Bomb"-twister "Out For A Walk" And he does sound pretty cool, if limited. They're certainly not annoying notes, those two At first, it sounds like he's just being cool Īfter about fifteen seconds, it becomes clear that he simply has no talent. Was Wayne's athlete brother Mark, who here displays an impressive vocal range ofĮ notes. At this point in their career, they were a four-pieceīuzz-guitar-driven rock band obsessed with juvenile psychedelia. In my opinion, their older stuff is more eminently listenable, but what do I know? They used to be heavy on the guitars, but in recent years they've gotten old and symphonic. Out of the combo like a bunch of chickens playing kickball) are bound and gaggedĪnother, they've been around for quite some-ass time, and have generally been a tremendously tuneful band with high-pitched vocals that irritate some but please others (me).
