The world is a better place thanks to the flaming lips.
I had no idea that wayne painted that cover. My appreciation for him has improved!!!
Me too that is amazing!
One of my all time favorite album covers. So good.
He’s a great visual artist.
So many of the flaming lips songs, like 'do you realize', are so profoundly sad yet somehow incredibly reassuring. Its an intense feeling I don't think any other music I've listened to really captures in the same way.
Case in point, My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion....so stuck on that one right now
A lot like Radiohead. Listen to Let Down and No Surprises.
car seat headrest lol
its optimistic without being unrealistic or too saccharine. things arent gonna be alright in the end - but thats alright
It’s Summertime has this effect on me greatly
Wayne Coyne is a magician :)
Wayne Coyne is the Jeff Goldblum of music and I mean that in the most loving way. Maybe it’s a Pittsburgh thing.
I realize Jeff Goldblum is a musician and is therefore the true Jeff Goldblum of music.
I can see the similarities.
YESSSSS!!!!!
It's cool to think that Wayne made "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt. 1" simply thinking about someone actually battling a robot. But everyone took it to such another psychological level. It really shows just how genius this band is.
I think that often happens with music lyrics; they can mean many things at the same time and for different people, and many interpretations are acceptable. The vagueness of many lyrics allows for that, I think. Also I think it was Thom Yorke who said sometimes his lyrics are interpreted by people in different ways than what he meant explicitly, but he finds them acceptable interpretations because he might have been meaning other things subconsciously, you know
This album feels like the musical equivalent to antidepressants to me. It helped me through very dark times, and it's so simple, layered, reassuring, pink, comfortable, weird music. I love it.
lol it really is, even if it wasn’t in the title I think we’d still describe it as “pink”
Gluing sequins to your face looks nicer than tattoos
birsay123 evidently so. I wonder if they make them glow-in-the-dark
A lot less forever, too
Yeess, Birsay123!!!!!! I agreee!
And way, way, more original and interesting than dime-a-dozen tattoos.
every interview this guy just cements why he is one of the coolest to ever do it.
What an eccentric but fascinating guy
I am always in love with Wayne Coyne.
This record saved my life
@ 6:32 amazing to see him express this very profound truth... He is part musician and magician who gets to play his life away in a beautiful dance with the universe... And we get to watch ..
Their live show to me was like if Willy Wonka had a band and went on tour!!!🍄🌂🦄🎩⚡️🎉❤️🍭🍬🍫💥🤘
The 2 shows I went to during the Yoshimi & Mystics eras will both forever be in my top 5 concert experiences
Such a nice and interesting chap, just like I thought he would be....
What a good guy. Fantastic band.
Wayne not only gives insight; He also gives us all Optimism! I love The Flaming Lips! 😊
Luv his unique style lol
love flaming lips would love to see them live. got to see the chemical brothers in the 90s some mind blowing stuff
thats cool, seems like forever ago now
Go see them. You won't regret it!
What Aimee said....it's unforgettable
Great interview! That's awesome that they enjoy playing songs that people really like even after hundreds of performances.
Morning of the magicians.....beautiful
Dude sure does love giving interviews!
only a lovely mad hatter-ish artist would make such awesome music + wear bedazzled stickers paired with a bowtie so simply tied. love him! 💗
Flaming Lips at Bonnaroo changed my perception of live music performances and i was already really deep into jambands, etc. It was a magical place that only the Lips could pull off. Thank you for you!
Thanks Wayne for make That album!
Love you Wayne come back to Milwaukee bud 🤙
I prefer the 90s era Lips, but Wayne himself is awesome in any era. Long live Wayne
we love Wayne Coyne genuine artist did done doing remarkable things
Awesome album.. it totally worked!!!
It's still cool and refreshing now, i like listening to it every once in a while
Great album ❤
Happy to have met this man!
Wayne Coyne is a real life Mad Hatter
why is a raven like a writing desk?
@@treebles why?
@@KenMabie ~ i havent the slightest idea.
@@treebles CHANGE PLACES !
love this album
I just realised Wayne Coyne is a Platonist. Good times.
This is a great album. Love the spacey guitar sounds in some of these songs, reminds me of Pink Floyd and David Bowie.
The most beautiful album ever
There greatest and most genius album!
thier
Thair.
Embryonic for me, personally
white also v good
lair
True artist!
Luv him
lovely
He resembles an older Mark bolan ! ....especially with that
Lovely pink shirt. He's magnificent.
Legend!
Wayne is THE COOLEST man on Planet Earth. Right?!?
Yoshimi is amazing!!!
To me, it really feels like a continuation, a logical continuation to soft bulletin, and then "at war" was a huge departure...
They're certainly together an epic trilogy.
I think American Head is the the third album in the trilogy with Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi
awesome
The Flaming Lips are like the modern Beatles in terms of psychedelic sound and profound yet simple lyricism.
Who is Yoshimi? And who are the evil-natured robots? And what are the vitamins? Nothing really. But wow, you can metaphor chase all day! Love this song. Love these guys.
Cannot believe this is the Dont Use Jelly guy...wait maybe I can
Sounds dated? Created a classic. Much respect.
"it sounds like Yoshimi is either having sex or fighting a robot"
why cant it be both ? sex fighting a robot sounds kinky
Lolllll

Tom Baker=Wayne Coyne? BTW: best French fries ever circa 1987...LJS in OKC via Mr. Coyne...employee of the month!
It makes me really happy that Wayne found success in the Flaming Lips. I can't imagine him surviving in the real world. It would have been such a waste
Wayne didn’t even graduate high school and worked menial jobs for a long minute busting his ass before the Lips. Not to mention he got a gun stuck to the side of his head and robbed after a long shift at said working class job. I think he’s just fine out in the “real world”. Oh, did I mention what his older brothers are like…..
The application of turning pop music on it's head is the same thing Cheap Trick described doing when they created I Want You to Want Me. This band reminds me so much of Cheap Trick and I love both of them. The comparison is meant as a compliment of the first order.
Why do people hate creatives?
Axel wishes he was the musician Wayne is
I don't take anything Wayne says seriously when he got them bedazzles on lol
agree to disagree. it makes me appreciate him as an artist even more!
If he was pulling my leg I'd toss my arm upward. But I actually believe all this. So I won't.
Drummer with The Boredoms
Thanks for sharing, too Yoshi 🪄 Magic!
It was their last half decent album
What??? Half decent what do you think is so great by them I'm curious? And you don't think War, embryonic, the terror, all their experimental and cover band albums are what not good. I challenge your musical criteria.
@@joker-mo8cb LIPS were my 2nd favorite band. I started to lose interest when they turned into a bunch of sappy shits. Back in the day before Bulletin they were a real rock n roll band. Now they are just too cute
@@MENFUSSMIKE there is nothing cutsey about the terror
Or embryonic really
@@MENFUSSMIKE yeah come talk to me after you listen to embryonic, the terror, 7 skies high, strobo trip, even their as you call it sappy shit is still really good music. I mean to each their own but you need to listen to the albums I just mentioned and you will be like holy shit that's far from fucking cutsey. It's really kind of dark and very serious shit. And a song like waiting for Superman is one of the most amazing beautiful songs ever.
The Grammys have no correlation with musical talent, there should be no pride felt by the Grammys recognizing you.
ok?
I don’t really honk anyone asked you but ok
Do I dare say that I have NEVER heard of these guys. Sorry but I'm not impressed how come they are famous and I'm not?
satelllite heart was a pop record
nobody special I mean it was a minor commercial success, but overall I would say the sound is not at all a pop album. Plastic Jesus, Moth in the Incubator, and Oh My Pregnant head completely prevent whatever pop vibe is set up by jelly and turn it on, brother.
Pop? Hardly. Their pinnacle that had some pop moments
