Have you ever wanted some of Ke$ha's blood, but you were afraid to ask? Fortunately, now you can purchase a "blood vinyl" edition of The Flaming Lips' Heady Fwends Record Store Day exclusive doub... Continue reading "The Flaming Lips Cover The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows"" >

Wayne Coyne e seu Flaming Lips já possuem uma tradição na arte dos covers psicodélicos e - bem - polêmicos de clássicos da música. Agora é a vez de toda a distorção do Flaming Lips se encontrar com seu ancestral direto, os pioneiros das reverbs e ecos, o The Beach Boys . A faixa escolhida para essa reinvenção foi uma das mais importantes da obra-prima Pet Sounds , a romântica God Only Knows . A versão não agradará a todos os ouvidos. Na verdade, deve agradar aos fãs do som [...]

The Flaming Lips son una banda que siempre da de que hablar por sus extravagantes vídeos, declaraciones e incluso lanzamientos. Este año, por ejemplo, con motivo del Record Store Day, ponían a la venta (o al menos eso decían) una edición limitadísima de The Flaming Lips and Heady Friends que contenía literalmente la sangre de sus colaboradores , artistas como Ke$ha, Nick Cave o Bon Iver. Afortunadamente, no sólo de extravagancia viven The Flaming Lips, y sus lanzamientos suelen ser siempre de calidad, dando mucho de qué hablar también a nivel musical. [...]

Listen  to The Flaming Lips  cover The Beach Boys ' classic "God Only Knows" . We've already heard The Beach Boys ' newest track  last week, and now The Flaming Lips  have just surprised us with an unexpected cover of "God Only Knows"  off of one of the greatest pop albums, The Beach Boys '  "Pet Sounds" . The tune is almost nothing like the original, as the avant-garde rockers made the record completely their own, trading the sunny harmonies [...]

Today's Mix/Cover/Live includes Flaming Lips, Glen Hansard and Star Slinger.

Earlier this week we got an entirely unnecessary new Beach Boys song , and today we get The Flaming Lips covering one of their masterworks, Pet Sounds' centerpiece "God Only Knows." As they've been known to do, the Lips take the original's modest psychedelia and, for better or worse, turn it up to an 11. This pulsating, riffing mess is made sweet, however, by Wayne Coyne's fantastic and uncanny take on Brian Wilson . Beach Boys purists may not be into it, but fans of [...]

My third Flaming Lips post in a row, but this one surprisingly has nothing to do with Record Store Day. In celebration of the Beach Boys' 50th anniversary, UK music mag MOJO has compiled an original track-for-track Pet Sounds tribute album featuring folks like Saint Etienne, Gaz Coombes, Here We Go Magic, and those ever-busy Flaming Lips.
