Title: Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
Artist: Flamming Lips
Rating: 5/5

This album rocks! It more electronica then previous records. Its got a very futuristic/ animeish feel to it. I def recommend it for those who like of the path bands. Best song on album in my opinion is Do You Realize



Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

Yea, it's okay.. I think my favourite flaming lips is 'hit to death in the future head' ... it's quite delightfully mid-period and psychedelic, in an 'old mercury rev' way. The new one is also nice. And Transmissions from the Satellite heart kicks ass!

<3 @ teh rev

wtf?
Posted by cal, 18:13, 5th April 2004:
 
yawn

<3 = a heart (look sideway), or thus "love"
@ = at, meaning the word before it is being applied to the word after it
teh = the. indefinate article
rev = mercury rev

thus ends the english lesson

Yeah, cos that's fucking obvious, isn't it? Monkey bitch.

English? My left sweaty testicle, more like.

How does 'teh' mean the indefinate article? In Urdu? You trying to cover a typo?
