That was... odd. I guess. I liked it though. Definitely nowhere near the original in terms of awesome though.

What song did Phish do?

h8kurdt 04.25.2006 10:15 AM

Sounds great, on the interview they sound like really intelligent guys.

huoxito 04.25.2006 10:22 AM

to m that really sounds like unmade bed ......
by the way great mix of songs: unmade bed and the quarter ...... it is nice.

h8kurdt 04.25.2006 10:39 AM

Nearly finished the thing. I'm gonna have to dig out Yoshima and get into it 'cos i'm really digging this stuff. Again they're clever bunch of blokes, i'd like to have a chin-wag with them.

It was pretty interesting. I like the original better, but it was nice to hear a different voice singing it for once

Actually this is a very boring cover.....
I don't like the voice at all......it's nearl destroying this song (the original) and making fun of it......at least it seems so

Well it's subjective. I think they're taking a different angle at the song, which is what makes covers more interesting instead of simply recreating the same song, the exact same way.

i went to see the flaming lips last night and they are by far the greatist band that i have ever seen, and ive seen alot of bands, including sonic youth.

krastian 04.25.2006 02:23 PM

I thought it was ok, but I thought it would have been better though. Where's the guitar!?!

createsounds 04.25.2006 05:29 PM

.....no man i think they (phish) did jam a sonic youth song .....
.. i personally cant stand that shit(phish) but some of my friends are really in to that jam band shit .... .. and thats they only reason i know .. is cuz they were tellin me about how it was .........ill try to find out more and post the details...

krastian 04.25.2006 05:47 PM

I think yr friends might be mistaken. Here is a list of all the songs they covered. I skimmed the list real quick just to make sure and I didn't see any......not that you care either way.

Yep.

nancykitten 04.26.2006 06:06 AM

Not a great cover really.

kingcoffee 04.26.2006 10:05 AM

Yeah, I dont really care for the cover of Unmade Bed, but I liked the cover of No Code. But in all honesty you can't hate the Flaming Lips, they are just too good.

kingcoffee 04.26.2006 10:06 AM

Besides, I've heard much worse covers by better bands.

atari 2600 04.26.2006 12:15 PM

That crap they tried to pass off as artistic music on Letterman last night sucked badly. I've never been a fan of them. Admittedly, the most exposure I've had to their music is when Transmissions From the Satellite Heart was out in the '90s. Some friends have met & played with them before & like them. I don't have time for "nearly-there" crap bands like The Flaming Lips (or Wilco or Pearl Jam for that matter). Sonic Youth have been keeping rather dubious company lately. I agree that Eddie Vedder (other thread) has a good voice & that the band executed an admirable bowing-out to the machine, but I don't listen to them. !@#$%!'s remarks on Ten's production are funny because they are true. Their other albums are better & I would put Vitalogy & No Code at the top. I had a few albums & bootlegs & instead of even copying them to cd-r, I gave them away to a younger guy that used to be a housemate last year. I gave him some Smashing Pumpkins too. He also borrowed lots of Led Zeppelin, but I made him copies of those. As he was moving out, I was able to spot the two Led Zep he still had & was able to get those back also, thankfully; he didn't get copies of those.

h8kurdt 04.26.2006 01:41 PM

Their was me thinking Pearl Jam ad made it big. Silly me.

hambu hodo 04.26.2006 02:38 PM

i thought it was a great cover. guitar solo was a little silly, but i think i like the cover just as much as the original.

RockerNino 04.26.2006 02:40 PM

that was really cool. i hope they tour togetther sometime and play each others songs. i just think it would be interesting.
