The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots


Listen Later

[DAVE's PICK] In the year 2002, The Flaming Lips were able to break into the mainstream with the expansive and mesmerizing "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots," winning a grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance for its closing track, "Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia)" and earning household recognition with it's smash hit "Do you Realize??" The Flaming Lips are no stranger to oddball concepts that are open to one's own interpretation, and the album definitely reflects it with the variety of elements at play, including a giant robot, a girl trained to fight robots, multiple dimensions and/or time travel, and even a quick balloon ride to Mars... but Wayne Coyne is kind of light on the context here sooo... Join Brad, Dave, and Jon A as they attempt to put together their own interpretation of what happens in this story.

Next up: (12-16-19) Fleetwood Mac -  Rumours
