I am so psyched!

After listening to Embryonic, I'm optimistic about their ability to work with creative elements, especially the kind that are infused throughout Dark Side of the Moon...

Love this band, this is going to be very memorable I think.

This negatively affected my tone in ways that I just can't describe.
Then, on a whim, a few years ago I wandered into a Bath and Body Works store at a local mall and picked up some of their gentle foaming anti-bacterial hand cleansers.
The difference in my guitar's sound is so wickedly improved that I no longer feel the need to buy a new amp or pedals or even strings...EVER!
So, it's my belief that tone is in the soap.
Thank you and goodnight.

At first, I was a bit offended... then, I realized that I don't care all that much. It could end up being something pretty awesome.

...baaadd idea. But I'll definitely check it out. I just find the Lips a bit grating in recent years.

I'm excited...it has the potential to be something really neat. If not, well it's not going to be much of a surprise and the original still stands. Not a big deal if it fails miserably.

When bands redo their own songs the newer versions are always lame. I can't imagine how awful this will be.

They're not redoing their own songs (?)

Yeah, I'm saying that when bands redo their own songs, the new versions are never as good, so since the Flaming Lips are redoing ANOTHER bands songs, it definitely won't be anywhere near as good as the originals.

But you're not proving anything by using that example. You're presupposing that the other band's product must be equal to or less than the original band's. Besides there's really nothing about this specific case that would cause us to believe so. Yet.

I had to prove something?

I suppose I am presupposing. I said it, so it's my opinion. I don't like most cover songs, as they're never as good as the originals. Thus, I think this is a stupid idea. It's my opinion, it doesn't have to be yours.
