“Do You Realize??”
The Flaming Lips fashioned in Oklahoma City in 1983. Over the final 4 many years, they’ve put out 16 albums. In 1999, they put out their album The Soft Bulletin, and that introduced them a brand new stage of success. And then, in 2002, they adopted it up with Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, which was their largest album thus far. Pitchfork named it one of many prime 5 albums of the 12 months, Stereogum referred to as it the most effective albums of the last decade, and so they gained a Grammy. And the most important music from the album was “Do You Realize??” So, for this episode, I talked to Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd about how that music was first imagined. You’ll hear the very first demo Wayne recorded for the music, and the demo he and Steven put collectively later, on their solution to making the ultimate model with producer Dave Fridmann.
