Flaming Lips + Tripping Daisy = Freaky

[I_SMELL_FEAR]

Is there 2 lead singers that sound more alike than Tim Delaughter (Tripping Daisy) and Wayne Coyne (Flaming Lips)?

I have been on the Tripping Daisy train since it left the station, but I am embarassingly late to the Flaming Lips party. Other than She Dont use Jelly, I have not heard a lot of them...but it is freaky how close they sound on most songs.

I am freaking out man....

It was actually pretty cool, I mean, i knew it was close, but I didn't know it went in until we drove down to the green.

Everyone should get one at least once.

I don't think they sound the same at all. I think Tim's is more even keeled, whereas, Wayne's is more (to use BRJ's descrip) warbly.

Is Tripping Daisy still around? Nm, I just looked them up. I had no idea they stayed together as long as they did. I last saw them at Bryant Park on the 4th of July in 95. They put on a hell of a show at CBGB in 93 or 94.

I've heard of them, I just had no idea that it was some members of TD that formed it.

[I_SMELL_FEAR]

Yeah, I got some Polyphonic spree....my co-workers hate me for it also. I tried to get them into it by showing them some video of polyphonic spree.

Note to self: Do not try to convince co-workers that polyphonic spree is cool by showing them videos.

Hey Sooneron or Hatfield...or anyone else for that matter

I've been looking around the internet for it and it appears to be roughly $70.00 freaking dollars.

Anyone? Anyone?.....Bueller?

It was titled Tripping Daisy- 70 bucks sounds pricey for an album that's 6 years old and it prolly didn't land them in court!

I don't have anything past their EP that came out around 97. It has a good cover of PIL's Rise and a couple of other decent ditties. You may want to try Dallas stores online or give a few a call. I'm sure they'd ship for pretty cheap.

I've been looking for the Billy Goat cd Bush roaming Mammals. I'll gladly trade a rip of it for some of my stuff.

edit:
I just saw the last TD cd on ebay

[sooneron]

Oh C'mon! NO ONE has Billy Goat's Bush Roaming Animals??

Sorry I missed this before... ...Tim Delaughter has cited the Lips as a huge influence on Tripping Daisy. As much for the the way they went about their business as much as anything, if I remember right. They really were in the same scene, of course. TD and the Lips were pretty friendly, I think.

As for Billy Goat, they rocked my face off many times live in Deep Ellum bars, Liberty D's, and VZD's. They were unbelievable. I really thought they would break about the time RHCP were getting huge. I think with RHCP and Faith No More, there just wasn't much more room for the funk thing, but they were worthy of much more commercial success.

I also saw their predecessor band, Ten Hands, many times at places like Club Da Da. They were also tremendous. They had a passionate following that was extremely ****ed when they broke up. Sorry Sooneron, I don't have that one, though...
