Year by year: 1995


The Flaming Lips – CLOUDS TASTE METALLIC




This was interesting because I had already started writing a half-assed review (all these reviews are half-assed, granted) of Tricky’s Maxinquaye. Describing “Hell Is Around The Corner” in every saucing detail and how no straight man can resist going down on the girl while this song is on.

Also, this was interesting because I had already started writing a half-assed review (all these reviews, etc.) of Pulp’s Different Class. Describing “Underwear” in every saucing detail and how no straight man can resist undressing the girl as soon as this song starts playing. Or once it’s over. 

But it all came to nothing as there is no way I can listen to the first 25 seconds of “This Here Giraffe” by The Flaming Lips and not admit that however good that year was, I physically cannot choose another album. Sorry, Jarvis.
