Race for the Prize came on shuffle on Spotify for me tonight and it made me sad because I remembered how loving great this band used to be and how they're nowhere near that now

I remember thinking Peace Sword was cool, but also I haven't listened to it in years. It didn't leave the kind of impression on me that makes me think every so often "Oh man, that Peace Sword EP was really dope. I need to revisit that." like other Lips projects I've enjoyed a lot.

precision posted:I guess "hate" is a strong word but it feels like a product nobody needs or wants. Casual Lips fans don't need a Greatest Hits because Spotify has a playlist feature, hardcore Lips fans already own all those songs. It just feels like WB said "yo we're gonna do this whether you want to or not" and Wayne decided to try and control the narrative by making it seem like his idea.

precision posted:It looked to me like everyone was there for Crystal Method. So even Moby fans don't go to see Moby. He did a cover of "Everybody Hurts". Moby is the whitest man alive Crystal Method, on the other hand, who I saw in October, still own.

Edward Mass posted:I saw the Lips last Wednesday, and out of the three times I've seen them it was the best they've ever been. How?? sounded miles better than the album version. They're performing Yoshimi in its entirety on this tour, so that was an absolute treat. They did that as one set, took a break, did another set, then did an encore. In the second set they played She Don't Use Jelly, Waitin' for a Superman, The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song, Pompeii Am Götterdämmerung, My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion, A Spoonful Weighs a Ton, Race for the Prize and a few others. Just an incredible couple sets in which they played almost everything I could want to hear from them. How is Wayne still doing this? I looked him up on Wiki on the way home and he's 63 years old  But he's still energetic as hell, doing costume changes and set changes for almost every song of the second set. And yes, he got in the bubble and performed a few songs from there.Also, the amount of confetti blasted out was absurd. By the end of the show, I was absolutely covered in it. And the show was in this beautiful historic theater, so I don't envy the cleanup that has to happen after that.
