Just a short blurb I wanted to write about before getting into this album, which by the way is magnificent.  Today, as I was roaming around the streets of Austin, I realized I have ONE MORE MONTH left if this year long expedition.  To think that it almost seemed like yesterday that I started this and realized it was going to be such an enjoyable trek.  THREE HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR albums I've listened to from April 20th, 2012 until today.  I can honestly say that this has been a commitment I've enjoyed and I will be sad when it comes to an end.  But don't cry tears of joy now because we have thirty-one records left to enjoy together.

I can't take all the credit for today's choice since it came from the immaculate collection of my roommates.  He gave me a few records to pick from and when I started flipping through them, this one caught my eye.  One, being The Flaming Lips and two, the cover tripped me out because there is a baby on it holding the guitar with laser eyes in the colors of the rainbow.  For those of you who do not know much of who The Flaming Lips are, they are such a fun, trippy, psychedelic and unpredictable band.  For a band as experimental as The Flaming Lips to cover Pink Floyd's 1973 masterpiece The Dark Side of the Moon, you have to tip your hat to them.  I say that because I believe, Pink Floyd's rendition of The Dark Side of the Moon is so perfect and amazing and for a band like The Flaming Lips to cover it, they did a spectacular job.  Incorporating acts like Henry Rollins and Peaches (who is a favorite of mine) with Stardeath and White Dwarfs, this album is a great cover.  Every song, from the first to the last, puts a perfect pitch on each song.  From the trippy sounds to the clear vinyl it came on.

Enjoy!
