Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots - Flaming Lips - Acoustic Cover

For the love of potato gems and fish fingers use headphones or a stereo.
A quick cover knocked together to whet your appetite. (It'll probably be months before we get around to putting up our own stuff...)

Dude you have the strumming down! Can you tell me what strum pattern you use?

[alrightfineyouwin]

@crazyrees23 Hey :) I see you've asked the same question on a few yoshimi vids. Not sure that anyone will be able to easily explain the pattern they use. I just listened to the original a handful of times and also a few other covers and played it by feel/ear. You'll find most people will do it that way. I doubt what I play is totally faithful to the original. I remember that in the chorus I was adding some heavier up strokes to try and simulate the electronic 'wah, wah, wah' in the original.

From a slightly jagged but still parallel and talentless universe; damn you! & try pointing the mic not directly at the sound hole, try 45 degrees at the 12th fret or even at the soundboard to avoid those nasty spikes, or just goggle how to mic an acoustic guitar.

Jason Webley is Jesus Christ!

@notjareth Thanks. Hopefully our n00biness will slowly fade over time and with experience.

Manage to see Jason recently while he was in the country? Maybe we'll do a cover of Bacteria or something ;)

his voice actually suits flaming lips!!! now do a cover of "do you realize?"...... :)

[alrightfineyouwin]

@ej487 The shaggy one with the microphone is in Germany for a couple of months, so a cover of 'do you realize' will have to wait a little bit... good idea though. In the mean time check back over the next week or two, we'll upload some more songs to pass the time before the shaggy one gets back.
