yoshimi battles the soft bulletin: prelude to war

Did you know that war was brewing?
Can you hear the trumpets sound?
Over the hillside the gunpowder clouds
Forming where rivals surround.














Is it wrong to pit one piece of art against another?
Is there nothing to be gained?















I've given this time and thought, and no matter what is moral or ethical, this battle must commence.














So rise up, Yoshimi! Rise up, Soft Bulletin! For in the coming days you will fight to the death, and once and for all we will know which star shines brightest.















In other words, in the coming days and/or weeks we'll take a look at The Flaming Lips' duel triumphs, "The Soft Bulletin" and its follow-up "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots," and once and for all decide which one is better. An impossible feat? We shall see.

So find those albums and get to listening. Form opinions. Prepare for war.
