Flaming Lips

[tdb810]

Honestly, I was never a big fan of theirs til I saw them close out Forecastle festival last summer. It was one of my favorite live shows ever, with the exception of a few special Jacket shows. I'm really hoping to catch them this summer now that I listen to them and whatnot.

This excites me.  I've been a casual fan of their music for almost two decades now but have never seen them live before and have been dying to.  Here's to hoping that the Hangout set is somewhat representative of their typical shows.

Two things:

1) Everything I've ever read is that their festival performances are the Flaming Lips at their best
2) When I saw them last spring, it might as well have been a festival. Confetti and lasers and balloons were everywhere

I left that show feeling like a better person, revitalized, and 1.4 years younger.

Get close, it'll be worth it. I almost stood in the back to be nearer to the alcohol, but there's always a ton of action on stage.

You old man, I'm not gonna be chillin' on the balcony for five nights.  I'll be up there with my bottle of bourbon

HAHHAHAHAH... DAAAAYUM he got you el chode... gotta give it to him

awww poor choder, it's a bad back thing!!!

Email from a friend.

Wayne's Twitter is silent on it, aside from mentioning this track and saying somethinga bout going to flaminglipsfree on YouTube at midnight

Well, this explains it. It's like a mini jumbo zaireeka.

Mini in that it is one song
Jumbo is that each song this year is meant to be played on top of the others with cell phones

Not cool. Hopefully some how Ill be able to obtain it as one giant track later this year.

Jesus these guys are confusing. I don't know what they've released this year, but there's more to come. 3 songs on a hard drive disk encased in a gummie skull and a theatrical production of Yoshimi also featuring songs from the soft bulletin and at war with the mystics.

I just need all their shot to be released digitally cause I can't keep up!!

Anyone else snagging Heady Nuggs the new box set?  I was trolling their message board and got no info on their limited special edition one other then that it will only be available on their online store.  Unfortunately, it's not posted yet and there is no time as to when it will be available.  I have all their music up til' Yoshimi but none on vinyl so I figured this might be a good way to just take the plunge.  I was wondering if I should snag the regular box set on RSD or if anyone knew when it would be posted on their online store.

I guess I'll have to peek in there to see if more info has been posted.

The Flaming Lips are coming here in September to the Keller, which is definitely not GA.  Somehow yesterday, during the pre-sale, I pulled 2nd row  :D

Wow, 2nd row for a Lips show!  Awesome. That will surely be a spectacle.
Psyched to see them at RR-- have lots of their music but have never seen them live.

New song from the Flips. Hopefully its a joke, Titles great but the lyrics are a little annoying, music is cool, as always.

The Flaming Lips Feat. Lightning Bolt - I Wanna Get High But I Don't Want Brain Damage with Intro

On another note, I have been blaring this song at my record store for a few days now.

The Flaming Lips My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion

You're right that is one awesome trifecta. I think At War With The Mystics maybe my favorite album by theirs. The W.A.N.D. into Pompeii Am Götterdämmerung is my favorite One-Two punch by them.
