The Flaming Lips
 

Holy cow I love this band. Probably the only alt/indie band I like but from what I know they've got a high rep in the alt/indie world. I figure you all know them but for those of you who don't I'll give you the brief description.

Amazing alternative band from Oklahoma City the Flaming Lips consist of Wayne Coyle, Mark Coyle, Richard English and Michael Ivins. Basically they're a big mix between acoustic guitar and electronica stuff. I'm not even really sure what's going on most of the time, I'm just enjoying myself too much to really listen to what the band is playing. Short story short, they're amazing and I love them.

Such a great band. YBTPR is a wicked album, I love "Fight Test."

I heard the new Flips song of the "Wedding Crashers" soundtrack it was pretty tight.

They're recording a new album now. I'm so excited.

I be looking forward to that release as well. I have [I]Yoshimi[/I] and [I]The Soft Bulletin[/I] and I love them both, equally.

Easily one of the best live bands EVER.



I'm listening to [I]Yoshimi[/I] now...

Crazy awsome.

They are starting to become one of my favorite bands, They are just simply amazing.

me too.

I recently got Zaireeka, aswell, but I havent listened to it yet.

The Flaming Lips are great, I have like 5 or 6 of there cds. I cant wait to hear there new album, it will hopefully be a good one. The Flaming Lips always had a feel of being our generations pyschedlic pop to me.

Yoshimi was a great recording period for them. Ego Tripping is still my favorite song they've done. It has been since I first heard it when the album came out. I'm really excited to hear the new album.

[I]Yoshimi[/I] is indeed an awesome album from an awesome band. And I giggle to myself whenver I hear [I]Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots pt. 2.[/I] It's just so ridiculous!

I got Clouds Taste Metallic recently, so I'm starting to get into that, though I still love The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi. This Here Giraffe rocks my world.

I would [i]love[/i] to see them live, I hope they tour in the UK with the new album. That'd be awesome.

I saw them live when they were touring with Beck. The Flaming Lips opening for Beck is one of the greatest things the music industry has ever produced. Such a great show, one of the happiest experiences of my life.

Are they planning on a new album? I know the DVD came out.

Everyone loves the Lips, c'mon. Wayne Coyne is such a fly guy.

I'd love to see them live someday.

The Lip's are indeed a great band. I've got [I]Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots[/I] and [I]Transmissions from the Sattelite Heart[/I], they're both two awsome albums. The [I]Yoshimi[/I] album is a mixture of acoustic guitar and electronica (as mentioned by ThievesandBastards) while [I]Transmissions[/I] is a bit more poppier rock with a few traces of electronica.

I recently got "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" and... it's undescribably beautiful, happy and sometimes hysterical. I love In The Morning of Magicians by a gigantic heart.

I have Yoshimi on red vinyl. It's so beautiful. :)

They are indeed - At War With The Mystics could be out by the end of this year (although maybe not).

They went from pretty fun and experimental to a psychedelic riot between "she don't use jelly" and now. I like it all.

Yeah, I love their experimentation. I'm listening to "Fight Test" right now, how could you not like this song?

I met Wayne Coyne and that drummer boy.

Nicest man alive.

They covered Bohemian Rhapsody for a Queen tribute album recently.

yeah, i love the flaming lips. i have soft bulletin and yoshimi. their experimentation is great. with some bands, it seems like they churn out the same music on each album but with the lips everything is new and there are always so many layers to the music that make successive listenings that much better.

They also covered "Cat Stephen"s Father and Son... kinda :P

I really don't like The Flaming Lips. I own both The Soft Bulletin and YBTPR and they're just a bit too..eh, wimpy.

Probably my favorite at this moment, Yoshimi battles, fight test, do you realize, race for the prize are all great songs. She dont use Jelly is like my favorite song to play on guitar.

I saw The Flaming Lips on Austin City Limits one night at like 1 am on PBS. and it was awsome, because the whole setup looked like some happy sunny LSD trip. And I thought it was funny they covered War Pigs by Black Sabbath and they did "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" with the guitarist dad playing saxaphone.
