Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics

I ran my list by a friend of mine and he suggested I mention The Flaming Lips. I most certainly would have but I thought it was a 2005 release. Good thing because they are defiantly worth mention.

The Flaming Lips catering to the audiophiles with their close attention to 5.1 surround recording is a major step that seems to be the complete opposite direction of everyone else. In a time when things are being degraded to 128 bitrate it is really nice to know someone thinks like I do. I’m not an audiophile by any means yet I can totally tell the difference between the itunes 128 bit and a good 192 and up bitrate. I want my highs to pop. In the meantime it seems noone else is noticing.

I missed out on the STL show due to its rapid sell out at the Pageant.  After seeing a live video I really am sorry I missed out.

W.A.N.D. and Free Radicals are both very fun to play on guitar. Just makes me wish I had a fuzz pedal. The lyrics of Free Radicals sums up my feelings towards a few people.

You think you’re so radical
I think you oughta stop
(Say what)
But you’re going international
They’re gonna call the cops
(No, No, No)

You’re turning into a poor man’s donald trump
I know those circumstances make you wanna jump
Oh no

You think you’re radical but you’re not so radical in fact you’re fanatical
Fanatical X2

I’ll tell you right now
(right now)
You oughta change your mind
(yes)
All of your friends are (uh huh) standing in line
They’re getting tired of your attitude fast
You better loose it X2
Without all your bodyguards
How long would you last?
Not long
(not long)
Check out the live video for W.A.N.D.

Check out the slow motion pillow fight video of W.A.N.D.

Excellent look and feel. Check out the Eames Arm Shell Chair in the background
