At their "secret" MySpace show last night (TMT News), The Flaming Lips revealed that they've already completed their follow-up to Embryonic (TMT Review): a complete reinterpretation of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Why am I not shocked? According to the LA Times blog, the Lips recorded the album with Stardeath and the White Dwarfs (TMT Review), a band that includes Coyne's nephew Dennis, ...

Isn't it funny to watch Warner Bros. Records flail around to try and promote oddball acts like The Flaming Lips these days in the hopes that they'll somehow sell 10,000,000 records? Case in point, to coincide with this week's release of The Flaming Lips' freaky new abandoned-moonbase-under-water-sounding double-LP Embryonic (TMT Review), Warner will be doing their best hungry, DIY label imitati...

Embryonicis a frustrating listen. It benefits from an abundance of ideas, soundsand talent, but it sorely lacks in taste. Not just from the aestheticangle either, it literally lacks flavour. Correct that: it doesn’t lackflavour, it’s just that there’s only one flavour.

ALBUM REVIEW: The Flaming Lips – Embryonicwords: Jamie MiltonWhen you approach ‘Embryonic’, it’s not totally unfair to approach it with haste. This is after all a band who, 26 years into their career, pride themselves on gutsy flings with previously unapproachable genres and combinations of sound. Rightfully, they have no fear, no limits.Holding that thought, [...]

Unless you too have been living on mars, you've heard that Wayne Coyne, musical maestro mad-man of The Flaming Lips just recently released his cinematic magum opus: Christmas On Mars. The film was shot in 'Do-It-Yourself' style, using grainy 16 mm black-and-white film, mostly in Wayne's backyard- outfitted to look like a spaceship on Mars. It also took 7 years to finish, during which time The F...

When scouting for guests on the Flaming Lips' follow-up to 2006's At War with the Mystics frontman Wayne Coyne just picked up the phone. "For the Karen O tracks," he told Swiss website Die Klangschau, "I just called her up in her hotel room and we just did it right over the telephone. It's pretty absurd." The Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman is expected to appear on more than one track on the album...

For '09 nothing is going to beat the video of the Berlin woman being mauled by a polar bear. Nothing. But when it comes to music videos there's some debating. Only four months into "the year of the ox" and already we see Super 8 being used to its finest, no end to dolly track one could use, and some crazy lighting special effects taking certain music videos to the top.
