The same extraordinary madness that infected the best work of Brian Wilson rears its head on the shimmering and melodic Clouds Taste Metallic, a masterful collection which completes the Flaming Lips' odyssey into the pop stratosphere.

I’ve been on a serious vinyl kick for nearly a year now. There’s just something about records, y’know? They just sssssmell good!But I bring this up because I’ve also got an entire plastic mountian megaload a of CD collection (topping out over just 1,000, I think), and I’ve been neglecting them for quite some time. That is, until a coupla days ago when I decided to give this whole MOG .CO
I am new to MOG, saw that you could upload MP3's for people to listen too. So I thought people should know about this song. It is a not so heard song by the Flaming Lips - Brainville. If people like I may post another Lips song in a few weeks.
