phunkyb Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Is anyone else into the Flaming Lips? I have been listening to them for a while and they are fucking out of control! I have a bunch of live shows if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Gruvsten Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 I'm a huge Flaming Lips fan-i have all the albums. Dave Fridmann(the producer/multi-instrumentalist) that did this album is a personal hero of mine, his work is extraordinary. By all means check out the previous releases!! Also, I wholly recommend checking out Mercury Rev if you haven't done so, these 2 bands and Fridmann go way back, all of their work together is spectacular!!

hamilton Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 I, too, like the Flaming Lips. I wish I had gone to see the last Beck tour when it hit Massey Hall - The Flaming Lips served as both opening band, and Beck's backing band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 Love 'em. Saw the tour with beck back in October and it was incredible. Also saw them back in '94 when they were on 2nd stage at Lollapallooza. They've come a long way! Yoshimi, Clouds Taste metallic and Transmissions From the Sattelite Heart are all superb pop albums.
