Got my ticket the other day to see the Lips for the first time at Buku Fest on the 22nd  They've come through here like 3 or 4 times in the last several years, and for one reason or another, I've missed every one of those shows. So now I'm finally rectifying my mistakes and going to see them. I'm hoping the set is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

Includes Devo's "Gates Of Steel" from the original DEV-O Live EP and a previously unreleased cover by The Flaming Lips all on gorgeous silver vinyl! "Gates of Steel" was the 4th single from Devo's 1980 breakthrough album, Freedom Of Choice and is a fan favorite. Prolific psych-rockers The Flaming Lips covered of Devo's "Gates of Steel" live in 2013 and released the song first as a video. Shot during the same live session as the "Turning Violent" video , the Freedom of Choice cut was adapted to fit the radiantly noisy sonic and visual esthetic that the band's been flaunting since The Terror.

Saw the Lips live for the first time tonight and I'm pretty sure my head exploded multiple times. It was a short set since it was a festival and they weren't headlining (only like an hour and 15 minutes, which meant an hour since Wayne talked a bunch) but still pretty incredible. They opened with Look...The Sun Is Rising and played Yoshimi Part 1, Race For The Prize (slow then fast), Do You Realize, The WAND, A Spoonful Weighs A Ton, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (which was a real treat), and a couple others. There was a mass of LED light strips on stage that changed colors really quickly and Wayne was singing from a metal podium that rose out of the tangled light strips. And he was wearing this glittery cape and later he donned this like balloon bodysuit thing that made him look a metal version of the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man. It was very weird but weird is what I was expecting so it delivered and I was real happy about that. If it had been a longer set, it probably would've been in my top few live acts that I've ever seen. Still, I'm very glad I got to see them finally. It was worth the wait.

 So apparently the Lips announced that they weren't done with the Dark Side Of The Moon thing after all and that they're releasing a companion album meant to be played at the same time as DSOTM, entitled Flaming Side Of The Moon. quote:For ideal listening conditions, fans are encouraged to seek out the original Alan Parsons’ engineered quadraphonic LP mix of Dark Side, but it will work with the album on any format Furthermore, Flaming Side Of The Moon quote:was also carefully crafted to sync up perfectly with the 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz. It's most likely an April Fool's joke

It fits the Lips perfectly that they would make an April Fool's Joke that is an actual real thing and not just a fake album title. edit: Also, it's really good, but you can tell they just got hosed up and hung out in the studio loving around. Has anyone tried syncing it up yet, because that's the part I don't really buy. edit2: OK wait this is syncing up really well actually precision fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Mar 31, 2014 |

That's a major bummer for me because I have always thought the drumming on the Lips' latest releases have been inspirational. Legitimately, Embryonic is one of the best albums because of Kliph (or Steven???)

A couple of people who I'm guessing are pretty close to the band seem to have left comments on this Brooklyn Vegan article about what's been going on with Wayne and Kliph. Don't really have any concrete proof that they're true, but it's the most plausible theory I've seen online:quote:Kliph wasn't fired for calling Wayne out on his midlife crisis b.s. (although if anyone in that band had the nuts to bring it up to Wayne, it would be Kliph!) He was fired for taking a stand against Wayne's new buddy - the daughter of OK's tea-bagging, homophobe governor Mary Fallin - when she donned a Native headdress for a racist publicity stunt. When Kliph called her out on social media for being a shithead to the Oklahoma Native community who complained about her headdress publicity stunt, she tattled on him to Wayne. Wayne actually told Kliph he was fired for insulting Fallin publicly. On a kinda-related note, word from Wayne's inner circle is that he was so geeked about getting an invite to Governor Teabagger's mansion for a party with a bunch of 20-something Republican hipster wannabes (friends of the Gov's daughter) that he was practically begging his band mates to go with, an invite that everyone else in the band felt was pretty lame and to which everyone else declined. Not Wayne tho. He and Fallin are pretty tight...he recently posted an even more offensive picture of his dog wearing an authentic looking Native headdress in response to the Oklahoma Native community's backlash against Fallin for her headdress stunt. No one in the band dares speak out on this one bc they have families to support and Wayne has bogarted all the Flaming Lips earnings and keeps them all on a pretty short financial leash. He is like the innocent little boy in Citizen Kane that just eventually went bad...it just happens to some people. He is now a full fledged, desperate-for-attention, shameless, tasteless fool. Who is smack dab in the midst of a midlife crisis...his glittery makeup is something his 20-year old girlfriend makes him do! quote:He wasn't exactly busted for cheating. Another Wayne semi-friend here who knows what he's turning into but not in a position to really talk about it openly bc too many nice people could be negatively affected. Case in point: Kliph (although KS spoke up himself and only about that Fallin idiot, but I don't think he ever thought Wayne would punish him for it!) Wayne wasn't busted for cheating though. Word among friends is that he just called his wife one day and said "Hey don't come home; I have a girlfriend I've been seeing for a while and I just want to hang out with her." I hear so much buzz amongst that circle that his gf Katy has a lot to do with his changes. People tried to tell Wayne's friends to warn him about her before she dug into him too far, but they were all like not concerned at all...and now are like, "poo poo." Apparently, Katy Weaver's own friends claim that before she started dating Wayne she set a goal to land either Wayne Coyne or one of the Thunder players, and it was just easier to get an audience with WC...she's just a local bimbo climber with nothing to offer the world except her semi-pretty face. It seems like a pretty sad situation that, since dating her, he has declined in all positive areas and skyrocketed in really embarrassing ones. I'm not surprised at all that the glitter is her doing. So sad. It's crazy that a guy like Wayne is letting the Christina Fallin types guide him in what is cool. Too bad Drozd has to be associated with this poo poo. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2014/04/the_flaming_lip_21.html

Jesus Christ, who cares about Wayne Coyne's personal life? The Lips put out two awesome records recently, The Terror and the Peace Sword EP. As long as they're still making music that good and not like, committing actual crimes, I couldn't give less of a poo poo.

This whole debacle upsets me so much because the Terror was so loving good. So it's not like Wayne's bullshit has made the band incapable of producing any more great music. He just needs to stop being so up his own rear end and shut his goddamn mouth.
