Oh My Gawd, It's the Flaming Lips!

From the first time I heard Oh My Gawd, I was hooked. Over the years, Wayne and Drozd have certainly been to the edge and brought back wonderful news everytime. So this time, thanks to an 'advance' torrent, I've been listening to the new album for weeks. It's good. Growing on great. It's like they took some of the catchy pop inflections of Yoshimi and went in a time machine and revisited the Beach Boys, then Pink Floyd at Pompeii then took a dose of Mercury Rev's flute stuff.
All in all , it's quite good, plenty of goofy fun to be had.
Go get it.
The Flips and Ween and the Go! Team will be at Red Rocks later this summer.

I never update this anymore...

Isn't this the case with all blogs? Editor laziness....
So, here's a quickie:
Go listen to some Manu Chao. Try any of it:
Manu Negra, Radio Bemba Sound System, or his solo stuff is great.
Trust me, you'll like it.

or, go wild and get some super crazy bamako sound from
Amadou and Mariam (manu chao produced)

again, trust me, you've never heard anything like this before.
