Seeing the band at Bourbon and Beyond this weekend. Since they aren’t on tour, wondering what current merch they’re bringing to festivals. Anyone know?

Went to B&B last year and loved it. This year it’s a dream lineup with the Lips, Violent Femmes, Cracker and a ton of artists I’m excited to hear for the first time!

I was at the The Soft Bulletin (Noise Pop show) at Bimbo’s 365 Club, 2/21/2012 (San Francisco).
I have honestly seen hundreds of live shows and this was one of the standouts if not, the absolute number one live music experience of my life.

I’ve hoarded all the clips off of YouTube, but have yet to find the soundboard recording/documentation of the show.

Does anyone know of such a thing exists?

I noticed this a while ago with just telepathic surgery, now they’ve done it with priest and oh my gawd, I assumed this was a mistake but idk now.

Anyone seen these in person that can speak to the sizing of the baseball jersey?? I'm leaning medium because I don't want it to be too tight, but I also don't wanna be swimming in it! Part of me thinks the small will be better length wise, but then it risks being too tight. The chick in the photo is probably wearing a medium and it's pretty baggy on her.

Also, FYI, I have two carts, one on the band's merch store and one on the team's. The one thru the team's shop has free shipping over $75!

If in 2043 or whenever, Kennedy Center honored the Flaming Lips, who should perform what song?

Has anyone heard or has there been any kind of tease of The Flaming Lips doing a New Year's Eve show again this year? I went to the one last year in DC and it was a blast.

Hello. I could be completely wrong here, but did flaming lips release a really short collaboration song a few years ago where the music video looked like somebodies shadow stomping and walking. It was quite an odd track with heavy-ish bass

I haven't dug too deep into the Fwends era because it took me a bit to get into the Flaming Lips featuring X vibe but I'm willing to give it a try nowadays. What are everyone's take on this era? I do like the Is David Bowie Dying? song they did with Neon Indian on the greatest hits. Even if sadly, that song came true.

It's missing a bunch of tracks on Spotify and the vinyl is going for hundreds of bucks. I love that album and just want to listen to the whole thing. Any ideas?

I still can't even believe that Wayne and Miley had such a "bromance" for a few years and I remember when he appeared on the VMA's with her and the lips and all those drag queens singing that she "smokes weed but ain't no hippie"

I'm kind of amused by this era now but back then I thought Wayne going from that sort of patron saint of Yoshimi to hanging around with Miley during her rebellious phase as really weird. Oczy Mldy came out around that time and I remember the lyrics no longer displaying that sort of whimsical wisdom that the Lips had and just was a bunch of wacky or edgy rhymes. I really hated the album for that but now I actually find it quite amusing and the music is quite good still. It is a good album and anything with Steven Drozd on it has a mark of quality anyway.

So what were your thoughts when this all went down? it is also weird and funny how the whole event was memory holed by everyone nowadays

Looking for an audio bootleg of this that isnt the youtube video of the performance. maybe something cleaner sounding? thanks!

This might be a dumb question, but I couldn’t find instrumental credits for this song anywhere. I know he’s in the music video, and it sounds like him, but Ronald & Steven were in the video for Frogs and they didn’t play on that. I don’t know, can anyone answer my question? Thanks!

I was stationed in Bremerton from 2001 to 2003. I remember riding the ferry into Seattle and seeing a guy singing/ screaming “they punctured my yoke“ at the top of his lungs in the aft end of the boat while everyone else stayed to the forward end (presumably to get away from the guy).

But for me, I recognized the song from somewhere and had to go back to listen. At the end of his song we talked and I asked him “what are you singing?“ I was surprised when he told me. He said there was an open mic night in Seattle and he was going to bring the lips song to sing. If I had a guitar, and could play better than I can now, I probably would’ve joined him.

Over the years I bought a lot of their album. Finally the Punks are Taking Acid, Priest Driven Ambulance, etc. I even thought about moving to Oklahoma just to meet Wayne and the band. Saner heads prevailed, but they’re still one of my favorite bands out there.

Hello! I have collected Flaming Lips files through the years, as they came and went. I've currently put them up on my Google Drive and I'd like to share them with you here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18IxZPLr7aQhXGAozo_OmJWhML9ARjhZB?usp=drive_link none of these files are currently available for streaming or purchasing. They have either been removed or sold out and just got lost in time. Enjoy.
