Title: Flaming Lips and Fang Island on Wednesday! Wooo!
Post by: mojovonio on July 05, 2010, 10:22:40 AM

Never seen a Flaming Lips show and never even heard any Fang Island.

I heard there's furries at Flaming Lips show.

Do I have a good chance of yiffing???

There are furries, but they put on one of the best live shows you'll ever see.

I'm seeing them on the 20th as well!

Flaming Lips will be awesome, yeah, but I'm mostly excited for Fang Island, apparently one of the best live bands out there right now.  Their self-titled from this year is one of my favorites...it's like the soundtrack to my favorite Sega Genesis game I never played.

2:38 and onwards, my god.  Their drummer is sick.

The No Ripchord review for it is mandatory reading, if you ask me:

Did you ever like pro-wrestling? Ever? Did you ever want to be a firetruck or a spaceship when you grew up? Do you like roller coasters, summer time, playing wiffle ball or jumping off a high ledge on to a trampoline, only to bounce into a big warm lake with all of your friends from grade school? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, Fang Island is required listening.

:lol

ALSO, Careful Crossers is amazing (starts at 2:30). The very end with the dual-guitar solo thing gives me chills.

I like Fang Island because every song sounds like a variation of the Top Gun theme song.
