The Lips did that one on Conan the other day; the Oct. 13th show, I think. It's up on Hulu.

Pretty awesome! Seems like wayne coyne is losing his voice or something, he keeps grabbing his chest (or maybe that's just a habit he has when performing.)

also, I'm pretty sure the dad in Fallout 3 is based on him...that was the first thing I thought when I saw him: "awesome, my dad is wayne coyne!"

Normally an album that takes around 5 years to make ends up being shit but Three Fact Fader by the Engineers is pretty damn amazing.

In other Flaming Lips news, they've already recorded a follow-up, sort of.

Quote from: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2009/10/flaming-lips-bring-embyronics-rock-n-roll-edge-to-hollywood.html

The Flaming Lips have already recorded a follow-up to “Embryonic.” The band will release a track-by-track interpretation of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” in the near future, which it recorded with Stardeath and the White Dwarfs, a band that features Coyne’s nephew Dennis.

Henry Rollins and Peaches make guest appearances on the album, Coyne told the crowd during a pre-concert question-and-answer session. A Flaming Lips spokesman says the album will likely be an iTunes-only release, at least initially.

And continuing the streak of craziness, he also had some very kind things to say about being on WBR:

Quote

“Embryonic” was the last album the Flaming Lips had due to Warner Bros., which the band has been working with since the early ‘90s. Now in their 26th year, Coyne says the band isn’t looking to go it alone, and likely won’t be following the path of a Radiohead or a Nine Inch Nails. While the structure of the deal may change, the Flaming Lips, Coyne says, have already decided to stick with Warner Bros.

“We don’t really want money that we haven’t earned,” Coyne said. “We’re lucky that we’re able to earn lots of money. A lot of bands and artists aren’t as lucky as we are. But we would never at this point to just be businessmen and say, ‘We want this much money or else.’ We want to earn it. Bands and entertainers make stupid money as it is.

“It was never the big corporate label trying to change the weirdos from Oklahoma,” he continues. “They made it possible we could be who we are. I will always owe them. That’s the secret no one really ever cares about. We owe Warner Bros. for our whole way of being.”

I'm assuming the bolded part only applies to other successful major label acts.

WHHAAAAAT, wow! that's awesome. I could live without hearing DSOTM again, but it'll always be one of my favorites. I'm super excited to see what this is all about. Embryonic already makes me wanna find a nickel bag and enjoy a stoned night just listening to it (something I haven't done in years.)

The Seattle homecoming was the final show of the tour. They played a ton of Diary and LP2 along with Guitar and Videogames from How it Feels. The band wrote one new song ("10") during rehearsals, and they played it every night of the tour, so there is a chance of more down the road...

i've been listening to phaseone's free album. it's got great remixes of love lockdown, videotape, archangel, and this animal collective song. probably the best electronica album i've heard this year.

I've never exactly been a fan of BEP, so I was unaware that they were partially formed from another group. Let me just say that this album blew me away, and that means a lot seeing as this came at the end of a week in which I was working my way through a bunch of my favorite 90s alt hip-hop classics (Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, Midnight Marauders, Melodica, Stakes is High, et al.). It's really depressing hearing Boom Boom Pow after listening to this

Not bad for a band that is largely a knockoff of The Smashing Pumpkins

I was going to post some tracks from this (Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II), but the distinguished effete fellows at WMG seem to be pulling all the songs from this release off of YouTube, which incidentally might be partially why the only Aphex Twin I've ever been exposed to is his beat-oriented stuff. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to electronic music, but I absolutely love this. What are some other albums or artists that are similar? And is there anything else in Aphex Twin's discography that comes close in terms of style? The only other ambient albums I have in my library are Eno's Discreet Music and his 1-4 series

I actually like them more with vocals, I think. It's cool to see them make cohesively melodic songs entirely with sampling for vocals, but I've never been a big fan of heavy sampling in general (Girl Talk, DJ Shadow = yawn). Impressive, but also dull after a while. This shit is hawt, though
