I mean, every time I've listened to a Flaming Lips album (and I've done it several times, some forced onto me by friend's, some by my own will) it's never really caught my interest. I even saw them live one time. Just a lot of mehs. Oh well.

It was free, and outside. The best part IMO was when they showed vaginas on this huge screen outside.

For shame!
Although I've always kinda thought of them as a happier, modern version of Pink Floyd.

i never got the Pink Floyd comparison other than "hey, stoners like 'em"
the lips haven't had one obscenely popular album based around the sounds of one track off of a previous album, then milked that for all its worth for the rest of their career.
they have decade-ish long phases and their influence runs so deep, you never really notice it. hence The Who

Shrug indeed. Because opinions about music really, honestly don't fucking matter at all. They're opinions, not actual things.

I saw them live in 1989 in a really small bar in Iowa that no longer exists. They came on stage really late and played for maybe 45 minutes. It sounded like everything was routed through a fuzz pedal (kind of like a Superfuzz or something) and every once in a while somebody must have stomped a pedal and the fuzz got fuzzier. When I say everything was routed through the fuzz pedal I mean everything. It was very loud and they did not talk to or interact with the audience at all.
I like both the Flaming Lips and the Who.

+1 for Flaming Lips. +1 for The Who. Saw the Flaming Lips a few times back in the 90's and slept through them more than once.
Oops. Love the records though. I was just mad tired. Hahahhaa.
Also - why is this pedal so f'n complicated???? Who's gonna use all of that in one pedal?

i was lucky enough to get to open for the lips for 2 nights in london and i don't understand how anyone could NOT be into their stage show...
at least they're trying something different!
i've never been the biggest fan, but i dig their jams enough - live, though... a whole other experience. they put a lot of work into that stuff and the best part about them is that their entire crew and everyone involved with them is pretty much from the same town in oklahoma. they roll with their homeys and i just think that's really awesome.
that PCB design is looking NICE, btw.
