The Flaming Lips: Oczy Mlody

The Flaming Lips Oczy Mlody Warner Bros. The Flaming Lips long ago earned their right to do what they like – and to (no doubt) always like what they do. No mean feat considering they’ve stayed on a major label and stayed a cult-act. Theirs is a unique story. But somewhere in there is a […]

My Ears Were Burning, His Lips Were Flaming: Interviewing Wayne Coyne

Without a doubt he was the most famous person I had interviewed (in person) at that time. He was – and still is – Wayne Coyne, lead singer/songwriter/visionary behind The Flaming Lips. It helps – in my personal quest of knowing that this was a big interview – that I have been a fan of […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 888

The Flaming Lips, Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots (2002) I was in the record shop last week when I spied this – and I just had to splurge. Bought it then and there, as soon as I saw it. I do like The Flaming Lips, have done for a long time – this record certainly […]

The Flaming Lips: With A Little Help From My Fwends

The Flaming Lips With A Little Help From My Fwends Warner Bros. I went on the record as saying I was over Sgt. Pepper, was in no rush to hear it again – and that was because I could never understand all the calls for it as the ‘best’ album by The Beatles, or ‘the […]

The Flaming Lips: 7 Skies H3

The Flaming Lips 7 Skies H3 Warner Bros. It could be a full-time gig just reviewing releases from The Flaming Lips – EPs, special editions, one-offs, collaborations with their famous and freaky “fwends” – and none of this should detract from the fact that the band is in a purple patch, for even if the […]

The Flaming Lips: Peace Sword

The Flaming Lips Peace Sword Warner Bros. It was pretty hard to care about The Flaming Lips for a while there – I’m talking most of the last decade. I sorta admired their pluck, their playfulness, silliness, wilfulness; still doing wild’n’whacky  on a major label, trying out every type of format/distribution angle and gimmick – […]
