I've enjoyed the Flaming Lips ever since I first heard Soft Bulletin (in 5.1 mind you). I deeply respected them after I saw Fearless Freaks. I championed them after I saw them live at the ACL Festival. And I was quite taken with them when they released Embryonic.
Since the late 90s, they've become quite a force in the popular music lexicon, always on the fringe, always intriguing, always refreshing. Upon researching their discography for a mix tape I made to honor their performance at Moog Fest in Asheville this coming weekend, I found they've been quite active in 2011. (The mix will be available on ashevillefm.org) The idea that they can encourage people to think and consume creatively is super commendable.
Check out this interesting take on one of their recent, creative releases.
Check out this press bit about their planned Halloween release.
