Flaming Lips Hollywood Forever Cemetery

The Flaming Lips didn't really perform a proper Los Angeles date for late 2009 double-album "Embryonic," but this summer the Oklahoma City weirdos will give L.A. denizens two nights of music, essentially taking over the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on June 15 and 16. The first night will see the Lips tackling their 1999 album "The Soft Bulletin," which essentially redefined the psychedelic rockers as a more orchestral-friendly band.
The news was revealed via a tweet from Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne. The mid-June dates are confirmed, but on-sale information and further details have not been released. For instance, the poster teases some kind of "all-day or all-night" Flaming Lips activity, noting the event is "two nights, one morning." The second night of the Flaming Lips' cemetery stay will be a cover of "The Dark Side of the Moon," which the Lips have regularly taken on the festival circuit of late (the band will also perform it at a three-day Chicago festival in May).
So while a seeing the Flaming Lips cover "The Dark Side of the Moon" is nice and all, it feels a little too predictable for such a unique setting. Therefore, here's hoping there's some synchronized tapes affixed to those gravestones.
not a huge fan, but this sounds fucking awesome.

I think it would probably be faster to list the things right with me.
my ass.
....end of list.
I said "not a huge fan"...not "not a fan." they're okay...nothing's really grabbed me. but their shows look like a lot of fun, and their experiments are at least commendable...maybe not always successful, but respectable.

I guess this sucky indie band is still using "ironic" female sexuality to sell their sucky music.

I knew there was a reason for my disapproval of this band.

well, seeing how fast that day sold out, and seeing how often I notice
these guys in the LA Weekly, I would say "a whole buttload of people."
I have it on good authority that the day after you die the bungle reunion will be announced.

like I said, I can go either way, but even I can admit it's a pretty awesome idea...

lemme just say; holy shit, what a boring song, and you can almost smell the putrid patchouli/BO stench coming through the screen...man, it just makes you want to stomp some noodle-dancing, soap-fearing muthafuckas into the dirt, BUT...VERY cool use of the bell tower & sunrise atmosphere.

I'm sure they have killed the odors in your house on many occasions. You can't have dog feces and rotting corpses go smellin' up the place when you have probation officers coming over ever night.

the head shop were i get mine (the good stuff) has been getting some new varieties .
i noticed one called "latin lover" it was red and purple with silver glitter .
this late in the game , the newer flavors with the creative names tend to turn my tummy , so i have avoided contemplating what sort of vile stench that may emit . we had one here with glitter on it "fizzy pop" , this is what you get for sending the ole lady on an errand . vomit poop is more like it , i avoid the glitter ones .
fantasia , coconut , vanilla , pine tree is nice for a change but i am pretty picky about that shit . the "bakin brownies" was really kind of odd , some of them have an overpowering "sage like " aroma not sure what that is , i dont care for it much .
i have also burned small amounts of xmass potpourri , in a giant ash tray , with a propane torch here . that is like nuke the place good . or i had a bunch of smaller wood splinter pieces , like 1/2 inch . we soaked those down with some body spray shit my kids didnt care for , but i thought it was tasty . that stuff works well in a pinch .
