Flaming Lips bring 'Embyronic's' rock 'n' roll edge to Hollywood
The Flaming Lips' brief appearance in Hollywood on Thursday night was almost more notable for what was missing than what transpired. Gone were the confetti machines, and nowhere on stage was anyone dressed as Santa Claus. Giant metallic spaceships didn't descend from the ceiling, and if fake blood and puppets were present, they stayed safely tucked away backstage. Also gone was The Flaming Lips' more recent electronic-laced pop songs. Performing a mini-set at the Ricardo Montalbán...

The Flaming Lips - Embryonic: Music Review
nspired by a desire to make a double album and record with greater freedom and less discipline and restraint, The Flaming Lips let their freak flag unfurl on Embryonic . One of the Lips's trademarks has long been the way that they balance their riskiest, most ambitious impulses with a genuine mastery of pop songcraft. That balance has skewed a bit more toward the accessible over the last decade, with songs like "Do You Realize???" and "Fight Test" finding the band crafting some of their most...

Flaming Lips dial down the whimsy on "Embryonic"
NEW YORK (Billboard) - In the wee hours of the morning on Monday, September 14, Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne was signing autographs after his band performed at upstate New York's All Tomorrow's Parties festival when a burly young fan approached him with a length of industrial strap. Coyne recognized it as one of his own, used for tying down equipment like the large cannons that shoot confetti into the crowd throughout the band's stage show. The fan told Coyne the strap had been shot out of...

Chinese Democracy May For Real Be Released. Also, There's a Flaming Lips Movie!
It’s one of the most mocked records of all time, and it hasn’t even been released yet. That would be Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy—the endlessly delayed follow-up to Use Your Illusion I and II. But 17 years, four presidential elections, and three major wars later, Axl's pet project finally has a release date… sort of. Billboard.com (via Pitchfork) is reporting that Chinese D will be released exclusively through Best Buy “by year’s end.” An official release date hasn’t been confirmed.

Listen Up: Flaming Lips torch their pop-friendly recent past
Fair warning to recent Lips converts: The easy ride is over. The Oklahoma band's 12th studio release moves away from the accessible fare and commercial polish of 1999's The Soft Bulletin , 2002's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots and 2006's At War With the Mystics . Instead, Wayne Coyne and his cohorts have cooked up a maddening yet irresistible sprawl of psychedelia, jazz-fusion, prog-rock and other indecipherable mutations on Embryonic (* * * out of four) . You'll hear echoes of Pink Floyd,...
