At War with the Mystics...

[Overman]

Is the Flaming Lips new album!

It just came out and is pretty good (it is better with repeated listens) and they have a general skeptic/science theme to their music.

Their best album was Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (do not be discouraged by the title, it is awesome!!!) and another good one is The Soft Bulliten.

Support Art in science!!!

(that includes me by the way... www.overman.info/evolutionrocks.html )

"Lightning Strikes the Postman"

I got your package - it was all a mess.
Lightning strikes the postman in his chest.
It's hard to read the writing through the flames.

I hope you can remember the things you had to say.
It's just a supernatural delay.

You've listened to their last three releases. While Flaming Lips lps are generally spotty in quality each one has several diamonds.

"Lightning Strikes the Postman"

I got your package - it was all a mess.

Also on this lp - Brainville, Guy Who Got a Headache and Accidentally Saves the World. While Flaming Lips lps are genrally spotty in quality they've created many gems since 1985.
