The Flaming Lips are everywhere this week with the support of their crazy album, Embryonic. My friend Theo had this to say about their album, “I think it’s safe to say that Steve Drozd is back on the smack and everyone else upped the dosage. This album is fucking crazy.” Don’t live in LA? Don’t have tickets to their secret Myspace show? You can stream their live show , here.
