Gee, you kids are swell. It's nice to know someone reads my posts, even if they are few and far between. Case in point: Kevan the Fat Slug said:
Thanks to Erin Lewis, and also Joss and Leagues, for convincing me to go and see the Flaming Lips. They were absolutely brilliant. Their gong and handpuppet antics were one of the highlights of the weekend.

Other highlights included: The amazing Flaming Lips, I completely fell in love with their music after about the second song
To those who enjoyed the Flaming Lips show, I wholeheartedly recommend "Zaireeka", a ltd. edition 4-CD set they put out in 1997. Each of the CDs has the same 8 songs, with different mixes. You're supposed to play them on 4 different CD players at the same time, to get 8 separate speaker sounds. A community event! (The sad songs that the the plastic dinosaur hand puppet sang are on this album.) Q: What would "Dog on Wheels" sound like if there were 8 trumpets coming out of 4 CD players at the same time? Or 4 trumpets, 3 Isobels, and one glockenspiel? I need a vacation from graduate school (already), so I'm going to Australia in 5 days to spend two weeks with my honey. Hip hip hooray! I will be sure to wear my Lucksmiths radar while roaming the streets of Melbourne, and my Sodastream radar, too, if they are in town. And yes, "Happy Secret" is quite amazing. Love, Miss Erin P.S. Also quite amazing is "Telescopic" by Edith Frost. Sounds like Patsy Cline with fuzzbox and church bells.
