Hey kids,
     Lordy, it's been ages since I've sent a post to the list.  I 
feel I must write, though, to tell all of you going to the Bowlie to 
see the Flaming Lips if at all possible.  They're playing the second 
main stage on Saturday, whatever that means.  I just saw them in 
concert for the first time this weekend, and I can honestly say IT 
WAS THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.  And I've seen a few.
     Their new music is completely different, with lots of piano and 
less rock.  You won't get to see the neat headphone concert that 
they've been putting on in America (where the audience members wear 
headphones tuned into a local radio frequency that's broadcasting 
what the band is playing, so you get sound out of the main speakers 
and the headphones, which you can control) - it was so refreshing to 
hear treble again.  But what you *will* get to see, if they repeat 
any of their tricks, is delightful!  All I can hint at (without 
spoiling all of their flourishes) is airborne glitter, hand puppets, 
and 2001: A Space Odyssey.  And the music is better than anything 
they've done so far.

Putting in her two cents, er...pence, worth - Miss Erin

P.S. Just for reference, the Lips defeated the former Best Concert of 
Miss Erin's Life, which was Paul Westerberg at the Fillmore in San 
Francisco.
