For a moment or two, I thought I heard some weasels or other small furry creatures cuddling or sexing in the background.

Thanks. I could use some of Wayne's world view today. Think I'll throw the whole disk on when I get home.

Listen to the whole album, then decide. It's a contextual piece.

I haven't seen them live, but my daughter has, and she said that it was a near-religious experience.

It does make more sense in the context of the whole album.

Love the song title.
It's up there with "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner" and "Crosseyed & Painless".

Were you on the Railjet train, speeding through Austria, while listening to RP?  Great tune.

this album will forever remind me of the time i saw a fox and her baby cubs in the graveyard, while driving through and listening to this song with one of my favorite friends. a very uniquely strange memory...

Such a cool little song about how people tend to focus on one thing that they think is most important to them   and then they accidentally miss a thousand nice little things that happen.

As embarassing as it is to admit- I think I am a "glass is half full" person   {#Cheers}

Unless we are talking Cuervo   LOL

Then you are going down...

I got it and didn't immediately get it. It's so different from "The Soft Bulletin" and "Yoshimi" it took a couple of listens to open up to it. Now, I would consider it on par with their best albums.


 

Yeah, their albums just keep getting stronger.  I love that they all have thematic unity; it's sort of a nod to the prog rock era, where long songs and interdependent themes existed to create a strong album.  Different than the iTunes way, it's for sure.  The good part is the Lips' music carries over well on single format, but benefits from the context (including graphic art) of the rest of the albums.

These guys are so whimsical and bittersweet. I adore them Plus any band that writes a song with this title can't be all bad. Everytime I hear a Flaming Lips song this infectious smile appears on my face and I remember to lighten up a bit

I HIGHLY recommend their new Live concert DVD "UFOs at the Zoo" It is so much fun => No other musicians in the world could possibly have more fun than Wayne, Mike, Steve, and Klyph
