Not too much to write about this show, as the skies opened up about 30 minutes into the Lips' set. We (the Lips and the crowd) were starting to hit our groove, but shit... or rain/thunder/lightning happens. Pretty badass version of "Fight Test" and the two(?) new songs they played sounded pretty good live. I've tried to explain their entrance to a few people and I think failed miserably on each attempt. Luckily, I found the below clip on YouTube. Don't stare directly at the pulsating vazhïn...

More new music
First things first - even if you're not a big fan of the Black Crowes, LISTEN TO THEIR NEW TRACK! Fucking dynamite... for rizz.
Not quite sure how I missed the first single from the Flaming Lips' upcoming Embryonic (Oct 13th), "Silver Trembling Hands." Now there's a second listen out that's wacky and wild... even for the Lips. Check out "See the Leaves" courtesy of P-fork.
Jack White's got to get a hobby or something because this mofo is cranking out music like no one's business. This time it's him solo in "Fly Farm Blues" out now. Thanks to Stereogum.
And another diddy from Radiohead - "These Are My Twisted Words." It's all over the web, but I saw it first on Ultra 8201.

Hooray Friday!
- An Aquarium Drunkard has My Morning Jacket covering Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" and a few Steve Earle tunes worth checking out.
- NPR continues to give me live music to stream while wasting the days away at work. The past week was a barn-burner with Josh Ritter, Jose Gonzalez, Okkervil River, Animal Collective and Iron and Wine getting some love on NPR's Live Concert Series. Looks like Spoon and the New Pornographers will be popping up in the next few weeks as well. Stay tuned...
- I've never been a Smashing Pumpkins fan, so their pseudo-reunion meant next to nothing to me. Reviews of their current tour are average at best and MOKB doesn't hold back either. I like the way they went about it though - they blasted the Pumpkins, but then gave some suggestions to improve the show. Not that Billy Corgan is reading, but still.
- The Flaming Lips are projecting a March release for their latest experiment, the film Christmas on Mars. If this is going to be anything like their concerts, you might want to start preparing your brain for sensory overload directly. Thanks to You Ain't No Picasso for the report.
- If you don't know what I'm talking about when I refer to the Flaming Lips concerts, check out the pics on MOKB from the Monolith Festival. The post also has a few tracks, to include their cover of Pink Floyd's "Lucifer Sam".
