	Aaron Sorkin will write Flaming Lips musical \| Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots \| EW.com Exclusive \| News + Notes \| ...
		The Great White Way will never be the same: In an exclusive interview, Wayne Coyne, lead singer of the Flaming Lips, told EW.com that the psych-rock band will team up with acclaimed TV writer and show creator Aaron Sorkin to turn the group's 2002 album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots into a Broadway musical.
		In fact, the unexpected collaboration grew out of McAnuff's fondness for the Lips' acclaimed Yoshimi album.
		The San Diego-based theater producer pursued the idea and convinced the band that the album would make a compelling musical — other songs from the Lips' catalog will likely be included as well — despite the abstract, trippy nature of the source material.

	The Flaming Lips - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the Flaming Lips take an indie rock/post-punk approach to rock music, the band is known for their lush, multi-layered, psychedelic arrangements and their Lispacey lyrics and bizarre song titles (for example, "Pilot Can at the Queer of God" or "Yeah, I Know It's A Drag...
		The Flaming Lips formed in Oklahoma City in 1983 with Wayne Coyne's brother Mark singing lead vocals and Michael Ivins on bass guitar, and the band debuted at a fl RandB bar.

	VH1.com : The Flaming Lips : Biography - Urge Music Downloads
		The Flaming Lips formed in Oklahoma City in 1983, when founder and guitarist Wayne Coyne allegedly stole a collection of musical instruments from an area church hall and enlisted his vocalist brother Mark and bassist Michael Ivins to start a band.
		Giving themselves the nonsensical name the Flaming Lips (its origin variously attributed to a porn film, an obscure drug reference, or a dream in which a fiery Virgin Mary plants a kiss on Wayne in the backseat of his car), the band made its live debut at a local transvestite club.
		In 1996, the Lips' world went haywire; first, Jones disappeared to undertake a spiritual odyssey from which he did not return, then Drozd's hand was almost needlessly amputated after he was bitten by a spider.

		If you've never seen the Flaming Lips before and you've heard their music, you'll probably be surprised by how normal they look.
		None of this would even matter if the Flaming Lips didn't make such weird music, if they didn't sing bizarro, wordy back-porch homilies about wounded mathematicians, severed heads, and a superman who can't lift the sun into the sky.
		But then in 1997 the Lips made something called Zaireeka (Warner Bros.), an "album" full of surround-sound barking dog packs, noise shrapnel, and guitar tornadoes specifically (and prohibitively) recorded so that to hear it you had to play four separate compact discs at the same time.

	Flaming Lips Album Reviews
		In short, this album sees the Flaming Lips at their most tuneful and focused, and back in 1993 their joyously upbeat sound came as a nice contrast to the rage of grunge.
		The Lips are getting more "normal" as the years go by, with purer pop tendencies becoming a bigger element of, but not replacing, their bent sonic explorations.
		The result is easily the band’s prettiest if not their most exciting record yet (in fact, it's pretty boring in places), and given the album’s big buzz it should appeal to a wider audience that finally seems set to fully embrace the band’s audacious sound tapestries.

	Why We Love The Flaming Lips --- Ink Blot Magazine
		If 10 years ago, you would have told me that the Flaming Lips would be incorporating classical music into their repertoire, I would have called you a crack-addicted bonehead with a subdural-hematoma.
		But lo-and-behold, I am professing my love for the Lips, based not only on my own predilection for the bizarre and outrageously creative, but because these guys have broken down their own barrier between improvisation and crack-addled musical arrangement.
		In 1990, the Lips released In A Priest Driven Ambulance, a record filled with references to the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, and various riffs from divergent popular songs of the time.

		I was a huge Flaming Lips fan before I joined the band, so for me to hear that stuff again is a weird flashback.
		I don't know most of the logistics of the releases, but it seemed like maybe people would be interested in that stuff again, especially because of the new record, and it's been so long that it would seem like a curiosity.

	TrouserPress.com :: Flaming Lips
		Loud, wild and funny, the Flaming Lips play in the same pen of cartoon-psychedelia imagery used by others, but these disenfranchised Oklahomans, led by songwriter/guitarist/singer Wayne Coyne, possess wit and ingenuity most of the acid-addled competition lacks.
		While affectionately borrowing riffs here and there, the Lips (now a trio, with Coyne inheriting vocal duties from his brother Mark, who left the band) show real originality, balancing the rockin' grunge of "With You" and "Jesus Shootin' Heroin" with softer acoustic passages.
		You'd never have guessed it from those wild, early records, but the Flaming Lips have grown into a first-class — if still somewhat bent — pop band.

		Yoshimi is a little more 'electro' than other Flaming Lips records, perhaps by design or perhaps in part down to the (at the time)drug problems of multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd (who, nevertheless completely goes out on one for this record).
		The Flaming Lips are something of an anomaly for modern musicians: they wholeheartedly throw themselves at technology then attampt to make the records feel like old MGM Wizard of Oz types of adventures.
		The Lips' music has become better with time and this album sees them put new textures and sounds into their already quirky music.

		In interviews leading up to the release of At War With The Mystics, lead Lip Wayne Coyne was enthusing about how much the band were enjoying playing Black Sabbath's War Pigs live and promising a move to more of a hard-rock direction.
		This was my first Lips album, from what I understand even the faithful consider it their weakest, so maybe there is hope for them.

		By then the Lips’ noisy pseudo-psychedelic pop, layered with delightful melodies and often bizarre lyrics, had earned them a core following who could only nod their heads and smirk when the rest of the world finally joined in the giggles and weirdness of the huge hit, “She Likes Jelly.”
		Additionally the Flaming Lips, always a favorite among fellow thinking musicians, are getting a little more mainstream attention; they are spending this fall serving as the opening and backing band for like-minded artist/performance genius Beck.
		Then it’s back to Norman to put the finishing touches on their upcoming DVD, Christmas on Mars, which was written, directed, and scored by Coyle and his fellow Flaming Lips and is due out in December 2003.
