The Flaming Lips will be performing "Do You Realize" tonight on David Letterman. I've been listening to some Flaming Lips live shows lately, Wayne Coyne's banter is possibly even more enjoyable than the music. Also entertaining is their choice of covers, I've linked to several live Lips covers below:
the one i love (rem)
ode to billie joe (bobbie gentry)
divine hammer (breeders)
is "tonight" thurs or friday?
i like their "yoshimi battles the pink robots" or something like that - a beautiful song about a silly topic...is the rest of the cd good?
