The Flaming Lips -- At War With The Mystics

  ... so!  I was thinking the other night, why am I limiting myself only to my record collection?  Well I do know that answer ... anyway ... point is I have a couple of boxes of neglected CD's and a box of dusty old tapes, which I clearly love ... I've been lugging them around long enough!  Last night I jimmy rigged my laptop to my killer set up and decided enough with this format snobbery, records are still better, but I wanna listen to some music!

  At War With The Mystics, the eleventh Flaming Lips album is drenched in 70's style psychedelia mixed with a dreamy futurist Pop vibe.  What I love about this band, other than their live shows, is that they are totally arrogant, over-the-top, pretentious, hippie weirdos in all the best ways, and definitely will be a staple classic in years to come.
