There have been several times in my life where I have fallen in love with an album before ever actually hearing any music from it. That has been the case with every single flaming lips album I've encountered in my adult life, including their latest, "Embryonic". I truly believe that no one sounds like The Flaming Lips, and they do not sound like anyone else. Oddly enough, embryonic has very little to do with anything this band has done before (especially in the last 10 years or so), and yet this album seems to be the ultimate incarnation of what they have probably always wanted to do. That doesn't necessarily make it my favorite album of theirs, but it sounds like they had a lot of fun making it. Instantly a classic.
I now have a twitter. Add me if you'd like updates about my music, tour and blog.
Today is the first official day of my tour with Sleeping At Last.
I'll post a full schedule in the next day or two, but here are this weekend's shows...
10/23: Gordon College - Wenham, MA
10/24: The Scarlet Cord - Brookville, PA
Thanks for reading, Jeremy
