The Flaming Lips

I just bought a semi-obscure Flaming Lips CD from 1993, Transmissions from the Satellite Heart, and it is really, really awesome. It has the single "She Don't Use Jelly" on it, made famous on an episode of Beverly Hills: 90210, apparently. For those that only know of The Flaming Lips from Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, old school Lips is like that, minus the electronic beeps plus electronic buzzing and other assorted noises that grate, but in a really enjoyable way. The sound is truly a fusion of the two words that describe their style: NOISE POP.

Jelly was great. I used to sit back and chill out to the charlie manson blues when I was 17. oh dear... I think I just dated myself.
