I remember that when they played "See the Leaves" on the Tonight Show the week that Embryonic came out, it was suitably hosed up and grim.

It was 'Watching the Planets,' and it was awesome.

My favorite is still when they played 'Mountain Side' on Jon Stewart, though. Also, this.

The Terror vinyl on Amazon is a somewhat reasonable $33. With tax was about $37 with free two-day shipping with prime.

Oh, right. That was the week of my father's funeral. That record just sounded perfect at the time.

Probably. I doubt that'll get flipped much because it's something not a lot of people are going to want in the first place. Even if people do try to flip it on ebay, eventually they'll just pile up and people will start selling them for retail to brake even on it.

The UK CD and vinyl releases of the new album are going to come with a mini CD and 7" (respectively) of 'Sun Blows Up Today'. Looks like the US versions won't, because Warner Bros. suck and I hate them.

Also, that 'We Don't Control the Controls' bonus track on the iTunes and vinyl releases is a mashup remix of the entire album by Dan Deacon.

Because this is what major label prestige acts releasing collector's market artifacts do! (see Young, Neil)

On that note: did the Lips actually resign with Warner at some point in the last ten years or are they just tied in to a lousy early 90s contract where WB are guaranteed twenty LPs?

I'm pretty sure they chose to stick with them as of the last year or two.

I went for the UK lp for The Terror. It's 22 UKP shipped to the US (with discount code PRESALE at http://www.rise-music.co.uk/browse/search/flaming+lips/item/245938/Flaming-Lips-The-Terror.html). Figured it's a winner for the bonus 7", although I do hope it has zany-colored vinyl. $32.85 at current exchange rates.

Has anyone bought from them before? I am always wary of those drat kids and their online vinyl shopping.

The CD version, too.

Just a reminder that the Lips' set at SXSW tonight is going to be streamed live here. I could be wrong, but I think they're going to be playing the entire Yoshimi record tonight and then unveiling the new stage show and playing all of The Terror tomorrow night (which isn't being streamed, unfortunately). The Lips go on at 12:45 Central time.

i hope whenever the lips tour on a big scale again for this album, it's not big venues. If it's a huge festival thing it's pretty much gonna be infested with Yoshimi and I am honest-to-god bored to tears of that album.

Just from reading some of their recent interviews, I think the plan is to play The Terror in its entirety at every show.

The Lips apparently have a compulsion to play absolutely every single loving festival every single loving year.
