The Flaming Lips

The new album "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" is absolutely fantastic in a trippy, psychadelic, proggy, aren't Japanese comics about Robots cool sort of way.
Similar, I suppose, to "The Soft Bulletin" but much better IMHO as I always thought the earlier album was a bit over -praised. Uncut gave is "5.5 out of 5" and claimed it was the best album released since the magazine began. For a bit of balance you should perhaps know that a colleague has just informed me that "[the forthcoming single] 'do you realize' was actually 'record of the week' on Pete and Geoff's breakfast show last week. It was played just before the 'will item x flush down the toilet' game"
