At War with the Mystics

So I know I'm going to lose mondo indie points for this, but I've yet to really catch on to the Flaming Lips. They seem just a little bitty bit beyond my grasp. Dave says I just need to sit down and listen to the Soft Bulletin a few times through. I mean, just once was enough for Steve Burns (more on that later). Anyway, being part of the music committee at the Kage, I get the opportunity to sample musics sent to us by well meaning record labels.  I saw a Flaming Lips album and thought this was my chance.  Unfortunately it wasn't a full album of new material, rather a lengthy promo for "the Yeah Yeah Yeah Song", containing three different versions of the same, along with covers and other goodies.  I appreciate that the song isn't simply remixed, but given an entirely new treatment entirely by the band.  It's a really good song, I like it.  Listen to all three versions, they are for your enjoyment. Peaces.
