first person account[edit]

I think I've done pretty well in not stating my opinion on matters aesthetic round these parts so far - heck, I wrote an entire article on Paul Hindemith, whose music gives me about as much pleasure as repeatedly stabbing forks into my eyes (that's no pleasure at all, by the way). But I can't help myself on this one, sorry: I went to see the FLips a couple of years ago (they were touring The Soft Bulletin) and it was the best gig I've ever seen. There was a very small amount of artistically placed fake blood, and video footage of Herbert von Karajan conducting in a rather over the top way, and "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" sung with fake snow, and I didn't have to go to work in the morning (I was a student, I didn't work)... ah, happy days.

Right, back to this sonata form article (with apologies for the waste of wikipedia's disk space...) --Camembert

Well, I managed to write an entire set of articles on Stephin Merritt / The Magnetic Fields without mentioning the clearly evident fact that he's the greatest genius ever to grace the face of the Earth. Ah, the sacrifices we make for NPOV. And yes, the FLips are rather spiffy. --AW

I shouldn't say this, but just after I wrote this above, I suffered a power cut and was left in complete darkness. Clearly, this was a message from some sort of wikipedia god, ordering me to not waffle irrelevantly on talk pages. And yet, here I am doing it again. Hmm. --Camembert

At War With the Mystics[edit]

I just recently checked the Lip's website and have heard no mention of a new album. I was wondering if anyone knew where this information was derived. Thank you. Hoekenheef 16:04, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Scott Booker[edit]

Scott Booker redirects here, but there's no mention of him on the page. I believe he's the manager. He's now involved with the development of a contemporary music school in OKC, so perhaps he needs his own page, but his relation to the Flaming Lips should be established somewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.245.24.137 (talk) 16:23, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
