The Flaming Lips – The Flaming Lips & Heady Fwends
8 July 2012 | aaamusicTheatrical. Flamboyant. Outlandish. How many adjectives have been used to describe the band from Norman, Oklahoma? How many other bands manage to overcome the Lips in encapsulating psychedelic trips in notes during the past thirty years? In 2012, is … Read More
