My lips, they're on FIRE

Alas, I sincerely wish I could share a sample or two, but I am giddy that I have an advance copy of the new Flaming Lips disc in my possession (and on my iPod; thank goodness for watermarked-but-not-locked advances).

I didn't think this is possible, but it's the best of The Soft Bulletin's bittersweet arrangements and the guitar rawk of Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Lips fans will be chuffed; and more indie-yuppie newbies may indeed join the fold, to the chagrin of the hipsters.
