The Flaming Lips - Transmissions From The Satellite Heart

Warner Bros. 1993


One of the greatest albums ever recorded. Simple fact.

Joyous, drug-addled, rich and varied. Never a dull moment, Not a single weak track.

I love it. You should too.

Outstanding moments of greatness: the brain melting, unfeasibly massive riff in Slow Nerve Action, one of the best song titles ever: Oh My Pregnant Head (Labia In The Sunlight).

I will never, not ever, get sick of playing this. It's been 15 years so far and every time is as great as the first.

She don't use butter, she don't use cheese, she don't use jelly or any of these - she uses vaa-aa-aaaaaaa-saline
