Question. Wayne Coyne is to psychedelic as Stephen Colbert is to blank.
Answer. Fucking hilarious.
Even when stripped of their regular bells and whistles (confetti, fake blood, animal suits, screaming fans and giant spheres) this Flaming Lips live performance (in a television studio no less) still feels like winning the lottery on your birthday. Playing on The Colbert Report, The Lips preview new track “Convinced Of The Hex” taken from their forthcoming double LP “Embryonic” which explores more psychedelic territory while testing the sonic capabilities of the maracas. We approve.
