I went to see The Flaming Lips last night at the Variety Playhouse. It was good and zany, I was happy to get to see some of the amazing new material live. They had tons of fans onstage dressed in animal costumes. I know they were fans because I got my ticket for the sold out show from someone who had been chosen to wear one of the costumes. I guess they are touring with Beck, and this was the only non-Beck show they were doing on this tour, which worked out well for those of us in Atlanta. I used to like Beck a lot, now, not so much. Tonight, I’m off to see Amon Tobin.
