At War With The Mystics

The Flaming Lips

WHAT'S THE STORY? Zany psychedelia from odd American trio. The first track is particularly good. So's the rest of it.

TO BE HONEST: Three wise men fixated with unnatural noises. Dreamy ballads about wizards and cosmic rebellions. Troubled calls for heroic ambulance drivers. I haven't had this much fun since discovering that our genitals are made for more than just peeing.

WHICH WAS:  Upon inhaling my French au pair's Chanel D'Oblay. I was six and my trousers moved. It made me jump.
