Really cool! I don't know if I could spend $150 on a novelty-sized gummy candy with a usb stick inside

 

HMM GOOD POINT

I knew you'd end up contradicting yourself.

[superstix]

I'd love to get my hands on one of those Strobo Trip things, but as far as i can tell, it will only be available at festivals and in-store appearances?

 

Or you can just buy the generic version for $24.95

[Guest arbee]

i must be a moron, i can not find a decent copy of this. when i go to unlock all the rar files, i run into problems. im dying to hear the 6 hour track. is it worth really tracking down? is there a way to buy this?

 

I don't know where to actually buy it. there is this guy who shared it on soundcloud (splitted into 3 2 hours tracks)... uhmm cannot find it anymore

oh pish posh, aside from superstix's on-point response, a record shop that was carrying the flaming lips' branded one estimated the price to be $35, which for a weird op-art device, is iiiiinfinitely more worth it than a $150 piece of candy/usb stick combo.

edit: wait. you didn't post anything before that "I knew you'd end up contradicting yourself", chassis—are you keeping an eye on my contradictions in other threads or something?

I wonder if that 6 hour long track breaks some sort of record for longest song to be recorded live. Probably there's some week long museum installation piece out there made of nose winds. I dunno.

 

Also, does it actually sound like a cohesive track or just one massive jam session? I've only heard a lil bit.

[awepittance]

how much acid are these guys eating now fir christ's sake.

definitely not enough

Well I guess they've decided to outdo themselves. They've recorded a 24hr long track and encased it in a skull.

[jules]

we actually listened to the entire 6 hour song at work today...

[Guest Bubz]

they say one of their upcoming collabs is with panda bear...

funny i saw wayne at a panda bear show the other day

[KovalainenFanBoy]

hey guys we're running out of ideas so we will release some random crap ENCASED IN HUMAN SKULLS AND JELLY FETUSES

 

Remember, shitty music inside gummy vaginas and human skulls

[Cryptowen]

At this rate their next album will be a month long recording of television static, stored in a bio-organic computer which is then given free will & released into the jungles of Madagascar.

[Mellow U]

Man, checked it out of fascination and now I'm hooked - that 6 hour tune is pretty damn cool. Would love to put this on during a party with some friends on a weekend.

[jules]

did you try the 24 hour song?

[Mellow U]

did you try the 24 hour song?

 

Not yet, but I'd like to check out some of this newer Lips shit. I used to be a big fan years ago when I was in highschool, but after I got real into electronic music my tastes changed and I think once Yoshimi came out I was pretty out of phase with them. Definitely seems like they're still treading interesting territory even now. Eager to investigate further.
