    Crazy. :shock:

    I am on hour 3 of this song... It is something else.... I am unsure of how to even provide feedback, as I was pretty stoned the entire time.

    Sounds like a good idea for my next acid trip. Though, going to an A Perfect Circle concert on acid was one of the greatest decisions of my life. 8-)

    According to Waynes twitter feed, they are working on a 24 hour song....
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    The "song" is terrible. A lot of unpleasant noise. And this is coming from a big fan of the band.

    Well no kidding. What do you expect in a 6 hour song? It's just the fact that they did it.

    I expect for a good band to release music that is worth listening to. Not for a band to do something just because it is out of the ordinary.

    I saw the Flaming Lips play live in Islington, London in 1992 or 1993 - Can't remember when exactly. I was dragged along by a friend. My memory of them is pretty hazy. I certainly didn't expect them to still be going nearly 20 years later.

    I saw them last summer, were AMAZING. Love their shows, definitely unlike any other band out there.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Well, Ziareeka is literally unlistenable (unless you still own 4 CD players and can be bothered to go through with the palava of setting it all up in time) but I still take my hat off to the concept
    we're all going to the same place...
