Heads up, the Lips will be on the Tonight Show tonight (Thursday), playing the W.A.N.D. Saw them last night, this was one of many highlights of the show. I doubt Jay will let them play it with Wayne attaching smoke bombs to his megaphone, and with the strobe light vest. Although it would be pretty cool to see.
"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.

    ok, that is a cool song, i heard it on youtube.com beforehand. couldn't really hear wayne much except through that megaphone thing. the funniest part was that the american idol dude looked scared of the lips.

    I've still got about 2 hours to go here on the West Coast till it's on. Nice to hear he did use the megaphone, and the fact that they scared the idol guy makes it even better!

    That was great, You've got to wonder what the American Idol guy was thinking while watching that. Probably something along the lines of "what the hell..."

    Great how they rigged up all the confetti, and Wayne shoving the megaphone in the camera.

    I just picked up Soft Bulletin last night. Every song on there seemed so familiar. Kickass disc, and I havent even had much time to get into it.

    Buggin is my favorite after less than 24 hours. Those harmonies are so gorgeous(sp?)

    Feelin Yourself Disintegrate, Waiting For a Superman, What Is the Light are among my other faves.

    I loved Yoshimi but after hearin the new one I wasnt so sure. First listen of Soft Bulletin restored my faith in them. They seem to have quite a few songs where there 1 or 2 parts that are so amazing, they make the rest of the song better. I think I need to go ahead and pick up the new one.

    What else is good by these guys. I have been listenin to Yoshimi for awhile, but havent really explored them. B-sides, live songs, covers, just anything by them would do right at this moment.
