    Good Music Documentaries?

    Under Great White Northern Lights - The White Stripes. Great music and an interesting insight of touring in Canada.

    Yeah, that was fantastic. I love the local places they play, a bowling alley, a boat, the native people's home :lol:

    I downloaded Dig! last night though I know nothing of either bands, cannot wait to watch. I also say I am trying to break your heart which was pretty damn good.

    Glad all these suggestions won't be lost forever now!

    Love their first album, every song is a gem, haven't been impressed with anything since then. Until this song, which is pretty solid, I like it :)

    This song has given me a veiled interest in the new album, but I'm afraid it'll be like their last two which I didn't care for :(

    I bet Black Sabbath likes em, as far as i can gather he's the forums standard bearer for shit music taste ;)

    Sig'd :lol:

    I used to love them, then I grew up and realized they kind of suck. They make good singles but have never been able to make a good album, Echoes was okay but their new one is horrid. Good live show for sure.

    "Friend of a Friend" is their best non-single song, it's actually pretty fantastic, can't find any good youtube rips tho :(

    Songs that give you chills!

    when i listen to climbing up the walls by radiohead i feel like there's a giant spider towering above me

    What a creepy song! Everything in its Right Place as well.

    The end of "Carolina Drama" by the Raconteurs, when the vocal harmonizing starts, makes my hair stand up.

    Flaming Lips set to make Theatrical Stage show of "Yoshimi" Album

    in MY WORLD

    The Flaming Lips have confirmed a theatrical adaptation of their 2002 album 'Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots' is in the "early stages of production".

    The band are working on the show with director Des McAnuff and told Billboard.com they expect to start workshopping the production soon.

    Frontman Wayne Coyne explained that although the show will be based on the 'Yoshimi…' album, it will also feature songs from 1999's 'The Soft Bulletin' and 2006's 'At War With the Mystics' albums.

    "It'll be a big chunk of Flaming Lips music, probably about 30 songs," he said.

    "It's a big deal. It's hokey and wonderful and poignant and powerful. It's really become a perfect combination of my fantastical robot-world vision and [McAnuff's] little, internal, humanistic version of what that music is. I really believe it could work - and luckily I don't have to do much!" Coyne added.

    The production will not be the band's first foray outside of music - Coyne wrote and directed 2008 science fiction film Christmas On Mars.

    Meanwhile, the band have also announced plans for various bizarre new music releases this year, including USB drives buried inside life-size skills and a stomp box effects pedal which plays four tracks.

    "Everybody's in the same quagmire now. How do you release music? What would be interesting?" Coyne said.

    "I'd just like to release music all the time and just put it out in all kinds of weird formats and not just collect it until we're ready to put out [an album]."

    The Flaming Lips are also due to play a number of UK dates this summer, including the Live From Jodrell Bank: Transmission_001 event and the Eden Sessions.
