Today...

I bought this:





^Click them for more than half...
or
it looks better here


Best $5 I have ever fucking spent.
And it's actually worth AT LEAST $25, hahaha.
Fuck, so good. There is nothing better than picture vinyl. From the '80s. UK Collectors edition. Bon Jovi.
:D

And, I bought a pretty pale pink coloured Young Einstein LP soundtrack for $3. Because it was pretty and pink.
Its Buy It Now price on ebay? Between $40 and $50.
What. Up.

The Flaming Lips.

"I've heard rumors that they suck live"

Clearly, Mr Youtube commenter has never actually heard of The Flaming Lips.

Admittedly, they weren't 100% on Letterman, but c'mon.
No one's ever said they suck.



Except maybe when they looked like this, hahahah.

The test begins now.

LISTEN!

Dave Fridmann is an absolute genius.
Listen to the FLips and MGMT before and after working with him.
Especially MGMT. They were brilliant before him. But what he did with their music, the difference between the Time To Pretend and Management demo versions of Electric Feel and Time To Pretend and Kids.
MGMT are fucking fantastic.

He mixed/produced Christmas On Mars and Oracular Spectacular in the same year, as well as nine others.
And, every Flaming Lips release since 1990, except Transmissions From The Satellite Heart.
And Weezer and Thursday and Black Moth Super Rainbow and Thursday and OK Go.
And and and.

Pictures of MGMT and TFL, because I can.





Triple J's Producer series is my new favourite.
