     No, this isn't a newsgroup to bitch about lips, this is a
discography of Norman, Oklahoma's very own Flaming Lips.  BTW, they're
touring presently, and if anyone hears they're dropping through 
Southern California soon, E-mail me.

The Flaming Lips"       "One Million Billionth Of A Millisecond On A
(1987)                   Sunday Morning"
                        "Maximum Dream For Evil Knievil"

                        "Love Yer Brain"
     [Absolutely the trippiest album cover of the year.  "One Million
      Billionth Of A MIllisecond On A Sunday Morning" is a slowburn
      that blew me away live]

"Telepathic Surgery"    "Drug Machine In Heaven"
(1989)                  "Right Now"
                        "Michael, Time To Wake Up"

                        "The Last Drop Of Morning Dew"
                        "Begs And Achin'"
     ["Fryin' Up" and "Hell's Angels' Cracker Factory" are bonus CD
      tracks; the latter is 23:02 long (i.e. for stoners or very       
      patient people only)]

Oh yeah, in between "Oh My Gawd!!!" and "Telepathic Surgery" they did
a flexi-disk for The Bob magazine -- Led Zeppelin's "Thank You" and
Sonic Youth's "Death Valley 69", I think.

"In A Priest Driven     "Shine On Sweet Jesus -- Jesus Song No. 5"
 Ambulance"             "Unconsciously Screamin'"
(1990)                  "Rainin' Babies"
                        "Take Meta Mars"
                        "Five Stop Mother Superior Rain"
                        "Stand In Line"
                        "God Walks Among Us Now -- Jesus Song No. 6"
                        "There You Are -- Jesus Song No. 7"
                        "Mountain Side"
                        "What A Wonderful World"
     [I think this is their best, and certainly one of the best of '90,
      but it seems a lot of people missed it in their label switch from
      Restless Records to Warner Bros.  Yes, "What A Wonderful World"
      is the Louis Armstrong standard.  No, each song is not 3:26 long,
      no matter what the back cover says]

Somewhere between "In A Priest Driven Ambulance" and their most recent
release (see below) they issued a single/EP that just slipped by me.
The title on the cover is "Wastin' Pigs".  If anyone has info on this
(or a single I might have missed), by all means post it!

"Hit To Death In The    "Talkin' 'Bout the smiling Deathporn Immor-
 Future Head"            tality Blues (Everyone Wants To Live Forever)"
(1992)                  "Hit Me Like You Did The First Time"
                        "The Sun"
                        "Felt Good To Burn"
                        "Gingerale Afternoon (The Astrology Of A
                         Saturday)"
                        "Halloween on the Barbary Coast"
                        "The Magician vs. The Headache"
                        "You Have To Be Joking (Autopsy Of The Devil's
                         Brain)"
                        "Frogs"
                        "Hold Your Head"
     [I found what looks to be a promotion-only CD of this album with
      an entirely different cover featuring, among other things, 
      portraits of mongoloid children; the spine says "Collector Scum
      Tantalizer".  Hmm, I wonder what that makes me?  Anyways, 
      everyone seems to think the Lips have really come into their own
      this one, but I should confess that it's taken me a really long
      time to get into "Hit To Death In the Future Head"]

Well, that's it. Off to see Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy.  People
into the Flaming Lips, post some info on them if you have any.

     "This man came up to me just the other day.
      He asked me if I'd been born again, I told him
      I didn't think I had, that I had been rejected
      but I think hells got all the good bands anyway..."
        
     ("Ode to C.C. part two...")
