078: The Flaming Lips - Embryonic (2009)

In 2009, 25 years into their career, the Oklahoma-based eccentric alt-rock band The Flaming Lips released a dark, terrifying double-album that nobody could have expected when "She Don't Use Jelly" landed them a cameo on Beverly Hills 90210. Embryonic is an album that prompts strong love-it-or-hate-it reactions in listeners, and John (host), Rich, and Mike land among the album's lovers. Join us for a detailed look at an absolutely wild musical and emotional journey, where sheer beauty mingles with overpowering low-end, and where devastating looks at depression mingle with whimsical (yet melancholy) tunes about a woman who imitates a frog. <br /><br />Cohosts: John McFerrin, Rich Bunnell, Mike DeFabio<br /><br />Complete show notes: <a href="https://discordpod.com/listen/078-the-flaming-lips-embryonic-2009" rel="noopener">https://discordpod.com/listen/078-the-flaming-lips-embryonic-2009</a><br /><br />Support the podcast! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/discordpod" rel="noopener">https://www.patreon.com/discordpod</a>
