THIS WEEK ON THE VIKING YOUTH POWER HOUR...
Flaming Lips Biographer Jim DeRogatis
Hey all you Flaming Lips nerds, this one is for you! We blackmailed Chicago Sun-Times rock critic Jim DeRogatis with some pictures we found of him wearing clam stuffed fishnets and peeing on a litter of kittens and forced him to come onto our show and talk about his great new book Staring at Sound: The True Story of Oklahoma's Fabulous Flaming Lips .
You'll hear mind blowingly articulate conversation and well reasonsed questions about... the new Lips album At War With the Mystics , how their live show has changed since the Yoshimi tours(s(s(s))), and the startingly low amounts of drugs front man Wayne Coyne has actually ingested in his lifetime.
We also muscle our way into the truth about... will we ever get to see Christmas on Mars? What really happened to Ronald Jones, Brian Wilson and the beauty of "Pet Sounds" and, most importantly, how to derail a late night confronsation with Herr Coyne should you ever find yourself within one.
Oh, and stick around for the end of the show dear listeners! We have a rare and never before heard version of "Turn It On" recorded with the Lips and the Butthole Surfers with Steven on banjo. Horly Sheet! You heard it here first.
Thanks so much to Jim for submitting to our blackmail! This show was edited by Brian very late at night on too much kratom after too long of an interval from the last show. See if you can find the mistakes in the editing and you could win a chance to edit all of our shows in the future smart ass! (Happy Bicycle Day!!!)
