The Flaming Lips Final 2012 Sessions Journey: New Gear, Pepto-Bismol and State Police

The Flaming Lips are recording the last of their (almost) monthly 2012 releases.  A collaborative effort with The Plastic Ono Band, it includes a new version of “Atlas Eets Christmas” (the title-track of their 2007 secret Christmas album – more on that here) and at least two new songs: “Brain of Heaven” and “The Fear Litany.”  One of these is possible a holiday sequel to the song  the two bands will play together on New Year’s Eve at midnight – The Plastic Ono Band’s classic “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)”.  More details here; updates at facebook/TheFutureHeart and twitter/FutureHeartDay.
