    9. Still loving the Emot. The Trees and Claws EP probably features their four best songs, but I still keep their three albums in rotation as they're all quite good, even if they don't reach such highs.
    B. Not sure why, but I needed to hear this song last night. I see now that many of these lyrics have entered my internal list of idioms (ones that I rarely speak though):
    "Others Disagree"
    "We aren't united any more than you are"
    "...Like the whole planet"
    "There is no place else to go. The theatre is closed."
    "Smash the control images, smash the control machine."
    I'd forgotten that there's a tiny little snippet of the "Screaming Slave" remix of Nine Inch Nails' "Happiness in Slavery" in the song.

    This is mesmerizing.

    1. I saw the Lips during their Transmissions tour on my birthday at First Ave. Must've been all ages cause I was a pup. Was there with a girl named Bethany that I wonder whatever happened to. Sooooooooo many christmas lights.

      1. I know I've said it before here, but I've always wanted to give the Flaming Lips more of a try. I like the "Jelly" song and "Do You Realize". *sigh* Put 'em on the list.

      2. Sooooooooo many christmas lights.

        This applies to much of your teenage years, does it not? 😉

    1. That ticket is... not $3. "Best Available" seats at the Chicago Theatre were a chunk of change (with an extra TM gouge on top), and were in "Row A". That doesn't sound bad, I thought.

      Row A is over half way up the main floor.

      1. Yeah, 47 bones w/ nonsense charge. 4th row center balcony. Not ideal, but I'm told there aren't really any bad seats at the Fitz. I guess we'll find out.

        1. You'll love 4th row center balcony at the Fitz unless Kareem is sitting in front of you.

  9. Just got approval to see Mitski on November 19. AMR, consider this your weekly(ish) reminder about that concert.
