The Flaming Lips: 'V.O.I.D.'

Last heard singing on The Sponge-Bob Square-Pants Movie soundtrack, this long-overdue DVD debut from US indie gods The Flaming Lips features nineteen typically surreal promo videos from the past thirteen years of their career in lavish Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound, complete with commentaries from the band. Highlights of V.O.I.D. (or “Video Overview In Deceleration” if one’s shamelessly bumping up the word count) include the seizure-inducing Are You A Hypnotist?, the band trying to murder each other with a snow blowing machine in Christmas At The Zoo, and singer Wayne catching a fever from a kangaroo in the Sofia Coppola-directed This Here Giraffe.
