New Flaming Lips - "Once Beyond Hopelessness" (Stereogum Premiere)
Last week "Space Bible With Volume Lumps" put us in the proper mindset for Christmas On Mars, the seven-years-in-the-making science-fiction film written and directed by guitar hero Wayne Coyne. The DVD's out in two weeks, and in its deluxe form includes a Lips score of almost all-new instrumental material. One such song, "Once Beyond Hopelessness," soundtracks a scene in which Major Syrtis has to convince Santa Claus to appear in the colonists' Yuletide pageant before they run out of oxygen. I'm guessing. I haven't seen it.
Here's the trailer:
And here's Wayne described the deluxe edition. One copy comes with a golden ticket!
The Christmas On Mars DVD/CD is out 11/11.

Looks like "Byrd Brother" era C.Hlillman. God how that record has cinnematic flow.
Score = 0
The movie is horrible, really really bad
Score = 0
I love these D-BAGS that keep telling people that Christmas On Mars sucks.
Score = -2
Of course it's horrible, but in a completely awesome kind-of way.
(this coming from a guy who hasn't even seen it)
Score = 1
Ive seen it and you are wrong. It is actually really freaking awesome in the most terrible, unwatchable, disappointing way.
@Robert: I know right, why would someone who has seen the movie speak up and voice their own opinion of it when it is brought up in discussion? Such douchery.
Score = 2
I bought tickets ($12) for the NYC showing of this, huge Lips fan and I tried really hard to like it but couldn't get into it, all the other fans who i went with felt the same way.
Score = 2
The film is freakin' fantastic! It really says something about you if you didn't like it. Please, slowly and gently, remove the corncob from your anus.
Score = -2
I know, dude! I'm always telling people who don't like stuff that I like that they only feel that way as a result of a vegatable-variety anal probe!!!
Sometimes they go on to ask me if I like anal probes and I say no and they then ascertain that I must have something up my ass for not liking anal probes, but they are wrong (I am never wrong in my assumptions, though).
I'm glad you and I can officially confirm that when someone has different tastes than us it must be because something is wrong with them or they are suffering from vegatable rape.
Score = 1
