Flaming Lips to Make Feature Film
“When you’ve recorded a four-disc set requiring the simultaneous playback of all four and composed a symphony expressly for a forty-piece boombox orchestra, the logical next move would be to write, direct, produce, score and star in a futuristic epic where stranded space colonists celebrate the first Martian Noel with an alien replacing Santa (who killed himself). Logical that is, if you’re the avant-garde, neo-psychedelic, sonic visionaries known as the Flaming Lips.”
