Flaming New Year’s Eve
The Wilco/ Flaming Lips show at Madison Square Garden on New Year’s Eve was overwhelming, entertaining and so much fun. While hundreds and hundreds of enormous sized colored balloons were bouncing around the audience, The Flaming Lips were partying on stage like true rock stars with streamers, confetti, projections, blood, and champagne. There was so much going on between the trippy movies playing behind them to the Donnie Darko-esque bunnies dancing with naked women who were wearing only paisleys with tassels. All along playing incredible music.
In one of their trippy short films this kid walks into a nightclub, makes his way through the crowd and into the bathroom, locks the door behind him, gets down on his knees, places a razor blade & a $20 bill on the rim of the toilet bowl, peels his skull back, takes his brains out from his skull, cuts lines of his brain, rolls up the $20 bill, snorts his brains, licks the razor, licks the bill, rubs the bill on his gums, his pupils become dilated, he gets up, struts out and then screen the reads: DON'T SNORT YOUR OWN BRAIN: ENJOY THE FLAMING LIPS! Wilco followed and was just as incredible and sounded just as amazing. Jeff Tweedy, the lead of Wilco was in his pajamas singing their originals before midnight and brining in the new year with cover songs like "Love Will Keep Us Together" and the Judas Priest song "Living After Midnight."
