C&L's Late Nite Music Club with the Flaming Lips

By Howie Klein Thursday Oct 04, 2007 10:02pm

Tomorrow our Blue America candidate is an extraordinary state senator from Oklahoma, Andrew Rice, a seminary school graduate who is firmly anchored in basic progressive values and principles. And he's taking on one of the most reactionary maniacs in the entire U.S. Senate, Jim "No Such Thing As Global Warming" Inhofe. Make your way over to Firedoglake tomorrow at 1pm Central Time (11am here on the West Coast) and get involved with the live chat between Andrew and members of the Blue America Community. You can also contribute to his campaign on our Blue America page.

We asked him what his favorite music is and he told us he's always singing Woody Guthrie's "Oklahoma Hills" to his kids but that among contemporary bands, he's got some constituents he's very gung-ho over: the Flaming Lips. In fact here's a live version of "She Don't Use Jelly" recorded right there in Oklahoma City.

Scandal Brewing at Oral Roberts U.

http://channels.isp.netscape.com/news/story.jsp?flok=FF-APO-1110&idq=/ff...

Richard Roberts is accused of illegal involvement in a local political campaign and lavish spending at donors' expense, including numerous home remodeling projects, use of the university jet for his daughter's senior trip to the Bahamas, and a red Mercedes convertible and a Lexus SUV for his wife, Lindsay.

She is accused of dropping tens of thousands of dollars on clothes, awarding nonacademic scholarships to friends of her children and sending scores of text messages on university-issued cell phones to people described in the lawsuit as ``underage males.''

Me and my girlfriend played "Yoshimi Battles the Robots" (not sure this is the exact name of the album, thanks to Dale's Scottish Style Ale) while she was in labor. It was very soothing... "Do You Realize" is one of the most poignant songs ever laid down. Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die?

Fri, 10/05/2007 - 01:20 — Napoleon Murphy Brock (not verified)

My life revolves around music. As a child it was The Who not the Beatles or Stones. As a teen it was Frank Zappa and no one else. In college the Clash and later the Dead Kennedy's made do. Then a gap. No good bands. Found Clouds Taste Metallic and have been hooked ever since.

Yes, FL is bubble gum but, other than Jello Biafra, Wayne Coyne appears to be the only rock star to have been fighting the war against the War in Iraq from the onset although thankfully, Springsteen is finally catching on.

Where was Billy Joe? Where was Tom Morello? Where was Fat Mike? Where was Henry Rollins?

Nowhere, that's where.

The Lips kick ass and War Pigs remix is a fitting reprise for all things Bush.
