As if there wasn’t enough to see and do at a Flaming Lips show, a St. Louis newsweekly has created Flaming Lips bingo cards.

Word to the wise if you plan on traveling to Australia anytime soon with a bag full of novelties: Keep your eyes on your giant stage props. The Flaming Lips learned that the hard way last week when someone swiped the supersized laser hands favored by front man Wayne Coyne.
