If for some reason you aren’t headed to the F*ck Yeah Fest this Saturday, you could do far worse than drop $30 on Amtrak, head to San Diego and catch my favorite band The Flaming Lips for free. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Z Trip, Galactic, many more also on the bill; no word at press time on whether or not any of the vendors will be offering gigantic juiced sausages for your enjoyment. This is a 21-and-up event; no tickets required.
Full concert details at FM 94/9 (It’s About The Music). One final bit of Lips news: The Lips’ first live concert DVD (featuring a bleeping/blinking UFO at the Oklahoma City Zoo) is available for purchase starting today. [Details]
