New Flaming Lips/Sufjan Live
iTunes has a the new Flaming Lips song 'Wand' from their forthcoming LP 'At War With the Mystics'. I say it's a winner. It really doesn't tread much new ground for the Flaming Lips, but it is a welcome change from the phoned-in singles released for soundtracks over the last few months. The track has a great groove, a mind-burning guitar riff, and some effective [however not novel] vocal effects. Plus, I'm never going to fault a band for using live handclaps in a beat.
Pitchfork gave it 3 1/2 stars, so take that for what it is.
In other news, the New York Times has a review of a Sufjan live show from the Allen Hall of the Rose Ballroom in NYC. It's a glaring review, so, bravo Sufjan.
