For the record, this is an issue of choice being overwhelmed by choice.

This is probably my favorite Lips video. Warning to anyone photosensitive, there are a lot of flashing colors and lights. It sure does work though, especially within the context of the Donahue’d out rocket of a song. They have a lot of dense videos, but this one takes the cake in my opinion. I also love how Ronald and Steven are in it, even though they didn’t play on that record. The video doesn’t have that many views on YouTube, so give it a watch!

What do you think of this video? What’s your favorite video from the Lips? Much love from Lawrence, KS!

Personally, the classic Bilboa (parts 1 & 2) has always been my favorite. The Caprice Classic Tape and Axis Bold As Boognish also rank highly for me.
What are your picks?

Howdy! Looking for bands similar in sound to the first six Lips records (including the debut EP). I’m already pretty into the Butthole Surfers, Hüsker Dü, and Ween, among others. Mercury Rev has been the biggest discovery in my quest for more fun, fuzzy Lips. But I’m still on the hunt for more!

While searching for Priest Driven live bootlegs, I stumbled across a show credited to the Black Halos. Supposedly there are a whole series of names and shows from this time. If anyone knows anything or has audio / video from these sets, please let me know. I am a massive fan of everything before Ronald Jones left, and I had no idea about these! Thanks.
