Fearless Freaks."A documentary on the evolution of the Oklahoma band The Flaming Lips." Released 2005.
Especially if you love The Flaming Lips, but even if you don't. I just caught this documentary on the Sundance Channel (I think; maybe IFC), and it was really moving for reasons I'm not even sure I can totally explain. There's something about those guys that's breathtakingly lovely, not just as musicians, but as people. It's the thing that makes their shows just an amazing experience, gratifying down to one's very soul.
When I leave a Flaming Lips show at a small venue like Chicago's Metro, the usual crush of people piling down the stairs to leave is different; you're not shoved, but carried along as if you're floating. Or maybe it just feels that way.
