Am I the only one who didn't realize The Flaming Lips were gonna be on the Colbert Report this Wednesday (the 16th)? No one tells me anything...I would have tried to be there!

Yeah but it's a lot easier to tell whats going on when someone just throws it out there in a new thread instead of having to poke around for half an hour and play hide and seek with the new info.

Or...if that thread were a sticky, and then whenever something was added, the list on the front page could just be edited.

Crazy, right?

Oh I know, my option is just so much to ask.

But in all seriousness, I'm still very excited to see them on the Report. I always KNEW they'd be on it, it was just a question as to when! It's my favorite show, so I'm very excited to see my favorite band on my favorite show. ^_^

I didn't realize that, either, but I'm excited for Stephen and Jon to be back on after the three week hiatus. And now the Lips, too!

Yes! I needed my fix of news run through the comedy filter. Watching nothing but straight news has gotten pretty depressing! I liked seeing Jon come out like Glick!

NEW YORK, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Listen up Nation. For the first time ever, ColbertNation.com will stream full albums from upcoming musical guests appearing on COMEDY CENTRAL's "The Colbert Report." The Flaming Lips will become the first performers to debut their new double album "Embryonic" on ColbertNation.com. The band will appear on the show on Wednesday, September 16 at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT. The album will be made available online for a limited-time only immediately after Wednesday night's show through Monday, September 21. "Embryonic" will be released on Tuesday, October 13. Also, this is the first time The Flaming Lips have pre-released an album digitally in its entirety.

"Embryonic" is The Lips' 12th album and will be released by Warner Bros. Records on Tuesday, October 13. This marks their first full studio set in three years following their Grammy Award-winning "At War With The Mystics." "Embryonic" was recorded in Fredonia, NY and Oklahoma City, OK with studio whiz and general co-conspirator Dave Fridmann and just may be their most sonically adventurous and compositionally vernal form of musical expression ever.

Sweet! Thanks for the update Doug!
