Late Night Tales: Flaming Lips



"Late Night Tales and its predecessor Another Late Night are the names of two related series of artist curated compilation albums released on Late Night Tales independent record label. The tracks on the albums are selected and mixed by a diverse selection of DJs, recording artists, and bands, asked by Late Night Tales to create the ultimate late night mix. Many of the albums end with a story track, read by famous British performers including Brian Blessed and Patrick Moore. The 16th album in the series was the first complete spoken word release, performed by David Shrigley, and was released in October 2006. The most recent mix in the series is by MGMT, released on 3 October 2011. The Flaming Lips are an American alternative rock band, formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1983.The group recorded several albums and EPs on an indie label, Restless, in the 1980s and early 1990s. After signing to Warner Brothers, they scored a hit in 1993 with "She Don't Use Jelly". Although it has been their only hit single in the U.S., the band has maintained critical respect and, to a lesser extent, commercial viability through albums such as 1999's The Soft Bulletin (which was NME magazine's Album of the Year) and 2002's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. They have had more hit singles in the UK and Europe than in the U.S. In February 2007, they were nominated for a 2007 BRIT Award in the "Best International Act" category. By 2007, the group garnered three Grammy Awards, including two for Best Rock Instrumental Performance". -Wikipedia
