As part of a new tribute album, the Flaming Lips will be covering 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.

I have no idea what to expect.

Queen tributes should leave that off.

Flaming Lips should do something from Flash Gordon or Highlander.

I'll keep it in mind, but I don't think it's gonna supplant what's currently on my biz card, which is: "Good For 1 Free Beverage".

I like the Daniel Johnston tribute album. I don't have it but I listened to the entire album in Reckless Records in Chicago once. I have no life.

What's even more pathetic is that the only reason I don't do that is because I'm too lazy to stand at a listening station for 40 or so minutes.
