Look at this guy. First, he claims he’s the only fan of The Flaming Lips in all of Chicago. Then, a few people actually step up and say they're going. Now, suddenly, he's decided to lecture us all on what kind of music these... uh... whoever they are... play.

Just lovely.

Give me more. Throw in some buzzwords like "fairytale," "escapist," or whatever else—maybe even mention The Soft Bulletin. 😁

And who else from the nineties is worth checking out, besides Radiohead and The Replacements? I need some new music to hunt down.

My apologies. It’s Friday. The last two weekends were workdays, and I just want to head home and pass out. To make matters worse, I have a coworker who keeps calling this a *magical concert by one of the greatest bands in the world* every fifteen minutes. I snapped at the first person who dared to bring it up.

But don't worry, I'll settle the score with anyone else brave enough to poke the bear on a Tuesday. 😁

You're being a bit prickly. I didn't mean to sound arrogant, but it's nice to know there are other fans out there. I just hope they aren't zealots. 😁 😁 ...Don't be so stubborn... they're good, but they aren't gospel.😉 You wouldn't show up to a concert carrying a weapon, would you? 😁 ...

Deserter Songs fits this holiday season perfectly with its fairytale, escapist vibe... it’s incredibly dreamy, especially tracks like Holes, Endlessly, and tonuti IT shows—it feels like being teleported into a parallel universe🙂... and the rest holds up just as well. I know I’m repeating myself, but this is easily one of my favorite albums from the 90s, sitting right up there with The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips🙂... though you should also give All Is Dream a listen; it’s just as good, just a bit more rocker in its structure... take Little Rhymes, for instance
.
I’m genuinely curious how this will translate to a live show; looks like there will be a decent turnout after all👍

It feels like I’m the only one left in New York City who actually cares about Mercury... nobody’s talking about them, and there isn't even a dedicated thread. It’s pretty depressing considering they’re one of the most brilliant bands out there right now.👎 Come on, any other fans out there? I really don't want to be the only person at the show.🙂 Has anyone actually sat down with Deserter songs? It was easily one of the best albums of the nineties, and its sequel, All is Dream, holds up just as well. Their latest effort is a bit of a step down, sure, but it’s far from a disaster.👍 Is anyone planning on hitting the concert?
