  If there's any band that needs no introduction on any planet or in dimension, it's the Flaming Lips. The Oklahoma City legends' new album, Embryonic, comes out today: a hefty, 18-track double album full of some of the most daring and schizoid music the band has produced in years. The band plays The Late Show with Conan O'Brien tonight as part of a series of release-week events in LA that includes a MySpace secret show and the opening of a pop-up store. Before all the hullabaloo began, we caught

• Concert Review: Kind of Blue 50th Anniversary Tour

  REVIEW BY ELGIN SMITH There are few things to say about Miles Davis' 1959 album Kind of Blue that haven't been said already. Phrases like "historically significant," "most influential," and "jazz masterpiece" seem to show up no matter where you look. While endorsements like these certainly don't come easily, they really do seem applicable when considering the quality of the album's music and the superior musicians that recorded it. Unfortunately, the members of the sextet that recorded the al

• Public radio brings you six hours of (good) holiday music

  Looking to soundtrack the holidays, but don't care for what we did with our Corrupted Christmas Mix? Local public radio has you covered. You've got your choice of either The Fish Fry's four-hour extravaganza, or the slightly less epic two Retro Cocktail Hour holiday special. homesweethomefront.co.uk​Both programs aired Saturday night, and I took advantage of the amazing radio to kick back on the couch in my pajamas with a glass of Iwig egg nog (the best nog around) and some reading materi

• New releases, Tuesday, January 19

  Dear record labels: Pick a goddamn release date and stick with it. We find difficult enough not to cave into the deliriously rampant piracy inherent in broadband and BitTorrent without expecting to be able to pick up a record on one day, only to find it pushed back a week or two. Sincerely, the music-buying public ​Spoon's Transference does, in fact, come out today. It's not nearly as poppy as GaGaGaGaGa, and any other the myriad fans the band attracted with "The Underdog" are going to be

• Q&A: Vedera's Kristen May

  Epic​Local rockers Vedera are stopping by the Beaumont on Friday, February 19 for a show with piano power-pop outfit Jack's Mannequin. After releasing their major-label debut, Stages, last November, the dreamy pop-rock quartet has been touring non-stop (and garnering some pretty high-profile attention along the way). We caught up with Vedera's frontwoman Kristen May for a short check-in to see how the quartet is doing out on the road. The Pitch: What do you miss about the Midwest when you're
