Career Overview: The Flaming Lips

By Jason V. Dobbins

The Flaming Lips 12th album, Embryonic, is set to come out sometime this year. With that in mind, here's a look back at the best seven Lips albums to date. They are ordered by time not by greatness!

In a Priest Driven Ambulance (1990) - For some noise rock lovers this is actually The Flaming Lips best album. I'm not really a noise rock lover myself, so I'm not in that category. But I do enjoy this album. At first I found it a bit off putting (I first fell in love with The Soft Bulletin) but has grown on me.

Hit to Death in the Future Head (1992) - This may be The Lips most underrated album. It's got a lot of real gems on it. To me this was the Lips moving away from noise just to be making noise and towards something more experimental and interesting.

Transmission from the Satellite Heart (1993) - This is probably the Lips most overrated album because it has their most overrated song, "She Don't Use Jelly," on it. It's still a great album though because a lot of the other songs are very good.

Clouds Taste Metallic (1995) - The pinnacle of the Ronald Jones era. After this album Jones (the lead guitarist) left the band and they went in an entirely different direction. For some this new direction was even better than the old, while others will always prefer the old style of the Lips.

Zaireeka (1997) - You can only listen to Zaireeka as intended by playing all four CDs on four different CD players simultaneously. But there are a lot of mix-down versions of the album "out there" that gives some approximation of the experience.

The Soft Bulletin (1999) - The most perfect Lips album to date in my opinion. I think it's easily among the greatest albums of the 1990s. A modern day classic that should be heard by anyone who takes "pop music" seriously.

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002) - To many who have discovered the Lips more recently this is the Lips best album. While I do think it's a brilliant album I do think The Soft Bulletin is a superior album. - 18762

What The Most Frequently Used Movie Ratings Indicate

By Jeffery B Marshall

Movies have forever had a rating system to utilize as a guide to let folks or parents know if a film is appropriate for certain spectators. Many times it is used to safeguard children from inappropriate violence or sexual scenes. Many people have disagreed with the ratings of various movies and there has even been copyright violation cases where a company with intent deleted scenes from movies that they deemed improper even though the movie had a good rating.

All movies are diverse and it is exceptionally thorny to have a established standard that is dependable for each movie. In just one movie, one person may consider a realistic suicide by gun scene to be unacceptable while another individual may be offended by a semi-nude scene that suggests sexuality. Different people have diverse beliefs about what may or may not be appropriate for a picture.

In spite of this the rating system is based upon theme and content. It is really up to parents and individuals to come to a decision if a movie is fitting or not. One should not rely completely upon a rating system but only use it as a general guide.

The G rating is apt for General audiences, or most everyone. There is not sexual or nude scenes, no swearing, drug or alcohol use, no cigarette smoking or violence.

PG stands for parental guidance. There may possibly be some passing moments of the aforementioned scenes but it is not extreme. Parents are cautioned to be attentive that these passing scenes may exist. PG-13 is a stronger PG caution. These movies are as a rule unsuitable for children under the age of 13. There may be some nudity, implied sexuality or violence. This rating is essentially for a movie that does not deserve an R rating but is still worse than the normal PG.

An R movie restricts anybody less than 17 to enter without the accompaniment of an adult guardian or parent. There are often sexual scenes, drug abuse or violence. Parents should be encouraged to watch the movies beforehand and conclude cautiously if the movie is suitable.

The newest rating is an NC-17. No one under the age of 17 is admitted into the theater to see these movies. These movies are not often pornographic but they do have adult content, either sexual or even violence beyond what is suitable for everyone below the age of 17.

As with each parenting choices, a parent must take their own responsibility for what movie is correct for their own child. It is not sensible to rely on the ratings system but only to use it as a general guide. - 18762

Music Theory Affects Business Psychology of Everyone

By Bjorn Bringhorman

Ever since commercials have existed they have been based on the nature of psychology. Using music theory has only served to make this even more obvious.

Consumer satisfaction is likely going to win over anything else. Time and time again business has used psychology along with music theory to fuel desires. Products promoted will likely be able to satisfy the shopper. Melodic persuasions will draw people in to try something new or even reinforce something old and familiar. Big business knows this and that is why they keep promoting well known products and refresh the ads with new tunes.

Children are often engrossed in stories that have music associated with them. It is not unusual to hear a child singing a song that has been played repetitively. The business industry is very aware and utilizes music theory. By taking a melody with just the right balance of consonance and dissonance and using this with product promotion the child is pulled in. The tune may be repeated over and over by the child and commercials. While shopping the same tune is recalled. The desired result is met when a purchase is made of the melodic product. And the product itself doesn't even have the ability to sing any song. Hence the product has come alive!

Awareness of what draws the consumer to buy has been well researched. Billions of dollars are spent to brings products to the forefront. People who are well aware of music theory are often employed to take an equal part in ad development. Melodies that are unique, old standards or more contemporary are connected to product promotion. Of utmost importance the choice of music has to have a positive effect on the psyche of consumers. It has to be music that says "yes" when consumers are shopping. For some products such as health or home care items the tone may be quite different. There may be a stronger tone to emphasize that a product is powerful.

Some people are not going to be as greatly influenced to buy the promoted brand. There has to be something more to draw them in. Often these are people who have tight budgets and simply cannot afford any luxuries. Promotions that emphasize savings are likely to be the most noticeable. Jingles have been often heard that indicate a sale item. Commercials show that there are lower priced options when going out to eat. Music theory comes into play to produce assuring tones delightful melodies to draw consumers in. - 18762
