    The Flaming Lips "The Terror" - 2013 LP

    Everyone told us Cry Baby Bridge in Alderson, Oklahoma was haunted.  My brothers and I didn't believe them.  We defended the creek by day.  Matthew, the youngest and most fearless, would climb down sewer drains and cram his hand into rotted tree trunks searching for intruders.  Jonathan, the strongest, would lift rocks chasing snakes and capture crawdads.  All day the creek was quiet.....One day we finally managed enough courage to stay the night.  Legend had it, nightfall you could hear the crying of a dead woman mourning her child and see her ghost.  As the sun went down we prepared our fort with rocks, spears, and arrowheads....Pretty sure face paint was involved.  The anticipation of the ghost shot jolts of terror through our veins and kept us up all night.  The ghost never came.  The Flaming Lips "The Terror" isn't the ghost....It's the waiting for the ghost.....A departure from their normal Zappa-meets-Okie-spaceballs and a little more serious.....excellent:
