Stream the New Flaming Lips Album, Courtesy of Stephen Colbert

If you missed last night’s Colbert Report like I did (strict 9:30 pm bedtime policy), then you missed a rousing performance of the song “Convinced of the Hex” from their upcoming album, Embryonic.  Never fear though, because I’ve embeded the video below for your viewing pleasure.

In addition, you can stream Embryonic in its entirety directly from colbertnation.com RIGHT NOW!  Personally, I’m abstaining from listening to it until I can get a copy of the album in my hands.  The digital age has made record releases much less of a big deal than they used to be (with leaks and streams, etc.), and a new Flaming Lips album is, to me, a big freakin’ deal!  There’s nothing like walking anxiously to your car from the record store with a fresh CD in your hands, getting to your car and ripping the shrinkwrap off, and then basking in (what is hopefully) the glory of a fantastic album!

But if none of that matters to you…head on over to colbertnation.com and check it out.  Embryonic releases to stores on October 13, 2009.
