On February 10, Flaming Lips multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd will drop by the University of Central Oklahoma's Academy of Contemporary Music to give a Master Class. The class, only open to enrolled students, will consist of an interview and Q&A with the homegrown psych-rock vet. As NPR reports, Drozd has a good reason to drop by: He and Lips manager Scott Booker actually started the Academy, which teaches students about both music and the music industry. In the last semester, students got a Master Class from the Who's Roger Daltrey (who sounded like absolute ass at the Super Bowl last night, by the way) and a mini-concert from rockabilly legend Wanda Jackson, who was backed by Academy students. 2010-02-08T13:36:57-08:00 The Flaming Lips' Steven Drozd will school you blog 1 0 33483 true 2010-02-08T13:36:56-08:00 the-flaming-lips-steven-drozd-will-school-you false 1167 image/jpeg images_8_.jpg 4803 2010-02-08T13:36:58-08:00 2010-02-08T13:34:15-08:00 false false false 1 2010-02-08T14:21:58-08:00 20005 2 This feels very wrong for MANY reasons.

Max has decided to open the door for a limited time to Say Anything fans to submit ONE to TWO paragraphs about an issue they are having, a serious problem they are going through, or even something they just felt should be written about. Max will deliver an acoustic, full length actual Say Anything song based on your experiences and what you submitted! Each song is 100 percent written by Max for YOU, the buyer. No two songs will be the same. It will also be named after you. Songs can also be written for special situations like anniversaries, engagements or the death of your dog. Please be aware that all sales are final. Click [url=http://www.merchdirect.com/SayAnything/?productid=9900#]HERE[/url] to yourself on the list! [b] I won't lie to you... as soon as the song shop is back in stock I am totally buying myself a song![/b] 2010-02-08T11:31:34-08:00 Max Bemis wants to sing about you blog 1 0 33480 true 2010-02-08T11:31:34-08:00 max-bemis-wants-to-sing-about-you false 1164 image/jpeg images_5_.jpg 2807 2010-02-08T11:31:36-08:00 2010-02-08T11:21:54-08:00 false false false 1 2010-02-08T13:22:13-08:00 20005 4
