Drugs are bad, m’kay? But that hasn’t stopped The Flaming Lips lending their multifarious musical talents to a film about mushrooms. Ok, not just the ‘magic’ variety, but it’s a nicely appropriate fit for Wayne Coyne’s lot to be involved. Know Your Mushrooms was written, produced and directed by Ron Mann, who was also responsible for the 1999 film Grass, about the American government’s war on marijuana. The film follows “mushroom experts” Larry Evans and Gary Lincoff on “a hunt for the wild mushroom and the deeper cultural experiences attached to the mysterious fungi,” to quote the film’s website.
The Flaming Lips have provided a load of original music, plus ‘The Wizard Turns On…’ from last album At War With The Mystics. One track from the film, ‘Anything You Say Now I Believe You’, is now streaming on Myspace, while you can watch the film’s trailer below:
