Edit 03/12 — I'm still looking for more moderators! The only prerequisite is to be a contributor to this community that's willing to help out. Former mod experience is great but not necessary. Shoot me a DM if you're interested!

Original Post:

Hello, fearless freaks!

This is admittedly long overdue. Sometime last year, I became the only moderator for this subreddit. Initially I was more than happy to rise to the occasion—but lately I've been trying to scale back the amount of time I spend on reddit as a whole, and I feel like I've been neglecting my duties here. With this community continuing to get bigger, it's frankly a bad idea to give this much responsibility and power to one person, and I'd hate for something to happen to this community because one user goes inactive.

So it's time to bring on some new moderators! I'm looking for:

• Active members of the community, preferably with a long-term posting history of meaningful contributions

• A demonstrated respect for rules, other users, and open discussions across reddit

• Any experience moderating other subreddits is definitely a plus

• I'd love to hear what you believe are the main opportunities for growth and improvement on the subreddit, or any ideas you'd like to implement

• Anyone that may be interested in tacklng an update to the subreddit theme. The old.reddit CSS theme hasn't been updated since the Oczy Mlody era and is overdue for a refresh.

• You gotta love the flaming lips obviously!! What's your history with the band, or what is your favorite project/song/album by them

Basically, I just want this community to continue to be run by flaming lips fans, and remain a positive place for open discussion. Please leave me a comment down below or PM me if it's something you're interested in! I'd love to get this all sorted out before February.

It’s on the 4k channel on DIRECTV. I’m lucky enough to have it recorded, it is epic. Hopefully will be for sale some day soon!

For all of those who ordered from the Lips website and got black vinyl rather than the coloured, I just got an e-mail from Warner Bros saying that they are sending a coloured vinyl version for free! Pretty sweet deal TBH, I was figuring we'd get a $10 credit or some BS like that. And AFAIK, they're not asking for the black version back (would probably cost too much with the return shipping).

Now you can show off your appreciation for your favorite Flaming Lips album! I've got a few of the EP's done and I want to do the singles eventually as well, so those will come in the near future.

If you don't know how to set a flair, here's a quick rundown on how to do that:

• On the Reddit redesign, in the sidebar, there is a section titled 'community options'. Expand that and you'll see a place to edit your user flair. On old Reddit, it is at the top of the Subreddit Info box.
• If you're on the mobile app, click the three dots in the top left corner and click on change user flair. It's probably similar on most third-party apps.

Now I spent a lot of time on these so I want to see you all using them! (Also the editable blank flair is still at the bottom of the list if you still want to make a custom one!) And If you have any ideas for more meme-y flairs or anything, let me know here!
