I'm selling my (near mint) copy of Waking Up With A Placebo Headwound (the Flaming Lips' special edition photo book) on eBay right now. There's only a day left on the auction, and the book is out of print now (there are only 1500).

It's signed by the band and Michelle, so take a look. Right now it's only at about $20, which is much less than it actually cost me in the first place. There's no reserve, so it's a pretty great opportunity to grab a copy of this great piece of Flaming Lips history for a great deal!

Yeah, I wrote something in

Yeah, I wrote something in the description about how there's a little creasing on the bottom of the box, and it's in the picture, so it would be pretty jerky of me to not include it!

When you said Box, I took it as a box. Not wooden.

Yeah, the box isn't actually

Yeah, the box isn't actually wood, it's more of a stiff cardboard with a shiny finish. It's the original box, pictured in the photo on the auction that will be included with the book.

Possibly the White Stripes' "Under Great White Northern Lights" thing? I know that comes in a fancy box, too.

Well, the book is awesome. So

Well, the book is awesome. So awesome in fact, that after my getting it and seeing how cool it was, my roommate got himself a copy too. Now, it seems kind of silly to me to hoard two of this killer piece of Lips history in my apartment, and the following lyric from Wilco's "Sunken Treasure" came to mind:

 
If I had a boat
You know I'd probably roll it over
And leave it on the shore
 
I'd leave it for somebody
Surely there's somebody
Who needs it more than me

booo....

I have torn my closet apart...all trying to find a list. That is probably in a box somewhere. (Everything is packed up cause our house is Super small)

Bah...I have no clue what i was talking about. And that bugs the piss out of me. Oh well! :(

Your auction is doing good btw just checked on it! Go boy!

Thanks, guys. I was a little

Thanks, guys. I was a little worried when I first posted this here, because it was only at like twenty bucks, which seemed like a shame because I paid about $130 for the book to begin with. I'm happy with where it is now though. Of course if it keeps going up, I won't complain!

THANKS!

Hey man,

I wanted to thank you for offering up your book to other Lips fans. I was fortunate enough to win it and It just arrived today....I really appreciate it. It's even more awesome than I expected it to be. I dig the Wilco lyrics you cited earlier too...very cool

Many thanks!
