On June 23, Warner Bros. will release the 10th anniversary edition of The Soft Bulletin on 180-gram, 2xLP vinyl (with possible bonus CD). The album was The Flaming Lips' ninth full-length, considered by philosophers, scientists, and critics/gatekeepers/cultural arbiters to be the single most important document of human existence. "Without The Soft Bulletin, life would be a mistake," said Friedrich Nietzsche. "Music has a power of forming the character, and we should therefore be introduced to The Soft Bulletin when we're young," insisted Aristotle. "The Soft Bulletin has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel," opined Buffy Sainte-Marie The Vampire Slayer.
