From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transmissions from the Satellite Heart is The Flaming Lips' sixth album, released in 1993. Its fourth track, "She Don't Use Jelly", is notable for being The Flaming Lips' first charting radio hit, after its video was featured on the MTV show Beavis and Butt-Head, nearly a year after the album's release. "Turn It On" was also a moderately-successful single, and also had a music video (shot at a laundromat). The album marked the departure of Jonathan Donahue (to Mercury Rev), and the addition of guitarist Ronald Jones and drummer Steven Drozd.
The EP Due to High Expectations... The Flaming Lips Are Providing Needles for Your Balloons was released the following year to promote the album and featured live versions of "Chewin the Apple of Your Eye" and "Slow Nerve Action". The EP's cover art was also similar to that of Transmissions from the Satellite Heart.
