Flaming Lips, I think you're cool, but just like a parent yelling at a child to remove its fingers from an electrical outlet, I gotta lay down the law for your own good. No offense, but the last thing At War With the Mystics needs is more of itself.

According to Billboard.com, the band's latest album has been expanded into a two-disc CD/DVD set and is slated for re-release on October 24 via Warner Bros.

In addition to its original lineup of songs, the record will feature the outtakes "Why Does It End?", "You've Got to Hold On", "Your Face Can Tell the Future", "The Gold in the Mountain of Our Madness", "Time Travel?? Yes!!" and the Lips cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", which originally appeared on the Queen tribute album Killer Queen. Also included are eight songs culled from various live radio sessions, one being a cover megamix of Sonic Youth's "Unmade Bed" and Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter", Billboard reports.

The DVD holds the videos for "Mr. Ambulance Driver", "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song", "The W.A.N.D.", and, no kidding, Coyne's 2006 commencement address at his Oklahoma City high school alma mater. Always wear sunscreen, kids.

As previously reported, the Lips are in the midst of a U.S. tour, with a UK tour to follow in November. Their next show, on Friday at the Oklahoma Zoo, will mark the debut of the band's big UFO stage-landing, an event that will be paired with a recording of its July 23 Hollywood Bowl gig for on a live CD/DVD (tentatively due in early 2007). Check out the poster for the show after the jump.
