Full of wonder, between albums, and practically hemorrhaging bubbly tunes, the Flaming Lips have recorded yet another song for a film soundtrack, a move that will surprise no one who's seen a film in the last six months.

The new track "Love the World You Find" will be included in the Zach Helm-helmed, "Natalie Portman runs an enchanted toy store" movie Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. The fittingly Lips-ian flick, which also stars Dustin Hoffman and Jason Bateman, hits theaters November 16, though Varese Sarabande will drop the soundtrack November 13.

The Lips have also added a number of "Zaireeka Parties" to their previously announced pair of 'em, at which the notoriously hard-to-play LP-- recently expanded to a fifth disc for its tenth birthday-- will be presented in all its stupendous synchronicity. There's nothing like the simple joy of hearing "track number two, CD number three" with a room full of puzzled potheads. And, hey, lil' Wayne's gonna (virtually) be there!

In other Flaming Lips news, how many other bands do you know with a Halloween parade, a Christmas flick, and their very own alley? Not enough, friends. Not enough by half.

Zaireeka parties:

10-28 Oklahoma City, OK - Size Records
10-30 Dallas, TX - Good Records
11-02 Atlanta, GA - Criminal Records
11-06 Indianapolis, IN - Luna Music
