About this album

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 two different music videos, one of which was shot at a laundromat. The album marked the departure of Jonathan Donahue (to Mercury Rev) and Nathan Roberts, and the addition of guitarist Ronald Jones and drummer Steven Drozd.
