Good news for those who missed last weekend's "Fantastical Film Freakout" at the Inwood Theater: Good Records will screen the Flaming Lips' years-in-the-making Christmas On Mars tonight at 9 p.m.

But if you really love those fearless freaks from Oklahoma--or if you just like free beer--get there early. The store will be tapping a keg at 7 p.m. to get the crowd properly lubricated for a 7:30 p.m Zaireeka listening party. Zaireeka, as any Lips fan knows, was released 11 years ago today and consists of a single eight-song album released on four CDs meant to be played simultaneously. For the 10th anniversary last year, the band released a fifth disc to further expand the sound. Good will be playing all five discs over its P.A., but nonetheless encourages attendees to bring their own stereos. Also, bring something to sit on and a costume, as there'll be a contest. The evening's schedule is after the jump.--Jesse Hughey

7-7:30 p.m. Keg Reception 7:30-8:30 p.m. Zaireeka with Virtual Wayne and Fifth Disc 8:30-9 p.m. Second Annual Costume Contest 9-10:30 p.m. Christmas On Mars 10:30-11 p.m. Exit Music
