Flaming Lips: "Watching the Planets" Video

*WARNING*
*EVERYONE IN THIS VIDEO IS BUTT ASS NAKED*
*WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK*


I've been waiting to see this for quite some time and ummmm it's been...a while since I've seen something so outrageous, disturbing?, great? Just because I don't really get it doesn't mean there's something wrong with it. God I love the Flaming Lips.


For some reason I can't embed the video so go to NME and watch it there.

Or you can watch a squeaky clean (and fully clothed) live version HERE.

Flaming Lips in Studio Performance

Watch the Flaming Lips perform a few songs at KCRW studio including: Convinced Of The Hex, I Can Be A Frog, Watching The Planets, a rare Lips song called Enthusiasm for Life Defeats Existential Fear, and a little sneak peak into their Dark Side of the Moon cover project with the performance of the song Eclipse. Only question I have is why Wayne has all those notes to the right of him, kinda weird that he doesn't know the songs?

Flaming Lips Friday

Happy Flaming Lips Friday everyone!! I figured this was in order because the Lips have just released their 12th album (and first double album) entitled "Embryonic" this past Tuesday. The album is quite an ambitious effort and combines their psychedelic space-rock sound from previous efforts such as: At War with the Mystics and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots with their acid/alternative/punk rock roots.

According to Wayne Coyne, The album came out of some extended jam sessions and "draw inspirations from Plastic Ono Band era John Lennon and Bitches Brew Era Miles Davis". There is certainly some interesting stuff going on in this album and it's certainly worth a few listens and if you are a Lips fan, maybe several. (hey the music guru/snobs over at Pitchfork even gave the album a 9 ! wow wow)

Here's a little video history of the band, from their early beginnings up to now.

Enjoy!
