Flaming Lips releasing a24-hour track in a human skull

Fri 30th Sep, 2011 in International News

Are The Flaming Lips trying too hard to prove that they really did do a hell of a lot of acid in their early days?

Following the recent release of their six-hour song and band leader Wayne Coyne declaring that he’s keen to collaborate with Ke$ha, the Flaming Lips have announced that they will record a 24-hour track. Weird! And the track will be released on a hard drive in actual human skull. Even weirder!

Coyne says the recording is a work-in-progress, but that “it’s a song about death and it’s a song about fucking and it’s a song about life.” The band plans to release the madness at midnight on Halloween. Ok guys, we get it: you’re crazy.

I think it's cool. The band are pretty well-known and established and are taking a year to mess around and try some cool things. They know that all this stuff isn't going to be taken as seriously as a new album, but they're pretty content in letting their imaginations run wild for a bit, because they've finally become successful enough to do it. Funnily enough, I think I recall Wayne Coyne stating he was anti-acid in The Fearless Freaks.

Yes wayne is against acid! He said in a video I saw recently that when he has half a tab his head explodes and he feels like shit. He is more of a booze guy and pot.

And by far the coolest man on the planet!!!

I am a big fan of the more accessible Flaming Lips stuff - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, The Soft Bulletin, At War With The Mystics, Embryonic, but even to me this sounds like a load of self indulgent nonsense.

Triple J posted a link to the song on the facebooks asking if you would listen to it and someone responded "No, but I would listen to Sleepyhead by Passion Pit for 24 hours."

People are derps.
