Ke$ha And The Flaming Lips Are Having Way Too Much Fun In The Studio
Sun Jan 22 2012 by Idolator Staff
Whatever is going on between Ke$ha and the Flaming Lips, it certainly promises to be... interesting. An album by the psychedelic rockers seem a perfect outlet for the facial hair-feasting Cannibal to channel her more, um, "experimental" side into before delivering her sophomore LP, but what the hell is going on over there?!? The band's Wayne Coyne tweeted photos and videos depicting him sticking his finger into K-Dollah's gold glitter (not a euphemism), a suspicious white substance (which she claims is ground-up Tums), and Ke$ha "singing about taking acid as the world ends" (jeez, whatever happened to just dancing?). Catch the madness below. More »

The Cutout Bin: Peach Pit Memories, Moving Bees, And Fake Woombles In The Wild
Fri Jun 19 2009 by Maura
Before we run off to the combination Pizza Hut / Taco Bell with our copies of Infinite Jest tucked underneath our arms, a few links worthy of your clicking / browsing:
• Steve Sanders may not have been much of a fan of alternative music, but rest assured that Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne is super-into the “kind of absurd extras that come with being in a rock band”–i.e. being on Beverly Hills 90210. [Spinner]
• A fan was so pissed about the new fan-funded album by Idlewild leaking, he posed as frontman Roddy Woomble on Twitter and threatened legal action against the villainous uploader. [paidContent UK] More »
Not All Of Oklahoma Is OK With The Flaming Lips
Fri Apr 24 2009 by Dan Gibson
When the Flaming Lips’ “Do You Realize??” was named as the official rock song of Oklahoma, I was a little surprised and impressed; after all, an act like the Lips would seem to offend the occasionally delicate sensibilities of the sort of person who aspires to state office. Well, as it turns out, Michael Ivins wore a hammer and sickle T-shirt to the state Capitol the day the state Senate announced the Lips’ honor, which didn’t sit well with some of the more conservative members of the Oklahoma House. And then Wayne Coyne added an f-bomb to his acceptance speech. More »
Your Friday Festival Lineup Addition Roundup
Fri Mar 27 2009 by Dan Gibson
It seems like during this springtime run-up to the summer festival season, there have been fewer lineup withdrawals from the big outdoor-music extravaganzas (with the exception of Winehouse) and more somewhat to very welcome additions. In that sunburned spirit, we present a wrapup of this week’s additions to Bonnaroo, the Pitchfork Music Festival, and the Calgary Stampede.
Win Butler Fires Up The Grill For Wayne Coyne
Thu Mar 5 2009 by Lucas Jensen
Win Butler from the Arcade Fire, called out for pomposity by supposed good guy Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips, fired back late yesterday what’s shaping up to be the Musical Beef Of March 2009. (It’s at least on par with some of the great beefs of the past, like Canibus vs. LL Cool J, Canibus vs. Eminem, and Canibus vs. relevance!) Butler says he only met Coyne once briefly and found him “a hard guy to get a read on.” He doesn’t recall any jerkiness, but he does say the band was jetlagged from a trip to Brazil. He also says that “Steven Drodz” [sic] was nice and is a big fan (as well he should be) of Clouds Taste Metallic.
The Flaming Lips Reignite Simmering Oklahoman/Canadian Hostilities
Wed Mar 4 2009 by Dan Gibson
So, Wayne Coyne doesn’t really care for the Arcade Fire, dropping some really spectacular quotes— including the bon mot “They have good tunes, but they’re pricks, so fuck ‘em”—into an interview with Andy Greene of Rolling Stone.
What Is The Rock Song For Your State?
Tue Mar 3 2009 by Christopher R. Weingarten
Today, the Oklahoma state legislature announced that “Do You Realize??,” the 2002 hit by professional hallucinogen-abusers and occasional rock band Flaming Lips, would be the state’s official rock song! This new honor sits perfectly next to their state bird (scissortail flycatcher), the state tree (Eastern Redbud) and the state testicle (left one). This special honor got us thinking—what are the other 49 states’ State Rock Songs? Did you know every state has one? Check out the full list after the jump!
