The Flaming Lips: "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" [feat. Amanda Palmer]

Yeah, this song already had a video once... but if you'll recall Erykah Badu took grievious exception to what she deemed "shock" tactics (wonder just what in the fuck she was thought was going to materialize while she was watching the band film it). So nearly three months later we get a recut video sans Badu's (frankly kinda homely) sis, Nayrok, and in comes Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls. Same basic theme, except instead of viscous, blood-colored fluids this time Palmer is frolicking around [still nude] in a tub full of plain old vanilla flavored water. Still NSFW if the above image didn't already get you fired.

KILLER COVERS || The Flaming Lips: "God Only Knows"

Anyone familiar with the Flaming Lips - particularly their mid-90's (semi-)crossover period - knows that there's always been a certain pop sensibility behind their skewed, acid-drenched aesthetic. That said, this brand new cover of the Beach Boys classic "God Only Knows" proves that they're not particularly interested in separating the psychedelia from their pop. While arguably one of the more "accessible" things they've done in recent memory, they turn this old chestnut out (Paul McCartney's favorite song of all time, incidentally... let him do his own faithful cover if the original is so damned bulletproof).

This was recorded for one of those MOJO magazine cover CDs that seem to be nothing but anniversary celebrations of classic albums via current artists putting their own spin on the tunes.

The Flaming Lips: "Supermoon Made Me Want to Pee" [feat. Prefuse 73]

No one goes all out for Record Store Day like the Flaming Lips. This year they have a full album of collaborations out somewhat childishly called The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends. In addition to brand new guest turns by Nick Cave, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Bon Iver and Chris Martin of Coldplay (whut?) - most if not all of whom have contributed their own blood to be pressed into the vinyl - it also rounds up a few previously released co-op's such as "Is David Bowie Dying?" (Neon Indian) and "I'm Working at NASA on Acid" (Lightning Bolt). "Supermoon Made Me Want to Pee" is the second of what will presumably be a long string of NSFW animated videos.
