It’s been a while since we’ve seen something from Mobi, let alone something so flamboyant. The video was shot in L.A with Coyne (of The Flaming Lips) and Moby dressed up as a Mexican mariachi band, and it promises to become a classic anthem with a spicy mix of electronic and soul. There’s already been a few fine remixes from the song, and first up on those list are the Fuck Buttons, which you can…
Firefly Music Festival buzzing with killer lineup

Pick The Flamming Lips’ brain – new songs surprise inside gummy bear skull
The Oklahomans are no strangers to all sort of oddball endeavors, be it their ridiculous on stage antiques or various other promotion techniques; the latest – an upcoming commercially available gummy bear skull with an equally delicious gummy bear brain in it, ultimately inside of which you’ll find a flash USB stick with three new Flaming Lips songs. Oooook… “We found this guy in Raleigh, North Carolina, who makes all these gummy bear things– even…
Wayne Coyne’s home is one hell of a lair
Heck, the man wants a dragon on his roof! If you ever wondered what kind of home the eccentric Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne lives in, now’s your chance to take a glimpse. Basically, the man’s house is a faithful rendition of his wacky/psychedelia persona, and I’m sure no one could have imagine it otherwise. Check out some of the photos bellow of Wayne’s house published by Fitzsimmons Architects, the people responsible for its renovation….
The Flaming Lips cover Pink Floyd’s Eclipse at KCRW
As previously reported, The Flaming Lips’ follow-up to their recently released full length “Embryonic” will be a cover album of Pink Floyd’s classic Dark Side of the Moon, most probably adapted to the band’s eclectic experimentalism. This Friday, The Flaming Lips hit the KCRW studios where they played Pink Floyd’s 1973 classic closer “Eclipse”, as part of their session for the station’s Morning Becomes Eclectic show. You can check out the faithful rendition of Eclipse…
Flaming Lips set to record a Dark Side of the Moon cover album
Last night, The Flaming Lips played LA’s Ricardo Montalbán Theater as part of a more intimate set, free of the band’s usual live show props (no explosions, fake blood or anything that could be considered outrageous, not for The Flaming Lips at least). There, the band opened up the crowd with a set packed with new songs off the new album, “Embryonic” – a really hate it or love it release. Besides the impeccable performance,…

One of the most interesting releases of the week is Baroness’ highly anticipated sophomore release “Blue Record.” The band’s debut, “Red Album,” was a stunning progressive metal…

New Flaming Lips songs get leaked
A while ago we announced that everybody’s favorite Oklahomians, The Flaming Lips, will soon release an incredibly huge, both in size and awesomeness, double LP set. The 2xLP titled “Embryonic” will be the band’s eleventh full length studio release, the first in three years, after the band’s previous highly well received “At War with the Mystics,” and allegedly it will be the band’s most sonically adventurous material to date. Considering The Flaming Lips have some…
New Flaming Lips Double-LP set for fall
Awesome news for Flaming Lips fans and neo-psychedelia aficionados alike, as the Oklahomians are set to return with some new material this fall in the form of a double-LP (like x2!). That’s twice as much music, twice as much Wayne Coyne and twice as much fun! Don’t get too eager now, fellas, since although the album is titled, namely “Embryonic,” and quite a great deal of material has been recorded in Steven Drozd’s house, the…
