The Flaming Lips have shared an expansive new song, “Flowers of Neptune 6,” that features backing vocals from country star Kacey Musgraves.
“Flowers of Neptune 6” boasts a sprawling arrangement that begins as a sparse bit of psych-folk but steadily builds to a lush and orchestral peak. The song arrives with a video, directed by Wayne Coyne and George Salisbury, that finds Coyne, wrapped in an American flag, wandering around a field — sometimes in his famous bubble ball — while sporadic fires flicker in the background.

John Malkovich's Playing Lynch series, where the actor reimagined some of David Lynch's most iconic character, concluded Monday with Malkovich recreating a scene from 1980's The Elephant Man.
The nearly unrecognizable Malkovich, assuming the role made famous by John Hurt, plays real life "Elephant Man" Joseph "John" Merrick in the pivotal scene where the deformed man quotes Psalm 23 of the Bible, which convinces doctors to allow him to remain under hospital care.
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," Malkovich mutters under a thick mask of makeup and prosthetics.

John Malkovich lends his intense glare to David Lynch's Eraserhead protagonist Henry Spencer in the new video from the Playing Lynch series, which reimagines the iconic director's weirdest characters through the Oscar-winning actor's interpretations.
In the latest video, Malkovich uses the dialogue from the scene where Henry has dinner with his neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. X, and transforms it into a creepy, paranoid one-sided conversation.
"So, I just cut them up like regular chickens? Hello, I'm Henry. I'm a printer. I'm very pleased to meet you," Malkovich says, replicating the character's halting,...

For his portrayal of the iconic, creepy scene, Malkovich sings and sways along with Zola Jesus' rendition of the Lady in the Radiator's mantra, "In Heaven."

We’ve yet to see any footage of next year’s “Twin Peaks” revival. In the meantime, you can whet your appetite for damn fine coffee with a new project sponsored by the David Lynch Foundation: Playing Lynch, a series of vignettes in which John Malkovich reenacts scenes from the singular filmmaker’s outré body of work. The scenes can be downloaded one by one, with proceeds going to Lynch’s transcendental meditation–inclined foundation. Watch a trailer for the series — as well as the first vignette — below.

Around a year ago, Los Angeles’ Ace Hotel held “The Music of David Lynch” concert, hosted by the Mulholland Dr. director’s foundation.
Featuring his go-to composer Angelo Badalamenti as well as Donovan, Karen O, Lykke Li, Duran Duran, Moby, The Flaming Lips, Twin Peaks (of course), and more as they cover various tracks from his work, it’s now been announced the show will get a double-lp vinyl release next week.

For music fans, nothing is more annoying than when an iconic band splits into two rival factions. That's the scenario in a new Portlandia teaser, which finds psych-rock veterans the Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne leading his own solo project, "the Flaming Lips Featuring Wayne Coyne," while his former bandmates operate as "More Flaming Lips."

During the song's first half, Cyrus is obscured as she scurries around under Coyne's massive silver cape. She emerges, wearing a silver wig, to sing lead during an electro-pop rendering of Paul McCartney's poppy middle section, sometimes resting her head on Coyne's chest.

What goes on tour stays on tour – unless it's caught on camera. With classic Beatles comedy A Hard Day's Night returning to UK cinemas on July 4, and Metallica's triumphant set at Glastonbury reminding us how far they've come from darker days, now feels like the time to look back on some of the movies that prove that maxim.
Below, we catalogue the craziest music movies ever made, helpfully divided into four distinct categories of weirdness.
Bad Behaviour
Beginning with its 70-something subject attacking the director with his walking stick, Beware Of Mr Baker (2012) introduces a man – ex-Cream drummer Ginger Baker – so bellicose he's made the whole world his practice kit. Like Brick Top from Snatch with even greater anger-management issues, Baker is a bitter old codger who "communicates more through his drums than his words", according to his long-suffering daughter. He certainly doesn't mince the latter.

"True Blood Drinks & Bites" was written by Gianna Sobol, Alan Ball and Benjamin Hayes, with recipes by Dawn Yanigahara. It's due in stores on June 11. In addition to the Lumière Sparklers, there are recipes for Scorn Fritters, Cheese Stakes, Maenad a Trois and Vamp Repellent.

New York — There was a time when most of the songs played on the radio came from Broadway. Now some popular hit makers like Cyndi Lauper and Sting are finding it still feels like home.
"Look, they don't break your balls that much here," Lauper said of the experience of composing "Kinky Boots," her debut musical. "Know what I'm saying? They don't friggin' aggravate you as much."
More and more singer-songwriters from the pop world seem to be hearing that siren song: The trickle of pop and rock stars turning to the stage is fast becoming a flood.
Besides Sting and Lauper, stars such as Sheryl Crow, John Mellencamp, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Edie Brickell, David Byrne, Fatboy Slim, Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello and The Flaming Lips are making musicals.
The reasons are as varied as the different sounds those artists create: Broadway represents a new challenge. Or it offers...

The Flaming Lips' epic album, "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots," details a fictional fight between the female heroine, Yoshimi, and a crew of colorful mechanical villains. The record's lyrics are so whimsical we weren't surprised that comic artist Pablo Stanley decided to lend his own graphic interpretation to one of the songs -- "Do You Realize."
Like his past music-inspired projects based on the Beatles' "Yesterday" and Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now," Stanley's drawings are so spot on we swear we can hear the soothing voice of Wayne Cohen wailing in our ears as we navigate the comic. Scroll down for the full illustration and let us know if you like the artist's work in the comments.

From Marvel's Ultron to Obama's brain mapping project, science and fiction are breaking the barriers between man and machine
No sci-fi plot is as reliable as that of the rebelling robot. It's a story as old as digital time: the once promising but ultimately impetuous computer/child, realizing its mortal creators are at best obsolete and at worst a plight, tries to eradicate humanity/father.
The first play to feature automatons, Czech playwright Karel Capek's 1920 piece Rossum's Universal Robots (R.U.R.), provided the template for the rotten robot, one used in movies, in books, on television and even music, as on The Flaming Lips 2002 album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.
And of course comic books have mined the robot-versus-man myth, as in the latest Marvel Comics limited series, The Age of Ultron, a tale in which villain Ultron, terrorizing heroes since 1968, returns once again to kill his creator, which is...

Denoting even further the band’s fall from the mainstream, The Flaming Lips’ “Do You Realize” is no longer Oklahoma’s official state rock song. Though it’s just become public information this week, apparently the move happened back in 2011, when the then-newly-inaugurated Governor, Mary Fallin, didn’t renew the executive order that had originally made the track official. According to a spokesman, the Republican Governor had more pressing things to do, like boosting school security and considering whether or not to sign a bill banning Sharia law from state courtrooms, and “addressing the state rock ‘n’ roll song ...

-- The Flaming Lips, "The Terror" (Warner Bros.)
Expectations for a new Flaming Lips record are soaring high, mostly based on the fact the band always delivers brilliant music. The feeling is you can always rely on a Flaming Lips record. Or can you?
I think the feeling we are left with after listening to "The Terror," however, is we miss the sound of singer Wayne Coyne's undistorted voice and the variation seen on other records by The Flaming Lips. And that feeling is there from the opening track – usually a strength for The Lips.
"Look . The Sun is Rising" seems overproduced with distorted lyrics and continuous drumming that makes it work well as background music but nothing striking as a track.
The album's title track sits solidly in the middle of the record with a repetitive drum beat that's intoxicating. But the vocals are lost and it's hard...

The rubber dildo jabs back and forth as Wayne Coyne frantically pedals the bicycle. The Flaming Lips are in town to promote their new record, The Terror, the Oklahoma City band’s thirteenth. In his gray suit and with his kinky nimbus of salt-and-pepper hair, their front man is trying out the Fuck Bike at the Museum of Sex on Fifth Avenue, quite a sight for passing window watchers. He dismounts, straightens his jacket, and grins: “Well, you don’t do that every day!”What’s funny is that this is very much like what Wayne Coyne does every day—pumping the pedals of the big, rubbery weirdo machine that is the Flaming Lips and pleasuring an expectant fan base with pop music and confetti-cannon party concerts. Coyne asks me to text him a picture of himself on the bike, which he then posts to Instagram and his 120,000 followers on Twitter.

Oklahoma City — Oklahoma's governor has taken The Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize??" out of rotation, pulling the tune as the state's official rock song in a move her office says has more to do with priorities than musical taste.
Republican Mary Fallin passed on renewing an executive order that gave the Oklahoma rockers' song the designation when taking office in January 2011, the governor's office confirmed Friday. Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz said the governor had other more pressing priorities.
"When the governor was elected to office, we had a $500 million budget shortfall, we were in the middle of a recession, and we had a huge number of pardon and parole cases left over from the (former Gov. Brad) Henry administration," Weintz said. "As we were clearing our backlog, renewing executive orders and pursuing our priorities, addressing the state rock `n' roll song did not make the cut."

5) The Flaming Lips & Bon Iver “Ashes In The Air”
Kicking off this week’s 5 Best Music Videos Of The Week is the latest from both The Flaming Lips and Bon Iver. This collaboration caused quite a stir and the video created an even bigger outrage. The pairing of The Flaming Lips and Bon Iver on paper sounds really cool and promising but in reality the outcome is a bit too weird and disappointing. The video follows the adventures of an astronaut which feature splattered brains and half-nude figures. This is probably the strangest thing the Lips have placed their name against in a decade.
4) Tyler, The Creator “Ifhy”
Directed by Wolf Haley
Technically, this was released last week but I couldn’t find a spot for it so it gets a mention this week. This is the second single off “Wolf” and even weirder and better than the first. I...

It’s not really news that The Flaming Lips and Ke$ha have both recorded and contemplated doing acid together, but it is news that the product of that musical merger is supposedly a full-length record. Or so says Coyne in a Reddit Ama yesterday, along with revealing the album’s name, Lip$ha, which sounds like some sort of cosmetic brand that never took off. Coyne also said that working with the pop star is a “blast on all levels,” and implied that the blood she contributed to be pressed into their collaborative Record Store Day 7-inch was, in ...

Last night, The Flaming Lips appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, and fans who were expecting frontman Wayne Coyne to bring something weird probably weren’t disappointed. The band debuted a new stage set-up and performed “Look… The Sun Is Rising” with the help of Coyne’s musical baby synth. Check out the performance in the player below. ...

So hey, speaking of The Flaming Lips, the band capped off a great episode of The Late Show With David Letterman (Louis C.K. and Rachel Maddow were also on hand) by performing "The Terror" off their pretty gloomy but definitely great new album (also titled The Terror, if you can believe that) in true Flaming Lips fashion: with Wayne Coyne covered in streamers and caressing a "sleeping" baby doll. Yep.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Release Date: April 1st, 2013 (UK) / April 16th, 2013 (Us)
The last we’ve (properly) heard from the Flaming Lips was 2009’s brilliant yet slightly difficult-to-embrace Embryonic. Since then, they’ve released a slew of songs in various and increasingly bizarre formats (gummy skulls, gummy fetus’, and a human skull that contained a song that is twenty-four hours in length, for example), covered Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety with a number of guests, and released a sub-par collaborative compilation album of songs featuring guests ranging from Bon Iver to Biz Markie to Nick Cave to Yoko Ono. Now they are ready to release the proper follow-up to Embryonic, which has been titled The Terror.
It is their thirteenth studio album, the first in four years, and by far their darkest (hence the title). Early buzz and press releases made mentions of this being a disturbing album,...

"My wristbands are getting in the way of my guitar," griped a bemused Wayne Coyne at the Belmont's outdoor stage in front of a few hundred very lucky people.
"SXSW problems," bandmate Steven Drozd quipped back.
Coyne also snarked that the crowd was "cooler than anyone else who couldn't get into the show" — a sideways comment on a festival that has become as much about where you can get into as who you see there — but then the Flaming Lips proceeded to make us feel pretty damn cool by launching into a historic first-ever full-album performance "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots," including some songs that had never been played live before.
The air was crisp, the crowd ecstatic and the Flaming Lips notched another epic moment onto their 30-year-long career's belt.

Steadfast fans of The Flaming Lips are used to Wayne Coyne's oddball proclivities, but it's a little alarming to see his particularly bonkers brand seeping into the mainstream.
First the Oklahomia acid rockers starred in a Hyundai Super Bowl commercial and now their frizzy-haired frontman is appearing in a new Virgin Mobile commercial commanding you to "retrain your brain" with what looks like a Coyne-dictated hodgepodge of surreal "wait, what?" imagery: a scuba diver hugging a shark, a giant cat filming a small man, a table full of lobsters.
What does it all mean? Will we be switching to Virgin Mobile before we know it? What does any of it have to do with The Flaming Lips' new album The Terror (out April 2), if anything? Figure it out for yourself below.

This year's annual Record Store Day recently unveiled Jack White as its ambassador, and now we know a few of the titles that White and other vinyl junkies will be lining up for on April 20. Grammy magnets The Black Keys are covering Iggy and the Stooges' seminal track "No Fun" for a split 7" backed by the original version. The orange and red sunburst vinyl is limited to 7,000 copies. Never ones to pass up the opportunity for hard-to-find release, The Flaming Lips are reissuing their 1997 sonic experiment "Zaireeka" in a limited-edition vinyl set. The infamous "Zaireeka" is comprised...

Despite oft-overlapping acts, massive music festivals have a tendency to always reflect their surroundings. No matter if Coachella is being headlined by a holographic Tupac or a bill brimming with early-90s Britpop nostalgia, the festival is always going to to feel like an outgrowth of Los Angeles--and be very different from Chicago's Lollapalooza.

The Flaming Lips are back to their wacky old tricks again. Yesterday, the band announced it will be releasing a Usb drive full of love songs for Valentine’s Day. While that might sound safe and sweet, the whole thing will be packaged inside a lifelike chocolate replica of an anatomically correct human heart. Of course. The candy organ—actually the group's second release packaged inside a replica body part crafted from something sweet—comes courtesy of Dude, Sweet Chocolate of Dallas, Texas. It runs a not-so-sweet $60, and is, unfortunately for your Valentine's plans, already sold out ...

Fast, fun and featuring The Flaming Lips, this Hyundai Super Bowl commercial has been one of the more controversial in this year's ad lineup, at least among fans of the band. Though some media mavens have praised the Hyundai clip, several netizens have taken to Twitter to lament the band's descent into the uber-mainstream:

Does anyone know what's going on in the actual Super Bowl? Because we don't. Continuing tonight's logjam of movie marketing, yet another gameday spot has dropped, this time for "Oz The Great And Powerful," Disney's great spring blockbuster hope. James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams and Zach Braff star in this riff on the classic, which looks like it's been CGI-ed out the eyeballs. The make or break moment for many might be how much you laugh (or don't) at everyone flying around in bubbles. Maybe they borrowed them from Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips or something. Travel to Oz on March 8th and watch below.

Ah, GoDaddy, don’t ever change. (Or change completely. That’d work too.) The lowest common denominator-minded web hosting company is at it again this year with another Super Bowl commercial featuring hot hotties being hot. The new girl of the moment is Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli, hottest woman in the world (according to Maxim) and ex-girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio.
In the ad, Refaeli trades down — way down — by locking lips with a bushy-haired, rosacea-stricken geekburger named Walter. See, the two of them represent the two sides of GoDaddy.com: “There’s the sexy side…and the smart side that...

Actually, that headline is sort of misleading. Though the following video is a teaser for ads that’ll play during a certain Big Game, Rogen and Rudd discover in it that they can’t actually use any copyrighted terms — meaning that “Super Bowl” itself, as well as the names of the teams playing, are out. Luckily, Breaking Bad’s Bob Odenkirk is there to guide them over this hurdle. (That’s why you always call Saul). Check out the “next big thing” below:
