This just in: The Flaming Lips are nutcases

Yes, you're reading this correctly. Following the release of their charitable six-hour song, the Flaming Lips will record a 24-hour track and encase five of the recordings (which will be placed on hard drives) in human skulls, reports O Music Awards. Frontman Wayne Coyne says the song 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." As far as procuring the skulls, Coyne mentions a local Oklahoma City institution: "There's a place in town that's called Skulls Unlimited that's been here for almost as long as the Flaming Lips have been here, and it sells human skulls." Appropriately, the track's scheduled for release at midnight on Halloween.

Oh DAMMIT! I had 15:1 odds that it would be a 30 hour track about a nation of giant turkeys to be released on Thanksgiving! I had a lot of money riding on that bet...

...wait, my country doesn't even celebrate Thanksgiving...

I get the impression this sort of thing is just normal business for the Flaming Lips. They've done a lot of odd things.

I saw an article about Wayne Coyne's house. It was weird.

Also, my cousin and his band got to dance on stage with them. Which was cool. But yeah, at this point, nothing they do can really surprise me anymore...
