Flaming Lips Use Ke$ha's Blood In Record

The Flaming Lips will include blood from their collaborators as part of Record Store Day this year.

Frontman Wayne Coyne says he's been collecting vials from the likes of Ke$ha, Bon Iver, Nick Cave, Coldplay and Lightening Bolt, though it's not clear who has taken part with his creepy plan so far.

"I’m going to try to make a record that has every person’s blood in the record," Coyne told MTV Hive. "I don’t have everybody’s blood just yet, but I collected quite a few vials of blood and it’s actually sitting in my refrigerator as we speak."

Coyne says their blood will help form a limited-edition picture disk, "like a glass specimen." Only five or six of these disks will be made.

"You don’t really realize how many people are afraid of needles until you say, 'Hey, I’m going to send someone by the show tonight to get some of your blood,'" he added.

A regular version of the double-LP will be available to the public as part of Record Store Day. See the full list of collaborators below, or check out a sample track with Bon Iver right here (via CoS):

What. The. Phuck.

[N-D]

They're crazy - as always

[Pagan_Poetry]

I think they're crazier for even including Ke$ha, never mind collecting the vials.

Yeah, but it's Ke$ha's blood. She doesn't really seem like the holder of cleanest blood, does she?

[Pan-Tallica]

¿Qué?

[TimTheWizard]

They made a song with Tame Impala? This will be the best.track.EVAR.

[iommi600]

Coyne told MTV Hive.

Mess with Kesha's blood and you'll probably get HIVe...

[spiff-corgi]

Ke$ha's blood. One of us could make a joke about the dangers of hepatitis but I'm not going to be the one to do it.
In all honesty I think it's a brilliantly crazy idea. I'm more interested in hearing about weird stuff like this than the other Mustaine-related bullshit this site posts.

If it looks like Jack Daniels, you can tell it's definately her blood.

[LeakyFlask]

Nowadays, every time I hear Nick Cave's name mentioned, I think of Zoot.

Now, I'll never look at Jack Daniel's the same way I used to...

No it won't. It'll be a Lips track with some oh-so-knowingly-cool-and-retro organ.

[74SLIP26KNOT]

Well this is nice, you get to burn a little piece of Ke$ha Don't really know the band but if this is true I'ma' buy this album

[clw550235]

Now watch their fans get AIDS.

[mastodude13]

Thats nasty. I hate kesha

[MacgruberMullet]

Kesha has aids

[jurnag12]

They could also just kill Kesha and make like 500 of them!

[fuzmeister]

Ever since Embryonic, these guys have been going back to being freaking insane!

I like that side of them, but definitely prefer the pop/psychedelic sounds of Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi, and Mystics.

Either way, rock on, guys. Rock on.

[justinb904]

The featured artists will not only be in the songs but a bit of them will literally be in the artwork too.

[Drache Wachter]

Am I the only person disgusted by the fact that Yoko Ono is on this record?

No I have always compared her singing to a striking a cat in a burlap sack with a stick.

[Lol Natures]

They should definitely take a few more quarts.

[FiberMan]

Hasn't Wayne Coyne seen The Mighty Boosh? If he puts people's blood in records, all it takes is strong set of chompers for someone to be possessed by all of this music. And I, for one, don't want to see someone possessed by the essence of Ke$ha's, Bon Iver's, and Yoko Ono's music all at once.

[Engel22]

How 'bout you do one disk mounted in Ke$ha's severed head?

[BassFishin]

Blood rock.

I love the Flaming Lips and their peculiar style, so, eh. Whatever they wanna do. (As if they need my "phucking" permission)

[MeanMrMustard99]

A song featuring Yoko Ono??? No thanks keep your album!!!

[jsspang]

Flaming Lips will still suck... ke$ha blood or not.


Meanwhile, Ke$ha will still be the sexiest woman in music even if she contributes to Flamings Lips crappy ablum

[person9090]

\

So he's going to include a vial of herion with the album?

[teknoman]

Yoko Ono?... I know very little about her music skills but as far as i know the woman cant sing... she reminds me of Wing (South Park).

Or even worse: heroin!

[limpidgreen345]

The article doesn't mention that they'll also be releasing a line of lampshades made out of their collaborators.

[almudjk]

Who writes these songs, seriously? I'm working at NASA on acid. What the ****?

[Slaytan666]

I had always assumed that Ke$ha had green acid for blood..

I bet your narrowminded and listen to mainly metal. The Flaming Lips are legandary for being crazy as ****. Plus they make good music too. But you obviously don't know that and will probably deprive yourself of these guys' musical creativity because you "could give a shit less."

[AlecBeretz]

ke$has blood will burn through the record...

[Anansi]

I've never gave these guys a listen. Is the lack of cohesion (being polite) normal for them?

[cptcomet]

Article title in a months time - 'Music fan contracts HIV from Flaming Lips record.'

[smellslikefish]

hadnt heard these guys before but just looked up a few tracks. not bad. makes me wanna dwell deeper into pyschadelics

[Eifler121]

Clearly these 5 records will become immortal. Ke$ha...you just can't kill that kind of blood.

[iup788]

weird

[rhcpjhlz]

If you don't know the flaming lips, theres a pretty cool documentary called 'The Fearless Freaks' about them. I'm not much of a fan, but I really enjoyed it. It's footage from when they're young teens til now cause a friend of theres started documenting them way back. It's cool, they're really weird, but it's a nice feel good documentary.

Yeah, some stuff is really crazy, at points it sounds like they don't know how to play, but other stuff is more accesible. They're best trait I think is the down to earth, good vibe that they carry with them.

[djmarklaw123]

HEY NEW FLAMING LIPS ALBUM COMES WITH AIDS!!!!!

[djmarklaw123]

Everytime Ke$ha is played, God kills a kitten.
