Flaming Lips: Ke$ha's Blood Will Be Used in Record Store Day Release

It wasn't enough to play on The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends, a star-studded limited-edition two-LP set the Flaming Lips will release this year as part of Record Store Day. To truly satisfy Wayne Coyne, the enduring indie band's kooky frontman, the album's numerous guest musicians will have to bleed for their art.

As the NME repots, Coyne is hoping to incorporate the actual blood of his collaborators -- a motley bunch that includes Bon Iver, Ke$ha, Neon Indian, Nick Cave and Erykah Badu -- in the Heady Fwends packaging.

"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 said. "I'm going to try to take that same concept and put little bits of everybody's blood in the middle of this record. Like a glass specimen thing."

Thus far, Coyne has procured hemoglobin from Neon Indian, Prefuse 73 and Ke$ha. According to the NME, only "five or six" of these extra-special records will be produced, meaning the discs will be even more collectible than the posters Coyne printed up in 2010 using his own blood.

There is a saying like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not “。If u really love her /him, age ain't nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is almost 10 years older than I .We met via http://www.agelessdate.com/ a nice place for younger women and oldermen, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! ,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends.
