Time for music, as it is Friday afternoon, and if you haven’t heard this, it is special. I have always loved the Flaming Lips. I, however, did not know that a couple years back they got together with Stardeath and White Dwarfs and did this ridiculously beautiful, epic cover of Madonna’s “Borderline.” Then somebody posted it on Facebook the other night with the description “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!” attached to it, so I had to listen. I concur with that reaction. So we will start with that today, flick the switch on the iTunes shuffle, post the first ten random songs that come up, listen to some music, etc., etc. More videos after the jump!
1. Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta – “Summer Nights” (from Grease)
2. Tori Amos – “Happy Phantom”
3. Active Child – “Wilderness”
4. The Beach Boys – “Help Me, Rhonda”
5. Ray Charles – “Come Back”
6. Kenny Chesney – “I Remember”
7. Department of Eagles – “What Is Your Deal?”
8. The Byrds – “He Was A Friend Of Mine”
9. Coralie Clément – “Samba De Mon Coeur Qui Bat”
10. B.B. King – “The Thrill Is Gone”







I saw the phrase (Flaming Lips edition) and my brain exploded in delirious iridescent joy–I love love love the Flaming Lips and had never heard this cover by them. It was bloody transcendent, and I never thought I’d say that (except maybe ironically) about a song by Madonna. Oh man, thank you so much Evan for making my night. *whew*
Love the Lips! Thanx Evan! :D
