Maybe Miley Cyrus felt like she needed to follow-up last night's NBC concert special with something a bit more risque. Well, mission accomplished. Any parent who felt relieved by the more wholesome/fun prime time Miley, will likely be running for cover from this short film she made with Flaming Lips mad genius Wayne Coyne. We're talking serious NSFW: Drugs, nudity, cursing and all sorts of other bad stuff. There's a loose narrative involving Miley's missing brain, Moby and boobs, but it's best to let Wayne himself explain [via Rolling Stone]:
"The video story is something like this: Moby is an evil, power-hungry cult leader. He wants the world's most valuable (according to our story) psychedelic supernatural possession... John F. Kennedy's brain....the brain contains the original formula for the drug LSD!!!
Miley Cyrus has the magic brain!!! And Moby enlists a nympho Manson girl-type blonde superfreak to go steel the brain from Cyrus.
She steals the brain from Cyrus while Cyrus is still in bed in a drug-induced coma. Cyrus finally wakes up and is mega-pissed that her BRAIN has been stolen. She enlists a burned-faced Santa and a lesbian Bigfoot ( that are hovering in a nearby spaceship) to hunt down the blond superfreak that stole her brain. They have a relentless pursuit, all the while Cyrus laments the loss of her magic brain and Moby gains powerful rainbows from hell. In the end, the blond superfreak kills Santa and Bigfoot and a baby mole ends up with the brain…"
Oh yeah. And the Flaming Lips are disguised as rainbows, mushrooms and flowers watching from the sky room where a giant diamond explosion happens."
BLAM! Bonnaroo will turn what's usually a press release into something much bigger with the Bonnaroo Line-Up Announcement Megathon. Or, B.L.A.M., for short.
The festivities include Saturday Night Live cast member Taran Killam, comedian Hannibal Bures and a musical line-up that includes The Flaming Lips and Ben Folds. And you can watch it starting at 7pm ET via bonnaroo.com or their Xbox app.
A teaser video is up now and if it looks like a good, silly time — well, it was directed by Scott Schultz who honed those good, silly chops as a co-creator of Yo Gabba Gabba,
NSFW. NSFW. NSFW. Don't say I didn't warn you. In fact, it's so not safe for work I put the video after the jump.
When this went live last night, I wondered whether Flaming Lips are just trying to see how fast YouTube can pull a video for being insanely not safe for work, or if they're just messing with us now. Most likely the answer is "both."
It starts with a astronaut, with a head that rapidly flashes between being a giant eye and a sly vagina, who emerges from a spaceship holding a baby with a grown man's face. It ends with a meat grinder. In between there's nudity, cannibalism, brains and all sorts of other genius insanity.
It's not safe for work; It's probably not safe for anywhere.
