Flaming Lips - Western Esotericism


The Flaming Lips and Erykah Badu have made a surprisingly shocking video for the song Western Esotericism that will be the first single from the new collab-heavy album The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends, to be released June 26th. The video features Badu and her sister Nayrok Bares in a tub bathing in glitter, blood, and some sort of thick white cream. Some have interpreted it as glitter symbolizing glamour and fame, blood as a woman's physical sacrifices, and the white creamy stuff...well you know.

I really would have liked to post the video, but it's been taken off most sites and I can't play it on this blog because of the full frontal nudity. Click on the link below. 

Western Esotericism - is a broad spectrum of spiritual traditions found in Western society, or refers to the collection of the mystical, esoteric knowledge of the western world. This includes, but is not limited to, alchemy, theosophy, herbalism, occult tarot, astrology, Rosicrucianism and Western forms of ritual magic.

Here We Go Magic - A Different Ship




Here We Go Magic has put out yet another wonderful album. A Different Ship is their 3rd album, which is also produced by another musical genius Nigel Godrich. You know him from producing other musical giants like, Radiohead, Beck, REM, Air, and Paul McCartney. This is one of those albums that sticks with you for a while. I've already listened to the whole album over ten times and I still catch new layers of sounds. Here are a couple of my favorites off the album.
