That some things The Flaming Lips do on the surface seems flaming bonkers is nothing news. The new idea of the Wayne Coyne led band is to record a song that lasts 24 hours, which, talking in earthly terms, is about a day. The song will know a limited release of five, and this is probably because it will be packaged in a human skull. The skull will get inserted into him a hard drive with the 24 hour song on it. It will cost you about $5000.
Picking the right skull for this endeavour was quite the undertaking, because how does one fit a 24 hour song into a skull? Some opted it was a memory issue and the brain that particular skull was attached to had to have a good memory to store a 24 hour song. Otherwise it would forget and suddenly it would stop playing halfway through and start singing Mary Had A Little Lamb. No no, said Morty Steinbeck, it is about size. Storage is about size, not about memory, so we need a large skull. Are you suggesting, Ketih von Sondow replied, that we should just take any old skull as long as it is big enough? Could we, if it is all the same to you, just take a monkey’s skull? Think of the legal implications of that! All the animal rights movements protesting.
