I am a firm believer that there are enough Christmas tree ornaments in the world and there is no need to buy anymore awful ornaments every year. However, that all changed today. Today I saw a video for The Flaming Lips’ Silver Trembling Fetus Christmas tree ornament. Lead singer, Wayne Coyne, even says it is rumored, but not scientifically proven, to make you smarter! Now who doesn’t want that? For the first time in years, I really wish I had a Christmas tree so I could hang a vibrating silver fetus on it. If you are completely sold on it, you can buy it here.
Check out the video below…

Hello BeatCrave readers! We have some cool stuff you might like, and it’s shopping made super easy. Below is a list of cheap MP3 albums that you can buy and download right now. I thought it would be fun to have an underlying theme (or you could also call it shameless self-promotion) and include some of our BeatCrave Favs in the mix. There are albums from Passion Pit, Kings of Leon, Mr. Hudson, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and The Flaming Lips. So if you haven’t listened to them, now is your chance! All of these albums are from Amazon, so you can still hear them on iTunes, but without all of the charges for DRM.
Check out the albums below…

Are you ready for some old school record action? This weekend marks the annual WFMU Record Fair in NYC. To celebrate, Warner Bros. Records is bringing vinyl to the people by hosting a booth you’ve got to check out.
Warner Bros. Records General Manager Tom Biery calls himself a vinyl freak and admits that there is not better place than the WFMU show to sell music directly to fans.
“I have been going to the show for years and have always thought that having a WBR/Reprise booth to sell our records would be a ton of fun as well as a great learning experience.”

We told you it was happening. Just a day after their not-so-secret show in LA, those who were not lucky enough to attend the show also got word that The Flaming Lips would be covering Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety.
LA may get a few a things behind New York, but sometimes the city of angels does have a chance to grab things first. For instance, Wayne and the guys stopped by KCRW for a session and interview during Morning Becomes Eclectic on Friday, and it’s all been taped for the fans! The session includes their cover of “Eclipse” – which is off of Dark Side of the Moon! Get your first taste of the album.
Listen to it here, or watch the whole thing below after the jump!

If you were one of the lucky ones to attend last night’s Los Angeles Flaming Lips show, you may already know this. However, we’ve got great news for everyone else!
According to the Los Angeles Times (via P4k), The Flaming Lips told concert-goers (during Q&A) that a cover of Pink Floyd‘s Dark Side of the Moon is in the works.
The band has always been on for attention grabbing, and they sure have it now. Forget the walking in a bubble. This cover album will surely be the focus of music critics all over.

Hopefully if you’re a Flaming Lips fan you will be in or near LA later this week, because in honor of their new studio album release Embryonic, they will be playing a MySpace Music Secret Show in Hollywood, CA, on Thursday, October 15 for their MySpace friends and fans! That’s right, see one of the craziest bands live at the intimate Nike Theater.
Tickets for the event will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis at The Nike Theater in Hollywood, CA, on October 15 from Noon until Midnight. Additional tickets will be available at Amoeba records with purchase of the Embryonic CD on street date, October 13. Sadly, ticket holders are not guaranteed seating so make sure you show up to the event early! Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and will close at capacity. I’m guessing you should be there by noon at the latest. Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll meet plenty of fun people while waiting in line.

Check out The Flaming Lips new two minute song “I Can Be A Frog” with a hot girl in a bikini dancing around like a mad woman pretending to be all the things he’s singing about. I for one am on the fence about this video. Some people are calling it “pure imagination” and others “pointless.” I get that The Flaming Lips create work that inspires you to use your imagination, but if I have to use it in order to create somethine that’s not there, than it is in fact pointless.
Check out the video below and decide for yourself…
