| Initial details of what is being called With a Little Help from My Fwends were unveiled earlier this year, including a handful of its participants, a release date (28 October), and news that proceeds would go to benefit Oklahoma City’s pet-friendly Bella Foundation. In July, the Lips offered up one of the most bizarre promotional clips of all time: Blonde SuperFreak Steals the Magic Brain, starring Coyne, Cyrus and Moby, was initially supposed to be a music video for their version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. | |
| “I don’t know if it was for creative or legal reasons, but Wayne changed the Lucy audio to this very experimental, David Lynch-like psychedelic soundbed, ultimately,” Moby told Spin magazine. He also helpfully explained the video’s plot: “I’m an evil wizard and I desperately want JFK’s brain because encoded therein is the original recipe for LSD. I command my naked minion to go steal the brain from Miley Cyrus, who is livid. She then contacts Melty-Face Bigfoot and Weird Santa Claus, who are in a spaceship orbiting the earth, and commands them to battle my naked minion.” | “I don’t know if it was for creative or legal reasons, but Wayne changed the Lucy audio to this very experimental, David Lynch-like psychedelic soundbed, ultimately,” Moby told Spin magazine.

| With this new tracklist, Coyne has laid out the full extent of the Lips’ collaborative take on the Fab Four’s magnum opus. Besides two songs with Cyrus, there’s a title track team-up by Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis, Fever the Ghost and My Morning Jacket. On the reprise it’s Foxygen jamming with MGMT. Other contributors include Dr Dog, Phantogram, Juliana Barwick and Grace Potter. | With this new tracklist, Coyne has laid out the full extent of the Lips’ collaborative take on the Fab Four’s magnum opus.

| Lately, the Flaming Lips have been in the habit of curating and coordinating bizarro tribute records. Past volumes include face-melting versions of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, King Crimson’s In the Court of the Crimson King, and the Stone Roses’ self-titled debut. The band’s last studio LP, The Terror, came out in 2013. | Lately, the Flaming Lips have been in the habit of curating and coordinating bizarro tribute records.
