Make a new video for The Dead Exs!

David Pattillo and Wylie Wirth – aka garage blues duo The Dead Exs – wants you!

They have a new album coming out in a few weeks.  The lead track is being given away as a free download (see below), but they don’t yet have a video clip.

They’d like you to make it for them.  That’s right, just send them a clip you’ve shot yourself which depicts how the song makes you feel. The band will then edit together the best clips for your enjoyment.  If you think you’re up to the challenge, they want to hear from you…

Closing date: September 10th.

Flaming Lips release new video with Amanda Palmer

In June 2012, The Flaming Lips hit the music headlines when their video for ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ appeared online. The hugely NSFW video, starring Erykah Badu (and her sister Nayrok), was leaked by the Lips’ frontman Wayne Coyne in an edit not previously approved by Badu.

The Flaming Lips have now replaced the clip with a similar (also NSFW) clip starring Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls.

The new clip (as well as the withdrawn clip featuring Badu) can be viewed below.

ONCE AGAIN: BOTH CLIPS ARE NOT SAFE FOR WORK.
