Ke$ha and The Flaming Lips Messed Around in Nashville

Well, we kind of snoozed on this one for a couple of days. But thanks to a reminder from occasional Cream contributor Leslie Keffer (via her blog, Noisebloid), we are now prepared to share this tantalizing sliver of goss with you. Euphoria junkies and heralded pych-pop architects The Flaming Lips were allegedly in Nashville over the weekend, palling around with our very own glitter-encrusted trash-pop queen, Ke$ha — in fact, the Lips and Ke$h-Ke$h were sighted at Springwater Friday night, watching bands including but not limited to something called Linear Downfall.

As confirmed by both Ke$ha and Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne's tweets, the band and the singer are collaborating on at least one trackhere's a clip of K$ laying down some vox. Anyway, there was apparently no sleeping and plenty of recording, and perhaps we'll all come away from this damn thing with a psych-glam-glitter-pop-rock track for the ages. Or at least something to wash down Ke$ha's Dylan cover. 2012: the year of the collaboration! And for more Ke$ha-related Nashville crossover, have a look at a clip of Ke-dollarsign-ha shaving her head while listening to The Black Keys after the jump. If that's the sort of thing you're into.

And then there is this one: http://www.mobypicture.com/user/waynecoyne/view/11824605 Which probably accounts for the lack of sleep and the fact that this track will surely be unlistenable garbage.

That looks to be Blackbird Studios, no?

It does indeed look like the "stick room" at Blackbird:
