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 track — here'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.
