Lil Wayne Rocks; Wayne Coyne Gets Naked

The cover art for Weezy’s new album Rebirth and a new Flaming Lips music video starring a whole bunch of naked people have been released.  What do these two things have in common?  Not a damn thing.  But they’re both worth taking a look at. 

Rebirth, Lil Wayne’s first rock album, was originally slated to release on April 7, 2009, but after several set backs over the past few months, for the time being, the official release date is set for December 15, 2009. 

Universal has released the cover art for Weezy’s new release, which may be a sign that this December 15 date may actually stick.

In other music news in no way associated with hip hop music, The Flaming Lips have posted the video for their new track “Watching the Planets” and it is NSFW due to the extreme cases of nudity spread throughout the 6 minute video.

 Wayne Coyne called for all fearless clothes-shedding citizens of the Northwest to join him in the filming of the Flaming Lips new video, and if you call them they will come. The naked wanderers came by bike and to found their way to Mt. Tabor in Oregon where the video was shot.  

And Coyne walks around in a bubble!  Click here to view on NME.
