A daily miasma of frivolity by two wanna-be cultural critics. Or: just, like, some good links, dude.

It’s a full day of rock and roll here on Nullary Sources to celebrate the 235th anniversary of America’s birth.

Let’s start things off with The Flaming Lips and The White Stripes doing some celebrating. Technically they’re celebrating New Year’s Eve but we all know they were cheering for Freedom in their hearts.

The video starts off chill with a performance of “We’re Going to Be Friends” featuring Flaming Lips multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd. But be sure to stick around for the NYE countdown (with what sounds like Ligeti’s Atmosphères playing in the background) and the Lips covering “Seven Nation Army”. Rock.

In 2002, The Flaming Lips & Beck appeared on Austin City Limits (seemingly in support of Beck’s new album Sea Change). I honestly really don’t know how to describe what transpires next aside to say that I can certainly understand why they didn’t tour together for very much longer. (Skip ahead to 2:45 if you’re an impatient bastard.)

Flaming Lips & Stardeath and White Dwarfs – Borderline

Wait for it…

Does anyone expect anything less than greatness from The Flaming Lips at this point? Good gravy.
