Flaming Lips Debut Three New Songs Inside Gummy Fetus (LISTEN)

Oklahoma psychedelic rockers the Flaming Lips have unveiled their latest madhatter scheme: gummy fetuses that contain USB drives preloaded with three new tunes. We're all familiar with gummy bears? Yeah, well these are gummy fetuses and, presumably, they are quite a bit more disconcerting to eat.
Though the band has been known to play shows under giant spaceships, and Wayne Coyne often sings from an orb suspended above the crowd, these somewhat disturbing confections might be crossing several decorum lines.
This comes on the heels of releasing four songs in a life-size gummy brain last April, which itself was encased in a gummy skull. The band has either fallen head over heels with edible gummy treats or is riding a massive sugar high. That and they have literalized the role of “music consumer.”
No information yet on where the gummies can be found, though frontman Wayne Coyne recently tweeted "Just dropped off 6 gummy fetuses at GuestRoom Records" in Oklahoma City.
Take a listen to the songs online via @FutureHeartDay, if you feel uncomfortable eating the packaging.

I still remember when toys were coated with a tasty lead paint. At least gummy fetuses are non-toxic.

Conservative groups are calling on the Flaming Lips to abort their fetus candy marketing strategy.

This "art" ranks right up there with the fridge art that people have been raving about. It is, therefore it is...art.
