Vote for the Lips to win official OK state rock song
VOTE FOR THE FLAMING LIPS TO WIN OFFICIAL OKLAHOMA STATE ROCK SONG
October 14, 2008 - (Burbank, CA) - As we gently fall into Mother Earth's umber-hued Autumnal embrace, THE FLAMING LIPS naturally turn their darker thoughts to Halloween, their second favorite holiday. As expected, The LIPS will once again host their annual MARCH OF 1000 FLAMING SKELETONS parade on Oct 25th, in downtown Oklahoma City's Bricktown district, just a stones' throw away from FLAMING LIPS ALLEY.
Last year's inaugural Ghouls Gone Wild event was a huge success that drew LIPS fans from around the globe. This year's Supernatural procession will be even more incendiary as festive floats, (in)appropriately adorned cars, walking groups, and plenty of surprises along with 1,000-strong undead snaking through the streets of Oklahoma City. Wayne Coyne will lead the evening's proceedings as Master of Ceremonies Extraordinaire.
In order to participate in this year's event, fans must register via the LIPS website http://www.flaminglips.com/store. Special registration packages are on sale now and include a reserved spot in the "MARCH OF 1000 FLAMING SKELETONS" parade along with a exclusive Death March branded Skeleton costume, a Torch (participants must be at least 18 years of age, in sound/stable mental faculty, and agree to participate in a safe, responsible manner as we're talking about actual hot flaming fire here), and a super limited-edition event T-shirt only available to participants. It's going to be an unholy blast!
In other LIPS related activities, The Official Oklahoma Rock Song Advisory Panel has selected ten finalist songs to represent the great State of Oklahoma. Naturally, THE FLAMING LIPS and their song "Do You Realize??", from the gold-certified album YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS, is one of the contenders for Official Rock Song of Oklahoma. Other finalists include J.J. Cale, Hoyt Axton, All American Rejects, Leon Russell, and many more cool Okies. For a complete list of finalists and to cast your vote, go to: Oklahoma Rock Song. Voting has already begun, so log in and do the right thing America!
As previously announced, THE FLAMING LIPS will release their long-awaited Sci-Fi fantasy film, CHRISTMAS ON MARS on Nov. 11, 2008. We would like to correct and clarify information about the packaging of the various formats, which was slightly inaccurate in the previous press release. The correct configurations will be available in the following formats:
Standard DVD of the movie in 5.1 Zeta Bootis Supersonic Surround Sound + CD of the Original 12-track Film Score.
There will also be a special, limited-edition box set available as a Direct-to-Consumer Deluxe Edition available only via The Official Flaming Lips Website. Contents will include the DVD + CD along with a Collectible CHRISTMAS ON MARS movie ticket (just like the ones handed out at the debut screening), an exclusive Postcard Set, a special screen printed Popcorn box (also like the ones available only at the original Festival screenings), an Eat Your Own Spaceship sticker, and an exclusive CHRISTMAS ON MARS T-shirt unavailable anywhere else. Again, each of these items is available ONLY in this Direct-to Consumer-edition so don't hesitate.
As an added bonus, a limited number of the deluxe editions will be autographed by Wayne. To make things even more interesting, only 10 Limited Edition sets will contain a special Golden Ticket. Those who find one of the Golden Tickets in their package will win a pair of tickets to see THE FLAMING LIPS on New Years' Eve 2008/2009. Further details to be unveiled soon.
