I opened up my email this afternoon and was pleased to find Black Lips' new track, "Short Fuse", off their upcoming sophomore full length 200 Million Thousand, due out February 24th, in my inbox. As Stereogum says, it draws on “state-mates R.E.M.'s jangly salad days in the verse, with plenty of weird whooshing space sounds to keep tight to their ‘flower-punk’ self-descriptors.”

Black Lips - Short Fuse
Black Lips - Starting Over
You may like to know that Black Lips are safe but have now fled India, where they were touring. They apparently have a very "short fuse" for on-stage nudity over there. Also, the bands video contest with vimeo.com for "Starting Over" is still up and running. Submit your video by February 15th, or until the video limit hits 200 million thousand.
