Missed this weird — and I mean really weird — track from The Flaming Lips and Ke$ha (an artist I’m coming to respect more and more) when it dropped a few months ago, but the clashing dissonance and chilling robotic insistence that “you must be upgraded” is as titillating as it is sci-fi. This is not a singalong… not at all. It’s barely even a song. Rather, it’s a piece of art. Listen below.
