![[Album Review] – Black Lips – "Arabia Mountain"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3514979_lg.jpg)
Tweet Black Lips have flirted with the big time in the past. " Bad Kids ", a single off their 2007 album "Good Bad Evil", brought them some exposure in 2009 when it featured on the soundtrack to "(500) Days Of Summer", but any chance that this brief encounter with a wider public could lead to something more for the rowdy, garage rocking Georgia boys was pretty much killed by "200 Million Thousand". Released in '09 as well, the album found Black Lips [...]

On the band's sixth album, Black Lips clean up their sound with Mark Ronson at the mixing board. And even though things are coming in cleaner and clearer, the band hasn't lost any of their energy and attitude in the process-which is what makes Black Lips records so great in the first place. While not every one of these sixteen songs is a certified hit, the album goes in a cohesive direction and brings absolutely no filler to the table. Is this record for you? Find out in this review. Review: [...]
3 labels discuss the ins and outs of cassettes
Il non proprio facile carattere dei Black Lips è una cosa risaputa. Ultimamente il bassista della band Jared Swilley ha avuto un non-amichevole incontro con Wavves, di cui molti blog americani hanno raccontato , ma per ricordarne altre qualche mese fa il gruppo fu costretto a scappare dall'India per la paura di essere arrestati. Che ci volete fare i Black Lips sono anche questo. Ma sono soprattutto una delle più importanti band di flower punk in circolazione. L'ultimo album "200 Million Thounsand" non ci è piaciuto molto , ma ci fa piacere [...]
Black Lips have premiered the music video for " Let It Grow ". The track is off the band's latest album ' 200 Million Thousand ', out now. The video was directed by Matt Dilmore . Enjoy.
Los chicos de Black Lips me parecen de esas bandas estúpidamente irreverentes, pero que caen bien, esta vez no me queda ninguna duda de que los Black Lips siempre buscan hacer las cosas diferentes y a su modo sin impórtales lo que la escena dicta o muestra como tendencia. Les hablo básicamente del video de su nuevo sencillo, "Let It Grow", que básicamente es un trabajo que parece fue grabado con una cámara casera y con nula producción, sin embargo me ha encantado como se toman las cosas los Black [...]
[mp3] Black Lips: "Starting Over" So, dude took a pint glass to the face over the weekend. From people close to the parties, he was indeed asking for it. Shit happens I guess, but damn - that's a legit bar fight. Yet, don't we want that from our rockstars? They're supposed to be leading the lives we're too pussy to lead. I like my rockers hard-living and pretty much on the edge. Wavves and Black Lips fall into that category. Enough with this though. Vince is gonna kill me. [...]

Placebo have been forced to cancel their entire forthcoming North American tour after singer Brian Molko came down with a virus while on tour in Asia. The U.S. jaunt was set to kick off September 12 in Portland. While performing at Japan's Summer Sonic Festival on Sunday (August 9) Molko collapsed on stage and was rushed to the hospital where he was confirmed to have come down with a virus. Placebo [...]

The intro to this song is noticeably similar to one of my favorite MGMT songs, Time To Pretend . After that though it becomes a great song about well, starting over. I think I went through my starting over phase about a month ago but I still get hyped up by the song. Flower Punk at it's best. The Black Lips - Starting Over MGMT - Time To Pretend [...]
Oh, it's about acid. I get it.

You can officially call us gleeful at this new thing we just got into from the kids at Grandcrew.com , who host a website dedicated to filming live shows and hosting them online, in their entirety. It's totally stoke-worthy and awesome and here's evidence: Black Lips played a show last month at La Vapeur in Dijon, France where they played tracks like "I'll Be With You", "O Katrina" and "Drugs", and if you weren't there (as we assume most of you weren't), you can see and feel what it was like. All the blood, sweat, piss and [...]
Amidst the frenzy drummed up from their on-stage collabos with Wu Tang impresario GZA at SXSW earlier this month, The Black Lips have premiered a brand new video for "I'll Be With You," another standout from their latest Vice Records offering, 200 Million Thousand. Premiered last week on MTV2's Subterranean, you can currently catch footage [...]

Words and interview by Derek Evers Video by Jeremy Krinsley Photos by Hatnim Lee I feel like I keep starting my interview intros with "one of my favorite albums of the year was..." and then segue into a discussion about the band at hand (I must admit, the first quarter of the year has produced a lot of great releases). So I'll avoid that this time around, but it should be noted that I've listened to the new Black Lips record, [...]

"I'll Be With You," off of the Black Lips ' 200 Million Thousand , just received video treatment with plenty of the band's input. Music vid below, acoustic sesh here and tBL talking about the track here . I'll be with you is a pretty sappy, but heartfelt song about a dear friend. I wanted the video to reflect the feeling and mood of the song as I feel it. I wanted to kind of recreate old home movies I've seen of my family in the 60's, but make it [...]

Yay Christmas, birthdays and home movies of the 1960s!!! The Black Lips are back with another video for "I'll Be With You", the sappiest of the sappy from their latest record, 200 Million Thousand . Get that record now if you don't already have it guys. The subversive garage rock of Atlanta's nicest, most kissworthy boys is sure to garner a slot on many a year-end list. Unless of course, you're in India. Then, well, not so much. (mp3) The Black Lips - I'll Be With You Godspeed!
