Exclusive Premiere: Yeasayer’s Day-Glo “O.N.E.” Video
9 Mar 2010 | 10:36 am

Rolling Stone is pleased to present the video premiere of Yeasayer’s infectious new single “O.N.E.,” one of the many highlights off the band’s second album Odd Blood. The clip reunites Yeasayer with the directing duo Radical Friend, or Kirby McClure and Julia Grigorian, who previously helmed the Breaking band’s clip for “Ambling Alp.” In “O.N.E.,” we’re transported to the strangest warehouse rave party on the planet, where the shape-shifting protagonist engages in strange board games in front of an audience filled with Gagas while Yeasayer perform in the background.
According to the band, the odd game that our hero partakes in, which looks sort of like the board game Sorry with glass pieces, is based on “actual mystical charts and diagrams that represent the psychological warfare these otherworldly club kids engage in.” Definition: The day-glo video for “O.N.E.” is as much candy for the eyes as pleasant on the ears.
As part of this year’s Record Store Day on April 17th, Yeasayer will release a 12” single for “O.N.E.” boasting four different takes on the song: the album version, an instrumental take, a demo of the track and a remix by XXXchange. To read Rolling Stone’s four-star review of Odd Blood, click here.

Wayne Coyne Wants to Cast Justin Timberlake in Flaming Lips Movie
9 Mar 2010 | 9:07 am
It took seven long years for the Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne to make his oddball sci-fi flick Christmas on Mars, but the frontman tells Billboard he’s already behind the camera working on his next film. While the new movie is decidedly more down-to-earth than Christmas on Mars — instead of building UFO sets for each scene, the majority of this film will be shot at a nearby slaughterhouse — Coyne does have one astronomical dream for this new flick: to get Justin Timberlake to appear in it.
Whereas Christmas on Mars featured the Lips themselves in the main roles, Coyne says this time around he’s going to try to recruit some professionals, and some big name professionals at that. “I’m gonna try to get real actors, too,” he reveals, “celebrities to show up and have fun with us for a couple of nights. I’m in the process of begging Justin Timberlake to be part of it; if I’m lucky I’ll be able to wear him down in another year.” Coyne has proven his ability to recruit famous friends to appear on camera, as Christmas featured cameos by actor Adam Goldberg, Blue’s Clues‘ Steve Burns, SNL’s Fred Armisen and, in a scene cut from the film, Modest Mouse’s Isaac Brock.
In addition to working on his latest film, as Rolling Stone previously reported, Flaming Lips will perform their version of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon at this year’s Bonnaroo festival. The Lips will also launch a tour this Friday, March 12th with a pair of shows in Texas before heading out east in April.

Beastie Boys Delay “Hot Sauce” As Adam Yauch Continues Recovery

After spending the second half of 2009 recovering from salivary gland cancer, the Beastie Boys’ Adam “MCA” Yauch made an appearance at the Independent Spirit Awards last week to represent The Messenger, a film distributed by his Oscilloscope Laboratories. The MC told EW’s Music Mix he’s feeling significantly better and “getting my energy back” after the medical treatments, but Beastie fans might have to wait a bit longer for the group’s new disc Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 1. “It was really disappointing to have to hold the record and postpone the tour, but doctor’s orders. We may or may not [release Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 1] depending on how my health is come September. We want to but we have to play it by ear,” Yauch said.
Check out photos of the Beastie Boys through the years.
As Rolling Stone reported in December, Yauch previously said that the album would likely arrive in early 2010. Yauch told EW that since the album was recorded well over a year ago — it was initially slated to come out September 15th, 2009 — the Beasties will likely listen to the album again and decide if they want to do any late-game editing. “We want to take a look at it and re-evaluate and make sure it is what we want to put out there and that we are still happy with it. I don’t think we will change it up too much,” Yauch said.
The Beastie Boys were forced to cancel headlining performances at Lollapalooza, All Points West and Austin City Limits, as well as push back Hot Sauce, after Yauch revealed in July 2009 that he needed to undergo treatment for cancer in the Parotid gland in his neck. “I’m feeling healthy, strong and hopeful that I’ve beaten this thing, but of course time will tell,” Yauch wrote in an e-mail to fans in October 2009.
