A few weeks back, we mentioned that The Flaming Lips, Ke$ha and Biz Markie were collaborating on a new song -- and sharing blood -- for TFL's Record Store Day double-album, Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends. At the time, our minds could barely process what a track featuring one part hamster-ball-loving indie band, one part glittery party monster and one part Barbie doll-collecting rapper would sound like and now we have the answer: "2012 (You Must Be Upgraded)" pummels your ears with discordant, experimental sounds mixed in with Ke$ha's slightly ghoulish singing. It's pretty interesting and certainly unlike anything we've heard from the pop star or Biz Markie, that's for sure.
The album, which came out on Saturday with a limited release, appears to be sold out already but you can listen to "2012 (You Must Be Upgraded)" above.
