BBC News reported that the Oklahoma band known for magic,
adventure, weird stuff and more have performed eight times across the
Mississippi Delta as part of MTV's O Music Awards, beating the previous record
set by Jay-Z.
The rapper played seven gigs from Atlanta to Los Angeles in
2006, but Wayne Coyne and his cronies took the extra step and began a series of
shows starting in Memphis, Tennessee and finishing in New Orleans, Louisiana,
with 20 minutes to spare before the deadline.
While onstage, Coyne said: "At five this morning you
thought you were going to crawl in, barely be able to sing and hope you can just
survive it. But as the day went, everywhere we would go they'd give us energy -
now I feel I could go another 24 hours."
The singer also released a statement commenting on their
historic achievement, writing:
To be published alongside the man who ate 22lbs (10kgs) of
his own boogers, beside the woman with the longest toenails, or perhaps even to
be published beside an individual who has had maybe 1,000 cockroaches stuffed
into their ears… that, to me, would be one of life's absurd joys.
This and many, many other reasons are why we LOVE FLAMING
LIPS! CONGRATS BOYS!
