New Black Lips album 200 Million Thousand, which Pitchfork's Jason Crock awards a 7.3 today, veers off into echoey oddness just when you might've expected the Atlanta garage-rockers to take their critical acclaim and start cruising toward Main Street. As the Byrds-tinged "Short Fuse" shows, though, Black Lips still have a way with catchy songs that bring a sardonic 21st-century perspective to sonic touchstones from previous eras (something tells me the new Star Trek movie isn't going to include anything like this song's cheesy sci-fi sound effect). The song's intense-- and intensely fun-- animated video also looks to the past without losing sight of the This Very Second While You Are Reading This Post, Including These Specific Words of This Post. Yes, These Words, Too. Says a VBS.TV commenter with a Pabst Blue Ribbon can for an avatar and the screen name "baberhamlincoln": "my dome is blown." Party time, excellent.Video:> Black Lips: "Short Fuse"[from 200 Million Thousand; due 02/24/09 on Vice]

Black Lips sound revitalized on the singles from their imminent Black Lips Sing In A World That’s Falling Apart, "Odelia" and especially "Gentleman." But they're still definitely the same band with the same shtick, out of step with this moment in indie rock but in perfect synchronicity with their own muse.
