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]
