Clay's gay, Dylan's streaming and the Flaming Lips are still just weird
A few musical questions this week:
- The AP reports that Bob Dylan's new bootleg series album, "Tell Tale Signs" will stream free on NPR's website for a week before its official release. Ain't Bobby so cool?
- Is there anything more anti-climatic than Clay Aiken coming out of the closet? Any fan who didn't realize he's gay either hasn't yet had the birds and bees talk or richly deserves to have her world shattered by this non-story.
- The Flaming Lips are finally releasing their weirdo outer-space/holiday movie Christmas on Mars. Follow the link for an exclusive trailer. It's getting a limited theatrical release -- closest theater to us is in Nashville -- and is coming to DVD Nov 11. How can you resist a film featuring modern psychedelic rock music in space AND Santa?

It's sad that like Lance Bass, Clay waited until he didn't really matter any more to announce he is gay. Kinda doesn't mean anything now, and in a way, it's like he's making one final grab for headlines before people stop talking about him forever.
On the other hand, I guess his confession means that my friend from UNC-Charlotte who claims to have dated him wasn't a narcissistic liar.
