The Flaming Lips Share ‘You N’ Me Sellin’ Weed’ Video
Even though we’re being encouraged not to be so close to each other these days due to the pandemic, the Flaming Lips’ latest video for “You N’ Me Selling Weed” completely breaks that idea of personal space. Filmed during quarantine in Oklahoma, the video shows singer Wayne Coyne in the backseat of a car.

In addition to the announcement, the group shared a video for “My Religion Is You,” which has a similar steady ballad type of vibe to “Flowers of Neptune 6.” “The music and songs that make up the American Head album are based in a feeling.
