Jennifer Chancellor
, frontman for the Oklahoma psych-rock band the
Flaming Lips, recently sat down with actor
Adam Goldberg (who will be seen in the much-awaited "
Christmas On Mars" movie, you've likely seen him in projects like TV's "Entourage," or movies such as "Zodiac" and "Two Days in Paris") and the whole thing was caught on video for
Myspace.

From the Flaming Lips Web site (Hey Warner Bros: Somebody puh-lease update that thing! It's getting ridiculous...)
The Flaming Lips' first feature film, "Christmas on Mars" will be available in time for Christmas in 2003. Written and directed by Wayne Coyne ... the film tells the story of the experiences of Major Syrtis during the first Christmas on a newly-colonised Mars.
Ahem. In a recent Tulsa World interview, bandmate Steven Drozd (who wrote the score for the project) even joked about the much-delayed release date, then went on to talk about the soundtrack:
"I have a little studio in my house (in Oklahoma City), I'll do some basic things here and we'll take that to Dave (Dave Friedman at Tarbox Road Studio in New York) or Trent (Trent-Bell Labs studio in Norman) . . . and we get it into the studio and it becomes a bigger soundscape."
Think "orchestral sort of quasi-hymnal sci-fi music" a la the movie "Bladerunner."

To celebrate, or heck, just for fun, here are some photos I shot at this summer's Dfest music festival in downtown Tulsa, where the FLips played in Tulsa for the first time in more than a decade.
Enjoy.
