The art punk garage band who started out supporting acts like the Strokes and the White Stripes has reportedly forbidden their lead (and very talented) guitarist Nick Zinner from doing what...

...popularity through their absurd live shows—which usually involve severe inebriation, prevalent nudity, osculation between band members, and nearly every bodily fluid imaginable—it’s not surprising that the Black Lips might find it difficult to convey that same intensity on a studio album. On the band’s latest release, “200 Million Thousand,” they try desperately to be as defiant and rebellious as ever, but what emerges is a stale form of the eccentric garage punk they’ve produced in the past. However, when...
