Oh hey, remember that one time you went to see the Flaming Lips — cough, KXT’s inaugural Summer Cut, cough – and you were blown away by just how weird that band is? (Awesomely weird, but super-weird nonetheless.) Well, the Lips released Skull Brain Music on a little digital drive that’s embedded in the middle of a skull (!) - a skull made of edible gummy material, no less! If you have someone in your life this weird, then you have to bid on this item for them.

Yes, yes — Jakob Dylan’s Wallflowers are a pretty big deal. But not so big that they didn’t sign a few items for us when they played in North Texas recently. The Glad All Over poster and the CD are signed to be sure, but they come with an extra slice of awesome—that’s right, we’ve got photos of him signing the goods. Wallflowers fans, GO!

This auction item’s pretty strange, but – dare we say it – mega cool. Start with an oversized LP case with a copy of the new Widespread Panic double CD Wood, which also includes a limited-edition letterpress poster designed by Nashville’s legendary Hatch Show Print woodblock letterpress shop. Add a booklet with loads of great pictures. Then, here’s where it gets weird: also included is some sort of petrified wood block in its own carrying-frame-contraption. It’s cool, feels like stone, but sure looks like wood. Finally, the whole set comes with a bamboo keychain. Let the Panic begin.
