Get Your Yeah-Yeahs Out

"Back at the video shoot at the Los Angeles slaughterhouse, there was a surreal moment when an unexpected visitor wandered onto the set. It was Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca, the leader of the largest police force in the country, who looked a bit ashen when he happened upon a scenario that looked like some sort of fast-food snuff film. He had been touring the property for a completely unrelated purpose and, as he exited, he made a strained joke about wanting to go on a diet after seeing the surreal proceedings.
Coyne wore a smile of puerile mischief as he watched Baca leave. 'If he saw the cops in the video he might have gotten mad,' Coyne said. 'That could be fun.'"

Ladies and gentlemen, the Los Angeles Times presents a profile of the Flaming Lips.
