2. Fiona Apple Fiona Apple's classic 1999 LP When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right previously held the world record for, shocker here, Longest Album Title.

It has since been beaten by Soulwax and later Chumbawamba (the current record holder), whose titles I will simply decline to type out. Incidentally, while it comes nowhere close to her original record breaker, Apple's latest record is called The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do, you know, just in case you thought she had lost her touch for ridiculously long titles or something.

1. The Flaming Lips Beating a record previously held by Jay-Z, the flying freaks from Oklahoma decided to shatter the record for the Most Live Concerts in 24 Hours last year. To promote Kingdom Come, his un-retiring album, Jigga played seven shows in seven cities in 2006.

Six years later, the Flaming Lips topped him by playing eight shows in eight cities, even bringing along the Guinness people to verify the legitimacy of their claim. They also topped Jay-Z by doing it all on a bus. Jay-Z, of course, traveled between cities by private jet.
