Violet Sedan Chair on Fringe

The producers of Fringe seeded vinyl records of a fictional band, Violet Sedan Chair in record stores across the country. [Link]

The next episode of Fringe, airing Jan. 21, features Walter meeting his musical idol, Roscoe Joyce, who was the keyboard player in the 1970s band Violet Sedan Chair. (And he's played by Christopher Lloyd.) To tie in with the episode, the show's producers created an actual vinyl album by Violet Sedan Chair called "Seven Suns," and shipped copies to record stores around the country. (And now we're dying to hear what this thing sounds like!) Apparently the records have been sitting in stores for a couple of months already.
But each copy of the record is unique, containing its own set of clues and spoilers about the show hidden in the lyrics and liner notes, and possibly elsewhere.

I think it says this:

"I guess somehow through playing the keyboard you can tell that I had a great voice even though we never heard it, so i went for about a year and people would ask what are you gonna play for us and my my my favorite track on the record was violets slow vibrations because it dealt with topics that were real..."

That's what me and my cousin got out of it.  Also check out the rest of MIKELEEPSYCHS videos.  they were all loaded after this one and they are all kinda strange.  See if it is anything.  

Awesomeness.

Wired has a reference as well. [Link]
1971   The liner notes on Violet Sedan Chair's albumSeven Suns list a missing 11th song, and the penultimate track is rumored to produce hallucinatory effects when played on multiple turntables.
