The Flaming Lips recruit Henry Rollins for Dark Side of the Moon cover album

Contributed by ____Win_Win_Situation____. Posted by aubin on Monday, October 19, 2009 at 2:30 PM (EDT)

According to a LA Times report, the The Flaming Lips will be collaborating with Henry Rollins, Peaches and others to record a track-by-track interpretation of Pink Floyd's psychedelic classic, Dark Side of the Moon. The cover album, which may or may not sync up with the Wizard of Oz, will likely be an iTunes-only release, at least initially.

In related news, the Lips announced that they have resigned with longtime label Warner Music Group.

Please tell me that is true.

Wentz_Equals_Death (October 19, 2009)

it is, go download it! i will be doing a screening at my hotel room during the fest

I will fucking be there!

If you're lying to me I will rip your face off and wear it like a mask (as the last Terminator movie was supposed to end). If you're telling the truth I will make sweet love to your face (like the scene in T2, but replacing the arm of the T-1000 with my penis and John Connor's adopted father with your face).
That's a win/win.

Just reading the name "Peaches" makes me feel like I have chlamydia. Thanks, Flaming Lips.

Punk rock: all about singing well.

They've earned the right to do whatever the fuck they want after Embryonic. Quite possibly the album of the year.

DrGunn (October 19, 2009)

forever one of my favorite albums. not sure this is a good idea though.

SydBarrett420 (October 19, 2009)

This has "suck" written all over it.

Nene (October 19, 2009)

saw the flaming lips last night.
that shit was trippy but the singer talks a little too much in between songs

imageryandsound (October 20, 2009)

i've got a live performance of claypool doing animals at a festival- sounds better than claypool that's for sure. i'm sure the flaming lips wouldn't do this unless they were sure they could do it really well, so i'm stoked for this
