Lips Desperately Seeking Pink Floyd

Doing a song-by-song remake of Dark Side Of The Moon... wait, didn't Phish already do that?!?

Geez, we'd barely finished posting our exclusive Wayne Coyne "Words of Wisdom" interview at the site today along with our, ahem, glowing 9-stars-out-of-10 review of the Flaming Lips' new album Embryonic, when word came down the newswire (okay, technically over the Internet) that the band's on to the followup!

According to the Los Angeles Times, in a story about last night's special mini-concert by the Lips at Hollywood's Ricardo Montalban Theater to promote Embryonic, Coyne & Co. "have already recorded a follow-up to Embryonic. The band will release a track-by-track interpretation of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon in the near future, which it recorded with Stardeath and the White Dwarfs, a band that features Coyne's nephew Dennis."

The Times added that guesting on the album are Henry Rollins and Peaches (apparently in the MGMT and Karen O roles of Embryonic... or maybe it's the other way around!), and that at the moment plans are for the remake to be an iTunes-only release.
