Pitchfork: Flaming Lips to Cover Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon

According to an L.A. Times report, the Flaming Lips are set to follow-up their life- (and death)-affirming LP Embryonic with a full-album redo of Pink Floyd's gazillion-selling 1973 psych-rock classic Dark Side of the Moon.
The Lips version of Dark Side is a collaboration with the band Stardeath and White Dwarfs (which includes Wayne Coyne's nephew Dennis Coyne as a member), and features guest spots from Henry Rollins and Peaches. It will most probably be an iTunes-only release.
The announcement was made last night during a Q&A session with fans at a MySpace show last night at L.A.'s Nike/Ricardo Montalb?n Theater. (Check out photos from the gig after the jump and in the photobook here.)
Other tidbits revealed: While Embryonic was the final album of the Flaming Lips' current contract with Warner Bros., they plan on sticking with the label for future releases. Continued...

Really looking forward to this. There's a live performance of "Eclipse" floating around somewhere.

BTW, their new album is phenomenal.

It'll be interesting, that's for sure.

As long as they get the amazing vocalist from "Great Gig in the Sky," it'll be all good.
