Flaming Lips to cover “Dark Side”
Posted October 16, 2009 by Floydian Slip
Oklahoma psych-rockers Flaming Lips’ next album will be a track-for-track “interpretation” of Pink Floyd’s 1973 masterpiece “The Dark Side of the Moon.”
The L.A. Times reports Lips frontman Wayne Coyne (pictured) made the announcement during a Q&A session with the audience before Thursday night’s show at the Ricardo Montalban Theater in Hollywood.
The Times says the recording, which is a collaboration with Stardeath and the White Dwarfs, a band that features Coyne’s nephew, Dennis, is already finished.
Henry Rollins and Peaches make guest appearances.
The Lips’ “Dark Side” will likely be an iTunes-only release, at least initially.

David Gilmour to receive honorary doctorate
Posted October 13, 2009 by Floydian Slip
Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour will receive an honorary Doctor of Arts from the Faculty of Arts, Law and Social Sciences at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge.
He’s being honored for his outstanding contribution to music as a writer, performer and innovator.
The degree will be presented to Gilmour at graduation ceremonies held at the university’s East Road campus in Cambridge at 5 p.m. Nov. 11.
Gilmour attended Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, a part of what is now Anglia Ruskin University.
He still has close ties with the university, most recently supporting the Syd Barrett tribute project The City Wakes from the Cambridge School of Art.
