The Flaming Lips just released a cover album of Dark Side of the Moon.  Theirs is a very cool take on the classic 1973 Pink Floyd album.  In addition to the Lips’ hard rock and heavy, psychedelic guitar style that you might expect after Embryonic, the songs feature vocals from Henry Rollins and Peaches.  Stardeath and White Dwarfs also join the team to contribute to the cover album as they add their own distinctive sound giving the album even more of a rock edge.  Hopefully, this new version will synch up with The Wizard of Oz just like the original…
