New Music Express reports The Flaming Lips will perform Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” in its entirety at the Bonnaroo festival in June.
The Oklahoma group recently released a re-recording of the album on iTunes, and performed it live during their New Year’s Eve gig in Oklahoma City.
Bonnaroo takes place in Manchester, Tenn., June 10-13. Tickets go on sale Feb. 9, the same date the festival plans to officially announce its artist lineup.
While the Lips appearance seems to be a sure thing, rumors still circulate that Floyd’s Roger Waters might perform “The Wall” at the festival.
Waters said during interviews spotlighting the 30th anniversary of that seminal Floyd album he’d like to launch a proper tour of “The Wall” in 2010/11.
While his appearance in Tennessee in June is, very likely, just a rumor, we’ll be tuning in next week to see what Bonnaroo has to say.

We’ve made some changes to our posting schedule for our weekly show previews and songlists.
With the recent addition of two more affiliate stations — Radio Universitaria and WRBA 95.9 FM “Arrow 959″ — we’ve adjusted our broadcast week to be Thursdays through Wednesdays.
This means we’ll be posting a preview of each week’s show Thursday mornings, with each show’s songlist posting Monday morning.
As always, you can find both weekly posts here, as well as via email when you subscribe to our mailing list.

Pink Floyd University, a new correspondence course devoted to all things Floydian, has opened its virtual doors.
The project is an evolution of two courses Karl “Pink” Anderson (pictured) taught at Renton Technical College (RTC) in Renton, Wash., 10 years ago.
Anderson, now in Bay City, Ore., has expanded the curriculum to include what he promises will be an exhaustive study of the band and its output contained in 30 modules.
Registration for the course is $125, with each module costing an additional $50. Students receive course materials — including audio material — either via email or snail mail. With a maximum of four weeks to complete each module, students can graduate within 2½ years at a total cost of $1,625.
Anderson used archives from our Floydian Slip radio show to supplement his courses back at RTC. We have no official tie to PFU.
More information is available at the PFU Web site, or email Anderson at redpanda54@embarqmail.com.
