Flaming Lips to do “Dark Side” at Bonnaroo

Posted February 3, 2010 by Floydian Slip

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.

Change in preview/songlist schedule

Posted February 1, 2010 by Floydian Slip

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.
