Originally conceived for a New Year's Eve show, the Flaming Lips and guests Peaches and Henry Rollins cover the Pink Floyd classic. You might divine then why Floyd appeals to the Flaming Lips right now. I count at least five of those things on that list that could be lobbed (fairly or un-) at the Lips after 27 years; being hated by Johnny Rotten is the only one (probably) beyond their reach. And their appreciation runs deep- in an interview with Pitchfork's Ryan Dombal, Wayne Coyne remembered goofing on Jesus and Mary Chain fans by covering "Wish You Were Here", when the bands toured together in 1984
artists and what they gave back. They performed this version of Dark Side of the Moon at their 2010 New Year’s Eve celebration, capping a triumphant 2009 that included the release of their Embryonic. While the Lips recorded that album on their own, it’s still easy to hear how this album is symbiotic with Embryonic. The same wildness permeates these songs, giving them a feel that’s more primal than the original’s polished reflections.
The Flaming Lips were joined by Stardeath and White Dwarfs, a psych-rock band from their hometown of Norman, Okla. Henry Rollins (who did the spoken-word passages) and Peaches (who sang "The Great Gig in the Sky"). Poor Man's Whiskey, 'Dark Side of the Moonshine' (2009). Hailing from Northern California, Poor Man's Whiskey have been mixing bluegrass with a Southern rock/jam-band approach since the early '00s. Their complete-album cover of The Dark Side of the Moon was paired with a second disc of originals. Various Artists, 'Doom Side of the Moon' (2017). Metal seemed to be the only genre that hadn't done its own Dark Side tribute. That was definitively resolved when Sword guitarist Kyle Shutt spearheaded Doom Side of the Moon. The idea came to me after getting baked and wanting to hear a heavy version of 'Time,'" Shutt said.
This song is by The Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs, features Henry Rollins and Peaches and appears on the album The Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs with Henry Rollins and Peaches Doing The Dark Side of the Moon (2009). This song is a cover of "Breathe" by Pink Floyd
The Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs with Henry Rollins and Peaches Doing The Dark Side of the Moon is, quite literally, a Flaming Lips adaptation of the classic 1973 album, and enlists some big names like Rollins, Peaches, and fellow Oklahoma space-cadets Stardeath and White Dwarfs to help make it happen. The biggest problem with Dark Side is just how little of a Flaming Lips album it is. Even at their most experimental, the band has maintained a certain sense of charm, but none of that really carries over into the record; it all just sounds too serious. If nothing else, this experiment of a project at least shows us just how much Do You Realize? sounds like Time.
In which cosmic lovers of space-rock go the whole hog with a high-risk reinvention of Pink Floyd’s totemic opus, helped by Henry Rollins (for the spoken-word bits) and Peaches (the wailing on an ear-bleeding Great Gig in the Sky). It starts promisingly: Speak to Me/Breathe, with howling guitars reminiscent of Live at Pompeii’s Echoes, is the best version Floyd never recorded; On the Run is a fine freak-rock boogie. From there it’s decidedly inessential - a stinking Money sounds like a stoned child on an ’80s Casio keyboard. Warner Bros; out Mon).
