Ooh, Fwends!… Fwends! Football Flaming Lips Fwends!
Now before we get into what this post is actually all about, we couldn’t help sneaking in a totally unrelated although totally necessary Inbetweeners reference, especially after watching the trailer for the upcoming new film, which looks all kinds of amazing… “If anyone plays the bongos I’m leaving”
And while we can’t be sure if there will be any bongos on the new Flaming Lips Sgt. Pepper’s tribute album - With a Little Help From My Fwends, what we can confirm thanks to Wayne Coyne’s Instagram is the tracklisting and star studded special guest features for the new record which is set to drop in late Oct.
Just in case you need an easier to read version -
1. My Morning Jacket, Fever The Ghost, J Mascis – “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”
2. The Flaming Lips, Black Pus, The Autumn Defense – “With A Little Help From My Friends”
3. Miley Cyrus, Moby, The Flaming Lips – “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds”
4. Dr. Dog and Chuck Inglish – “Getting Better”
5. Electric WÜrms – “Fixing A Hole”
6. Phantogram, Juliana Barwick – “She’s Leaving Home”
7. The Flaming Lips, Maynard James Keenan, Sunbears – “Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!”

Wowsers! That’s a pretty darn impressive (albeit all over the shop) lineup, couple that with the killer artwork and on paper this thing looks pretty special. Here’s hoping the audio component matches up!
