We are still out in the beautiful state of Washington and need to give you an update on all the fun that is going on at the Sasquatch Festival. On Sunday we discovered a new acoustic tent where we had the opportunity to catch some of the bands playing the larger stages in an intimate stripped down setting. The chance to catch Flogging Molly or Fitz and the Tantrums with just 50 other people, dancing arm in arm, was something rather spectacular. But for its 10th year, who wouldn’t expect anything but the best.

Okay so not everyone is totally jazzed about The Flaming Lips reworking Pink Floyds’s legendary Dark Side Of The Moon. The band, who first performed the album back in 2003 at the Bonnaroo festival and have plans to revive their Floyd homage at this year’s Bonnaroo in June, have actually encountered some backlash regarding the tribute.
A report by wenn.com says that after performing Dark Side Of The Moon in its entirety during a hometown show in Oklahoma on New Year’s Eve, the band was hit by a ton of angry comments from annoyed Pink Floyd purists.

Hopefully if you’re a Flaming Lips fan you will be in or near LA later this week, because in honor of their new studio album release Embryonic, they will be playing a MySpace Music Secret Show in Hollywood, CA, on Thursday, October 15 for their MySpace friends and fans! That’s right, see one of the craziest bands live at the intimate Nike Theater.
Tickets for the event will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis at The Nike Theater in Hollywood, CA, on October 15 from Noon until Midnight. Additional tickets will be available at Amoeba records with purchase of the Embryonic CD on street date, October 13. Sadly, ticket holders are not guaranteed seating so make sure you show up to the event early! Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and will close at capacity. I’m guessing you should be there by noon at the latest. Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll meet plenty of fun people while waiting in line.

Check out The Flaming Lips new two minute song “I Can Be A Frog” with a hot girl in a bikini dancing around like a mad woman pretending to be all the things he’s singing about. I for one am on the fence about this video. Some people are calling it “pure imagination” and others “pointless.” I get that The Flaming Lips create work that inspires you to use your imagination, but if I have to use it in order to create somethine that’s not there, than it is in fact pointless.
Check out the video below and decide for yourself…
