FLAMING LIPS/STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS' "Dark Side Of The Moon"

As most of you know by now The Flaming Lips and fellow OKC band Stardeath and White Dwarfs teamed up last year to rehearse, record and perform together live on New Years Eve their version of Pink Floyd's 1973 classic "Dark Side Of The Moon". Last saturday Warner Brothers released it on LP (vinyl as the hipsters say) for record store day. This was released on mp3 in December, but to me that doesn't really count, as I don't do mp3s (yet...I'm actually thinking about getting an mp3 player to listen to radio shows and such)....anyway I got my copy and I plan on playing the whole thing on the radio this sunday April 25th along with a stereo version of The Flaming Lips 1997 classic Zaireeka. I will have my buddy Nate Higgins for added insight and commentary, as he was there to see this all go down in OKC new years eve! This show will not be podcast because this album was just released, and I don't want to just hand it over to ya. Just thought you guys might want to hear it, as I think it is a great version of an old classic! If you live outside the listening area you can check it out via: http://www.kxua.com/ or http://www.kxua.uark.edu/ as always Plastic Magic airs live on sunday evening from 6-8pm CST from Fayetteville, AR
