Flaming Lips to Release a Song a Month - Possibly on VINYL!

According to an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone, Wayne Coyne explains how he wants to do things differently now. No longer does he want to spend two monotonous years in a studio to release a boring twelve song package. Starting at the end of January, he'd rather hit you with a song a month and document the recording process while he's at it.

Here's the exciting part; he's hinted at doing it on vinyl! Get details and check out a vinyl rip after the jump...


"The dilemma is whether we're going to release it on vinyl, cereal boxes or some of it on toys that we make," Coyne says, explaining that the band is planning on offering additional items to fans at the same time as downloads. "Sometimes, the music is the simplest part of any of these things. We'll be making these little videos that connect in the end to a bigger movie we'll be making next year as well. It sounds like a bunch of fuckin' work, but it's different way of thinking about songs than just holing up."

For the toys that may accompany music, the frontman says, "I've been dealing with a guy who flies to China and Korea six times a year and he's always making these new fantastic looking toys and having companies manufacture them."

In honor of their NYE show, here' a vinyl rip from The Soft Bulletin.


Coyne says he can't wait to play The Soft Bulletin live, and hints the band may play more of its albums live in the future. "It seemed as though we should start with this one and see if anybody gives a shit. People always ask us to do those types of shows. I know in recent shows there hasn't been very much Soft Bulletin live that came out when a lot of our fans were 10 years old."
