Flaming Lips Flip Flop

The Flaming Lips have changed their mind and decided they will participate with the "Write The Night" fan requested setlist during their appearance at this year's Pitchfork Music Festival. This is exciting news, primarily amongst music critics filled with glee at the idea of Wayne Coyne picking up a guitar and rocking out to the oldies that most new Lips followers would be less familiar with. After denying early reports that their setlist would be chosen by popular vote, Coyne said tday “The Lips are more than glad to be part of ‘Write the Night’. They will do their best to accommodate the wildest and most obscure of requests - covers included.”

If you wanna see them do it though, you better act fast. Three days tickets are already sold out and one and two day passes are disappearing quickly.
