The Flaming Lips Enlist My Morning Jacket, Foxygen, MGMT, J Mascis, Miley Cyrus for Sgt. Pepper Tribute

On October 28, the Flaming Lips will release With a Little Help From My Fwends, a full-album cover of the Beatles' 1967 classic Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Now, Wayne Coyne has shared a tracklist on Instagram that features a few previously confirmed contributors and a handful of brand new ones.

Take a deep breath: From the looks of it, the album will feature Miley Cyrus, My Morning Jacket, J Mascis, Dr. Dog, Cool Kids' Chuck Inglish, Phantogram, Julianna Barwick, Tool/Perfect Circle/Puscifer singer Maynard James Keenan, Tegan and Sara, Moby, Foxygen, MGMT, Black Pus (aka Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale), Morgan Delt, Wilco side project the Autumn Defense, Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd's side project Electric Würms, Grace Potter, and more. (It has not been confirmed that this is the complete and final tracklist.)

As Coyne wrote on Instagram: "Yessssss!! Lots of great stuff !!!!!!!! Wow!!!! It's really gonna happen!!!!!". Notably, Cyrus will guest on the epic album closer "A Day in the Life", while Mascis and My Morning Jacket will play the title track opener. The Lips/Miley version of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" is out now.

Proceeds from sales of With a Little Help From My Fwends will go to the Bella Foundation, an organization in the band's Oklahoma City hometown that helps low income, elderly, or terminally ill pet owners with the cost of veterinary care.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
