We want to try to live through our music as we create it instead of it being a collection of the last couple years of our lives.” Once we get 11 or 12 songs together, maybe we’ll do something else with it. “I think we’re going to just start to do things and put it out. “Not that I think the old way was boring, but to spend another two years with the same 13 songs, it’s just like fuck,” Coyne says.

The band has released 13 studio albums since 1986 - most recently Embryonic and a full reinterpretation of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, both of which came out in 2009. It’s gonna be, ‘We’re working on a song and it’s gonna be up by Friday.’ We just want to some other way.”

We’ll try to release a song a month and document the song in the making, whether it takes us three or five days or a week. “With this new thing, we’re going to spend a lot of time recording at our houses or wherever we are at. “We’ll start in late January, though I’m not sure if we’ll get together exactly by then,” Coyne says, adding that the band will convene in Oklahoma with longtime producer Dave Fridmann. But the band has even more ambitious plans for 2011: Frontman Wayne Coyne tells Rolling Stone that the band will hit the studio soon and plans to release new songs every month, while filming the entire process. In 2011, the band announced plans to release new songs in every month of the year, with the entire process filmed.On New Year’s Eve, the Flaming Lips will play their 1999 psychedelic classic The Soft Bulletin in its entirety at Oklahoma City’s Cox Convention Center. On December 22, 2009, the Flaming Lips released a remake of the 1973 Pink Floyd album The Dark Side Of The Moon. On Octothe group released their latest studio album, titled Embryonic. By 2007, the group garnered three Grammy Awards, including two for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. In February 2007, they were nominated for a 2007 BRIT Award in the “Best International Act” category. They have had more hit singles in the UK and Europe than in the U.S. Although it has been their only hit single in the U.S., the band has maintained critical respect and, to a lesser extent, commercial viability through albums such as 1999’s The Soft Bulletin (which was NME magazine’s Album of the Year) and 2002’s Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. After signing to Warner Brothers, they scored a hit in 1993 with “She Don’t Use Jelly”. The group recorded several albums and EPs on an indie label, Restless, in the 1980s and early 1990s. In 2002, Q magazine named The Flaming Lips one of the “50 Bands to See Before You Die”. They are also acclaimed for their elaborate live shows, which feature costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex stage light configurations, giant hands, large amounts of confetti, and frontman Wayne Coyne’s signature man-sized plastic bubble, in which he traverses the audience. Melodically, their sound contains lush, multi-layered, psychedelic rock arrangements, but lyrically their compositions show elements of space rock, including unusual song and album titles-such as “Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus with Needles”, “Free Radicals (A Hallucination of the Christmas Skeleton Pleading with a Suicide Bomber)” and “Yeah, I Know It’s a Drag… But Wastin’ Pigs Is Still Radical”. The Flaming Lips are an American rock band, formed in Norman, Oklahoma in 1983.
