Next week Oklahoma’s finest THE FLAMING LIPS will release ‘With A Little Help From My Fwends’, their take on the Beatles 1967 classic ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’. Recruiting the help of some very special friends, including Miley Cyrus, Moby, My Morning Jacket, J. Mascis, Dr. Dog, Phantogram, Tegan and Sara, Grace Potter, and many others, the album is a typically bonkers Lips affair.

It’s pointless and half-baked, as it always is when this lot cover other people’s material. After some great work this band jumped the shark a few years ago. Although they seem to see themselves as a much loved and innovative institution.
