Flaming Lips will now take requests

A while ago, I posted about the Flaming Lips headlining the Pitchfork Music Festival on July 19, in Chicago.

It was initially announced that they would allow fans to vote for a song they would like to see the band play. Then Pitchfork retracted that announcement.

But it seems the Flaming Lips will accept requests after all. I bought my ticket today and voted for "What is the light?" from Soft Bulletin.

Which song would you vote for?

  1. I saw that today and voted as well. You could vote for as many songs as you like, so I checked all of the songs I would like to see which was a lot. I also voted for what is the light too. Some songs like she don't use jelly, yeah yeah yeah, do you realize, and yoshimi I didn't vote for because they always play those songs and I have seen them way to many times.

    The cover thing was kind of cool. It was hard to come up with a song though. I saw them in Philly last year and they played song remains the same and 5 completely naked girls come out and danced on stage during the song. I was right next to the stage, so needless to say it was sweet. I decided to pick one of my all time favorites for the cover, loving cup by the stones.
