Knowing how much Wayne Coyne loves to please, I guess this story isn't that much of a surrpise. Initial reports of an all-request The Flaming Lips set at this year's Pitchfork Music Festival ended up being false, but it turns out that the band has decided to go along with it anyway and will start fielding requests from ticket buyers. Here's the official press statement:
...due to popular demand, The Flaming Lips will play selected requests
from fans in the "Write the Night" format. All ticket buyers, including
those who have already purchased, will be sent a link via email and
have the chance to vote on requests, which the band will do their best
to accommodate.
“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.”
-- Wayne Coyne
