It's rumoured that The Flaming Lips will take on The Stone Roses debut album as their next challenge - covering it in full.

According to The Future Heart (via Pitchfork) Wayne Coyne and his friend have been posting hints about the project online.

The frontman posted a picture on Instagram with the caption: "Doin vocals for She bangs The Drum hopin to get Channy [Leaneagh] of Polica to sing on it too!!!!" 

Meanwhile, The Flaming Lips are going to release a new compilation album on a USB stick encased in an anatomically correct chocolate heart.

It's released for Valentine's Day.

Two years ago the band released a Gummy Song Skull EP - which was a seven-pound skull made of the same stuff as gummy bears with a gummy brain.
