We like rock music more than you. It's just the way it is…

Are you surprised that the Flaming Lips would already have plans set for next year’s Record Store Day? It really shouldn’t be all that shocking. Especially since this is the band that released a six-hour song and is planning on releasing a 24-hour song.

Billboard spoke to Wayne Coyne who said that the band is creating a compilation featuring collaborations with artists they’ve already worked with including Neon Indian, Lightning Bolt and Prefuse 73. But what’s more interesting are the upcoming collabs the band is readying.

The Flaming Lips are planning to work with bands and artists including Death Cab for Cutie, Ghostland Observatory, Cloudland Canyon and Nick Cave. There are also plans to work on material with Lykke Li and Ke$ha. Coyne said, “I am bound to the agreements we have with the other artists because we’re doing all of this as limited editions. They’re trusting us not just to sound cool but handle the music with special care.”

Record Store Day 2012 is on April 21st next year.
