Another chance to hear Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips discussing his key musical moments and songs that shaped his life and career with Matt Everitt. First broadcast in 2012.

Coyne was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and formed the band in 1983 with brother Mark and Michael Ivins.

They've since released thirteen studio albums and their incendiary live shows are the stuff of legend, Wayne normally making his entrance onstage inside a bubble and floating across the audience.

Wayne talks about his musical childhood and youth growing up in Oklahoma, his seminal experience seeing The Who in 77, finding fame with The Flaming Lips, and the battles with drugs that the band has had to deal with, alongside his philosophies about psychedelics, his love of (and working with) Yoko Ono, the genius of Pink Floyd and his ideas about the inclusive nature of music.
