New Flaming Lips tracks inside a jelly skull

Well I suppose it was inevitable music would progress from vinyl to cassette, through CDs and MP3s to USB sticks inside a massive gummy sweet in the design of a skull – well that is exactly the line of thinking the Flaming Lips follow anyway.



The band, whose lead singer Wayne Coyne took to a huge hamster ball to run around festival crowds last summer, like using their imagination. And given they are one of the ultimate feel good acts around – and as it's so sunny outside – we are going to base Now Playing @6Music around the Oklahoma band this evening.



Give us your suggestions – it may be your favourite Flaming Lips track, it may be another act from Oklahoma, someone they have collaborated with like The Chemical Brothers, a band who have been inspired by them or influenced them in the beginning – its up to you.
