Who knows what the Flaming Lips will get up to at Maida Vale next Thursday with Steve Lamacq – but one for is for sure, you lot will pick some incredible tracks for us and the Ultimate Flaming Lips Playlist for this Sunday’s show.
Wayne Coyne will also be on with Shaun ahead of the big gig in North West London which thousands of you have applied to be at – and so surely you have a few thoughts on tracks which we can use to fill two hours between 6-8pm.
There are few bands who go to quite such extreme lengths to be different, creative and innovative – and so frankly if there’s two tracks next to each other in this playlist which sound the same we’ve failed.
You could go for:
* Your most cherished Flaming Lips track
* Bands who’ve inspired them like the Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis and psychedelic
* People Coyne has collaborated with like Danger Mouse, David Lynch or The Chemical Brothers
* Acts who go to extreme lengths to release their music – the Lips have used jelly skulls with USB sticks in!
* Or how about other bands who can claim to have spanned four decades
You choose the music so let us know what you want us to play by commenting on Facebook or here on the blog, Tweet #6MFlamingLips, email us at nowplaying@bbc.co.uk or add a track onto our collaborative Spotify Playlist.
