Weekend reading: The Flaming Lips, Pete Seeger and Girl Talk


Posted at 1:38 pm

It’s not quite Graceland, but then Oklahoma isn’t quite Tennessee.

The New York Times went into Wayne Coyne’s house for a Home and Garden piece this week. The Flaming Lips’ singer, who still lives in Oklahoma, lives in a trippy house — pretty much what you would expect from a guy who has written songs titled “Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell” and “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. 2.”

The resulting article, which you can link to below, is worth looking at if only to see the light fixture Coyne has in his kitchen.

Read on, my friends:

  • In a fairly awesome New York Times Home and Garden story, a reporter goes into the home of Wayne Coyne, describing the singer as "one part Dalí, one part Sanford and Son." (You may need to register with the NYT to access this article.)


  • Pete Seeger, at 89, is an apologetic former Communist, we find out in Newsweek.


  • The Streets, aka Mike Skinner, mentions money is kind of imaginary in an interview with the Onion, which is good news for the poor, less so for the rich.


  • If you grab a burger with Neil Diamond around showtime, chances are, you're paying, we find out in Rolling Stone.


  • Girl Talk, who mashes up hundreds of samples on his excellent album "Feed the Animals," is beyond having guilty pleasures, he tells Pitchfork.
