Wayne Coyne chats about Christmas on Mars, Yoshimi on Broadway and the future of the Flaming Lips

Ear Candy took a brief break from all the musical happenings during Day 2 of Sasquatch! and stepped on to the Flaming Lips’ tour bus to chat with lead Flaming Lip Wayne Coyne.

I’ve wanted to interview Wayne since my first experience seeing the Flaming Lips live, which was at Sasquatch! in 2003., so it is fitting that this interview took place at the same venue during the same event. We chatted about the future of the Lips. Yoshimi on Broadway and, of course, “Christmas On Mars” which made its public debut at Sasquatch!

Below is my interview with Coyne. The third voice that occasionally pipes in is my close friend Brian Kerin who snapped some photos to document the occasion.
