Music Weekly: The Flaming Lips

Hello listeners, and a happy Friday to you all. We kick off this edition of Music Weekly with Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne. The irrepressible singer was in London for a series of shows, but found time to tell Rosie Swash what makes a brilliant live show and why Do You Realize? was voted Oklahoma's official rock song.

Singles Club sees Rosie pit Solange Knowles's cover of Dirty Projectors' Stillness Is the Move (with a bit of Dr Dre thrown in) against Rebecca Nicholson's choice of Lykke Li's Possibility (penned exclusively for the Twilight Saga film, New Moon) and Alex Needham's nomination of Hot Chip's new single, Take It In.

Furthermore, Paul MacInnes might be circling over Las Vegas in a helicopter this week, but before he left he managed to grab a chat with Scottish folksters Frightened Rabbit. Band members Scott and Gordon dish the dirt on their experiences of America, and treat us to a version of Swim Until You Can't See Land.

All that, and Dafydd Goff returns to the Feature With No Name to recall the talents of blues and jazz-influenced power trio Morphine.

Ta dah! That's it for now. You can befriend us on Facebook if you so wish, or simply tell us what you thought of this week's show in the comments section below.
