Wayne Coyne - 6 Music Festive Takeover

WAYNE COYNE - 6 MUSIC FESTIVE TAKEOVER (320kbs-m4a/255mb/1hr51mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 25th December 2023

He's sung about Christmas at the Zoo, covered White Christmas and even starred as alien Santa in the movie Christmas on Mars, so who could be better qualified than Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne to take control of 6 Music's Festive Takeover?

Along the way we can expect music from the likes, of Marvin Gaye, Yoko Ono, Nell, Miley Cyrus and David Bowie, plus stories from across The Flaming Lips 40 years at the heart of the indie music scene.

Produced by Paul Sheehan.
