Music History Highlight - It was on this day in 1965 that not one, but two members of The Flaming Lips were born: vocalist Wayne Coyne and bassist Michael Ivins. To commemorate the day, I played one of the less-often heard tracks (but one of my favorite Lips tunes) from The Soft Bulletin: "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate."
