I think Wayne Coyne's a bit too busy making his *own* music to worry about
tracking down the "roots" of electronica so he'll have cool artists to
namecheck during his interviews.  He's a mad genius and he's got his own
thing...  Has anyone seen the recent Flaming Lips shows?  They're
incredible; music synched up to wild visuals with Wayne himself doing his
very own "Gong Show" impressions.  Plus, there's lots of silly string and
fake blood!
