Plug Into The Flaming Lips' Drug Machine | The Spindle

WASTOIDS

When you think of Oklahoma band The Flaming Lips, you probably don't think of singles. They're mostly known as an album rock band—and they already had three full-lengths out by the time they released their first 7-inch, part of the nascent Sub Pop Singles Club. 1989's "Drug Machine" b/w "Strychnine/(What's So Funny Bout) Piece Love and Understanding?" shows their early noise-rock prowess, and predilection for weird cover versions—and points to the Lips' strange future as part of the rock mainstream. On this all-new episode of The Spindle, Marc and John dig into it all.
