Rock band The Flaming Lips are literally blowing up in 2020, using inflatable human-sized bubbles to defend themselves and fans against COVID-19 while finding a way to play live.

Wayne Coyne, lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the U.S. band the Flaming Lips performs during the 2015 Cumbre Tajin music festival in Papantla, Mexico, Friday, March 20, 2015. It's unclear whether The Flaming Lips are using jelly -- or vaseline, for that matter -- at their concerts these days. The rock band is, however, trying plastic bubbles.

"I did a little drawing... where I drew a picture of The Flaming Lips doing a show in 2019. And I'm the only person in the space bubble, and everybody else is just normal," Coyne told CNN during a phone interview on Friday. "Then The Flaming Lips playing a show in 2020. The exact same scenario, but I'm in a bubble, and so is everybody else.

"Since May, the desire to see the live music has just gotten, you know, more, more amplified," he told CNN, noting that fans interested in test-driving the experience were asked to arrive at The Criterion between 6:30 and 7 p.m. ET.With a couple hundred fans floating about, The Flaming Lips performed a dance remix of "Assassins of Youth" and "Brother Eye," a pair of tracks from their latest LP, "American Head.

Woman woken up by lobster plant fire 'knew what it was' before seeing flamesFlames from a fire at a lobster pound used by Indigenous fishers in Nova Scotia were so intense, they woke up a nearby resident who filmed the devastation from the steps of her home. Tells you something about how this kind of violence is basically expected whenever Native people try to exercise their rights even the slightest bit. It's just property? Isn't that what radical socialists say? The world should intervene and impose sanctions on Canada until First Nations rights and freedoms have been restored. (sarcasm)
