Nova Scotia’s Guthries are back in the UK for the second time this year supporting their phenomenally acclaimed self-titled new album. We caught up with Ruth, Gabe and Serge and talked to them about what they’d been up to since we spoke last year, the new direction of the latest album, being on a UK label and the state of world affairs at the moment.

Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne

Peter Bate originally interviewed frontman of the legendary Flaming Lips in June for the August edition of “Making Music” magazine. Unfortunately, like so many excellent publications this year, it’s now passed on - which means we’re able to exclusively publish this interview for the first time. Coyne talks about the new record, mortality and, of course, Kylie. Our grateful thanks to Peter for allowing us to run this.    Updated  Saturday, November 30, 2002
