The Flaming Lips performed “Will You Return/When You Come Down,” with an assist from artist/musician/Willie Nelson’s son, J. Micah Nelson, on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Monday, April 26th.

As Jimmy Kimmel noted, the performance was taped at the first venue the Flaming Lips ever played, the Blue Note in the band’s hometown of Oklahoma City. Set up in front of hanging plastic shields (perhaps partly for Covid-19 safety reasons, although they did add a shimmering looking-glass feel to the visuals), the Flaming Lips moved effortlessly through the swooning psychedelic cut, with Nelson perfectly recreating the guitar solo he played on the recorded version of the tune.

“Will You Return/When You Come Down” appears on the Flaming Lips’ most recent album, “American Head”, which was released last September. The band recently performed the album in its entirety at a special space bubble show in Oklahoma City on April 20th. The Lips began playing space bubble shows last year, taking a classic element of Coyne’s stage show — the big bubble he used to roll over crowds — and bringing them into the audience as a way to keep people safe while playing live during the pandemic.

Hello love, I’m a television star. I late-night-debuted on the boob tube. Of course, life is funny. You don’t get to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live! when you’re healthy. You get to play on Jimmy Kimmel Live! when you’re midway through a nine day spell of near-nonstop hiccups, when you’ve got a brutal cough/cold and nearly no voice at all. I did a lot of my go-to “lay on the floor and get mindful AF” thing that day.

In the end, things went pretty great and I can’t believe how lucky we were that we got to go down to Hollywood and do that. Everyone who works at Jimmy Kimmel Live! was just incredible to work with – kind, professional and easy. The culture of any organization flows from the top down, so it’s a credit to Jimmy himself for running such a quality ship. This is my fifth album. I worked with some incredible people who have made many of my favorite albums. It was an important lesson in minimalism, and while their consolidated stamp on the album is vast, it’s a credit to their creative generosity that the result feels more like ‘me’ than ever.

Thrilled to announce more shows in Europe this autumn! Including a show at the absolutely stunning Union Chapel in London – one of the most magical concert venues in the world. And what’s more is that Murray A Lightburn will be supporting some of the shows. His work in The Dears was powerful and informative to me as a young songwriter,

Last week I released the fourth song in a series of cover songs I’ve recorded – it’s John Hiatt’s “Have A Little Faith In Me”. When I was a kid, I’d hear this song waiting at the dentist’s office. Or waiting to get a hair cut. I imagined that there was an entire genre of music from the past that was just there to help people wait for appointments. A few years ago, I was asked to pitch a version of it for a TV show and, in the process of learning it and listening a few times, I was struck at how sweet it is. It’s the kind of earnest I might have scoffed at in my youth, but in the present, the sentiment is working for me.

I also recently released a cover of Lauryn Hill’s Ex-Factor. As I wrote on Instagram at the time of release: “One of the best choruses since George Harrison’s ‘Something’. Lauryn Hill is an unfathomable talent, and as such, I tried to find my own angle into the song as there’s no hope in imitating her power.”
