The Flaming Lips & Literary Porn

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen talks with Wayne Coyne, the mastermind behind the Flaming Lips, about a near-death experience. Nicholson Baker reads from his newest novel House of Holes, which is about sex and pretty much nothing but sex. And the filmmaker-actress-writer-artist Miranda July adds a new item to her c.v.: fortune telling. She tries her hand at psychic readings for our listeners.
