Wayne Coyne Sez: "Vote or Be Taken Over by Robots"
Sure beats Diddy's "Vote or Die"

Attention citizens of Oklahoma's District 46! Are you ready to go to war with the mystics? How about the Republicans?

Andrew Rice wants to be your State Senator. The Democratic candidate has a wife named Apple and a brother who was killed on 9/11, and he's worked to solve health issues in developing countries. He's "running on a platform of social progressivism (constitutional & privacy rights, separation of church & state, and personal liberty free of government intrusion) and fiscal discipline (balancing the budget and working for a more efficient use of tax revenue)."

He's been endorsed by the Oklahoma AFL-CIO, the Oklahoma Chapter of the Sierra Club...and Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips. See, Wayne doesn't only care about Martians and animal costumes. He cares about politics too!

On Thursday, October 12, Coyne will appear at a Rice for Senate voter registration bash taking place from 8 to 10 p.m. at Raffine Interiors on Film Row, in downtown Oklahoma City. The event is free for those aged 18 to 21, and costs 10 bucks for everyone older than that.

It's not clear what, exactly, Wayne will be doing at the event, although "music, food, and drink" are promised. Perhaps he'll announce that Christmas on Mars will only be released if Rice is elected.

In non-political Flaming Lips news, the band will re-release their latest album, At War With the Mystics, as a two-disc CD/DVD set on October 24, as previously reported. And after a performance at the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans in October, they'll head overseas for a UK tour.

11-04 Brighton, England - Brighton Centre
11-05 Bournemouth, England - International Centre
