Flaming Lips lead singer Wayne Coyne is no shrinking violet: he’s donned fake blood and a furry suit onstage, gone full-frontal in a music video, and slammed the Arcade Fire in Rolling Stone. Now images of Coyne’s self-described “drug damaged, artist[ic]” home — a veritable compound in Oklahoma City designed by Fitzsimmons Architects — are making the internet rounds. The bathroom is especially trippy, with a Gaudí-meets-Jetsons vibe, mirrored tile, and one hell of a hallway. (Sorry, no product shots, Vaseline or other.) A Gizmodo commenter imagines that the space is less psychedelic rock band and more “gay fashionista Bond villain,” but we dig the free-wheelin’ vibe.
In other news, older, established musicians are now spending more on fine art than their drug habits.

& btw does that “Website (optional) \ If you have a website, link to it here.” work?

He lives a couple of blocks from me, very low key in a neighborhood that is pretty rough. A great area but it’s seriously gone to seed. Two blocks north of his compound is a thriving new artsy district. just North of that is a very posh older area where most of the houses are almost 100 years old.
His place is pretty cool because it actually consists of several houses that take up one end of the block. No big mansions but you notice that all of the yards join together to create a cool compound. But you would have no clue who lives there.
I’m glad he lives here.
