How Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips Uses Twitter

When asked about Twitter as a tool for musicians on Wednesday afternoon in Memphis, Flaming Lips singer Wayne Coyne delved into the ways that he uses the service.

"My Twitter I think is a lot like me," he told reporters. "It's sometimes utterly ridiculous. But I never use it to make fun of people."

He said he doesn't think that social media takes away from music. "I think when music is good, it makes you interested in someone's Twitter," he said, while admitting that he's trying to be better about only being interested in people for their art.

The questions came from reporters before his band embarked on a 24-hour tour as part of the O Music Awards.
