Wayne Coyne

Nah, that was great.

Someone said that your address has Wayne Coyne.

That's pretty good.

And we're back after that quick break.

But, no, I mean, I will say, like, for example, we just talked about Karen Don't Be Sad.

She went to the B stage saying Karen Don't Be Sad with Wayne Coyne, which was so cool.

Like, very cool.

She obviously – they're, like, family at this point.

huh

yeah yeah no i and i think again that was just like a miley choice of what that's what she wanted

And we have to remember that Wayne Coyne came out at the end with the big flower or the big balloons that said, fuck yeah, Hollywood Bowl, calling back to the Milky Milky Milk Tour.

Yes.

Speak now or forever hold your peace.

You know who else sings high and I love is Wayne Coyne from Flamingos.

Oh, yeah, Wayne Coyne from Flamingos.

Yeah, yeah.

Many singers that do

Then she did Walk of Fame.

She also brought out Wayne Coyne from the Flaming Lips and I feel super bad.

I feel like I usually pride myself in knowing like who the random people that get brought out are because I have a music podcast and I feel like I know a thing or two about music.

I did not know who this man was, but Wayne Coyne, he's of the Flaming Lips.

I felt super embarrassed and it seemed like I wasn't the only one because they did the Flaming Lips song, Do You Realize? And they performed this on the B stage.

And then they did the song, Karen, Don't Be Sad, which was from one of Miley's albums.

And she had put out the song with Wayne Coyne at the time.

So people weren't really singing along much this part, especially because it was on the B stage and no one knew, or like a lot of people didn't know who that was.

She also did two songs from her 2025 album, Something Beautiful, which didn't yield any huge, huge hits for her.

And she even did a song from her Miley Cyrus' Dead Pets album from... 12 years ago with Wayne Coyne from Flaming Lips.

He came out, which is exciting that he was there, but that's half the set list, is her last two albums and this one random internet-only Dead Pets record she made as kind of a lark.

So why did...

And she had some incredible guests on stage with her.

Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips showed up, the band model-slash-actress joined in, and on drums for part of the night was her fiancé Max Miranda.

Hold on.

Max Miranda on drums at the Hollywood Bowl? That is a pretty cool flex for a relationship moment.

My God.

So my theory here is that, uh, Do You Realize? drove Wayne Coyne crazy.

He-

I could see that

... indie rock, like, in the pocket drum grooves.

It's my fa- and the, the production's always so good.

[upbeat rock music] Fuck Wayne Coyne.

We are Team Drozd on the Two Chins Podcast.

And variety called the first one of her first major concerts in four years.

And the setlist includes Karen Donvisette performing with Wayne Coyne himself.

I'm going off setlist reports, and I couldn't find a thorough recap of that specific moment, but let me explain.

Calm Don't Be Sad is the second track on Miley Cyrus and their deadpats, the psychedelic album she put in August 2015 with the flaming lips.

Wayne Coyne co-wrote the song with Miley, and then made Steven Trostler, and the whole album is full of his influence.

One reviewer at the time noted that he co-wrote 11 of his 23 tracks.

The song is a gentle ballad, 4 minutes and 52 seconds, and fans and critics often compare its sweeping, soaring feel to the Flaming Lips classic, Do You Realize?, It's basically about comforting someone who's been beaten down, telling her not to let the fools win.

The First Night also had their tribute to Dolly Parton, which we covered before in the previous episode.

Really? They're-

Wayne Coyne.

Filter.

Yep.
