Jo chats to the Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne about the band鈥檚 unique 'space bubble' gigs.

The band staged a unique pair of gigs in Oklahoma, with both the band and their audience inside individual inflatable balls. Each show accommodated 100 bubbles, holding up to three people each, with the band inside their own capsules.

Inside each bubble was a high frequency supplemental speaker to prevent the sound being muffled, as well as a water bottle, a battery-operated fan, a towel and a "I gotta go pee" sign.

Plus this week鈥檚 Thursday Theme is books, to mark World Book Day. Send all your book-related song suggestions to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk
