Coyne covers Spin
On the heels of the Flaming Lips' newest studio album release, "Embryonic," Spin rock magazine hangs out with the Oklahoma City band and its frontman Wayne Coyne for its November cover story.
Says Coyne of his band's 26-year trek, "I know if I'm going to give it my energy
and time, we're going to climb the mountain. We may get to the top of the mountain, discover it's a ... volcano, and fall in, but whatever it is we're trying to do, we're going to be able to do it."
The full article is available in the November issue of Spin, on newsstands now. The cover's Spin flag and cover headlines are also hand-lettered by Coyne. A poster of his art is also included inside the issue.
PLUS! The magazine will give away the Calvin Klein suit worn by Coyne in the November issue of the magazine. It's an "elegant Calvin Klein suit complete with psychedelic pink paint splatters," wrote the mag. It was worn during the cover shoot.
Coyne will choose the winner from applicants. For more info, go to

'Drop It Low,' says Ester Dean
A Muskogee native who now lives in L.A., Ester Dean recently released her first solo single to rave reviews.
"Drop It Low" is the official third single from the release of the Lebron James documentary soundtrack for "More Than a Game."
The video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who also directed Chris Brown's "Forever" video. (And Kahn has worked with practically everyone: Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears, Courtney Love, Muse, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, U2 and the Chemical Brothers to name a few.)
Brown makes an prominent appearance in this video, too (look for cameos from Nelly, Keri Hilson, Teyana Taylor, Omarion, Soulja Boy Tell 'Em and Rich Boy, among others).
Dean gets so many cameos because she's a powerhouse songwriter — she's written for The Pussycat Dolls, Ciara and Chris Brown, to name a few. See the video at

Cancellations
Blue October’s Nov. 18 Tulsa tour stop has been canceled, the venue and band publicist
have confirmed.
For refund information, please visit the official Cain’s Ballroom Web site, tulsaworld.
com/Cains.
The “Pick Up the Phone Tour” has been canceled because of the hospitalization of
Blue October frontman Justin Furstenfeld of the tour’s headlining band.
Furstenfeld, also the spokesman for the tour, said he is being treated for an extreme
mental anxiety attack. His doctors ordered the tour — which was committed to reducing
the stigma associated with mental health, depression and suicide — be canceled to
allow for his recovery, he said in a statement e-mailed to the Tulsa World.
The tour was established to benefit suicide prevention and was created through a
partnership between the nonprofit organizations To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA),
Postsecret.com, Synclive.com, and 1-800-SUICIDE — The National Hopeline Network.
Ticket refunds will be available from the point of purchase for each date and venue.
The Nov. 12 Plies hip-hop concert at Cain’s Ballroom has also been canceled. No
reason was given by tour management. Ticket refunds will be available from the point of
purchase for each date and venue, or visit tulsaworld.com/Cains for more details.
