Knife attack

The Flaming Lips' new US-only single will feature a new track called 'Thank You Jack White (For The Fiber-Optic Jesus That You Gave Me)'. Two questions. Firstly, do rock musicians routinely give each other gifts? And secondly, what's wrong with writing a simple and private thank you letter, Wayne?

Oh, and the EP will also feature a cover of 'Knives Out' by some British beat combo called Radiohead.
