Just keep it to yourself for now. OK?""
"Drozd joined the Flaming Lips in 1991 and has been a key member of the experimental psych-rock group ever since. Although he and Coyne have formed several side projects together in the past, Drozd has never parted ways with or taken a break from the band in those 34 years."
