The Flaming Lips...

interesting perspective, Naive Teen Idol

My only takeaway from that Kliph apology -- people still by records?

*shriek*

I was there last night. It was not good. The rest of the show, however, was spectacular.

Is the arrangement different than the one they did w Sean Lennon a month or so ago? There's no way I am watching that.

Many years ago they did "Can't get you out of my head" with Beth Orton.

It was interesting.

That I'd like to hear/see.

In other news, I just listened to Heady Fwends for the first time and "Ashes in the Air" is fucking awesome.

US rockers The Flaming Lips are to release their own version the Beatles' Sgt Pepper album in October

The track-for-track tribute will be named With A Little Help From My Fwends, frontman Wayne Coyne told Rolling Stone magazine.

It will feature collaborations with singers such as Miley Cyrus and Moby.

"Fwends" fucking hell lad, sort it out

disgusting

He looks really fucking creepy these days.

starting to wonder if that Virgin Mobile ad he did was an acknowledgment that he's actually slowly turning into Richard Branson

uh this "Fwends" shit. Coming right after him slandering his ex-drummer from his perch in RS is just another layer of gross. He really sounds like every hippie asshole who has done so many drugs they think their own shit doesn't stink (but don't mind judging others as 'hateful').

Was there a precise moment where Wayne Coyne became a dickhead or did it happen really slowly

It's been pretty fast. There was him bad-mouthing the Arcade Fire and stuff like that, but he really seemed to lose goodwill when he left his wife and was purportedly seen macking on young fans.

One thing I like about Coyne's version of this scandal is that everyone was stupid but him: Scurlock, Fallin, the other members of Pink Pony, the protesters, people who were offended by his bold use of imagination, etc.. They're all idiots who either don't know how to use social media or are oversensitive or are misrepresenting his lack of ideology or making him responsible for the actions of a famous Instagram dog, etc.

And then the rest of his band doesn't care as long as they keep getting those fat paychecks.

I'd love to hear Drozd and Wayne talk to each other.

Struggling to think of someone i used to like who rubs me up the wrong way to such an extent as this guy

kliph's account of the firing struck a huge blow against my admiration of Coyne, but what killed it was going to his Twitter account and reading through all these tweets about sex parties with stoned 20yrold girls.

Yeah I had to unfollow him and the official Lips twitter about 18 months to 2 years ago when they both started making me feel super gross.

I'd love to hear Drozd and Wayne talk to each other.

i felt bad for dude when that last album came out and Coyne told the press that Drozd had been suicidal when they made it and Drozd had to clarify in interviews that he totally wasn't and seemed really burnt out about doing things like "that fucking 24-hour song"

Wow I'm guessing COS lost some formatting with their redesign, that's really annoying to read with no distinguishing between the author's questions and Drozd's actual responses.

It's all a bit rich coming from someone who managed to lock down Oklahoma airport by trying to pass through security with a grenade in his suitcase. I mean, how fucking stupid is it possible to get?

Yup, really.

fwiw i've always assumed people in bands as famous as the flaming lips do shit like that all the time. rock stars do some weird shit.

https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q=wayne%20coyne&src=typd

the miley fan base hate for wayne is getting even more hateful than the hate wayne was getting last week

wow people are really mad that "made Miley into an LSD addict"

woah

thank you for that

holy shit!

c'mon guys LSD is maybe a couple times a year type thing

"LEAVE MILEY ALONE!"

kliph needs to emerge and lead the cult of miley

i think some part of me forgot that miley actually has a huge teenage fanbase and doesn't just exist in this weird internet vaccuum

Okay, it's not like Miley didn't have previous "form" regarding drugs, but...

also i don't have much of an opinion on wanye coyne in general but "the terror" is pretty fucking good! just listening to it know for the first time.

Coyne's probably reading half of this stuff thinking "oh my god, you're just a bunch of fucking hater punks, y'all should use social media properly"

no such thing as bad publicity #allI'mSayin

don henley meets dan snyder

Well, not gonna take it.

Re the 'shit don't stink' thing..

I remember an interview about 2 years ago where he described his white suit and how he never washes it on tour but it's ok because even though he sweats loads apparently does not smell at all.

O RLLY?

he's a fruitarian
