The Flaming Lips...

I'm 41 and agree 45+ is "really old"

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.

isnt this m/l the only reason why anyone pursues a career in rockstardom

@waynecoyne I hope you get so fucked up on LDS that you end up falling out a window and then shot by an angry mob

Pretty sure that tweet was meant for Mitt Romney.

I didn't feel old at 41 but it was 44 where I started to really feel it....not physically, just like, seeing the end for the first time as a very real thing. Have fun!

All the creepy people on twitter just need to pretend to be a teenage girl and they can get away with saying anything about pop stars.

you should try that

i leave that to the dave the bricklayers of the world

lol

also i don't have much of an opinion on wanye coyne in general but

Damn your eyes now this is how I'm going to pronounce his last name for the rest of my life :/

lol

Oh wait weird I totally read it as being Conye

Kanye West

Wanye Coyne

Exactly

Wanye Conye sounds like a good s/n

Coyne for President 2012

Bitcoyne

Wanye Manor

I love how 50 is "really old" to these folks.

“But they’re real musicians – they can change keys on a whim. I’ve never seen anything like it."

this is just spectacular

I'd like to think MC's banks of programmed safety backups feature all her songs in several different keys, so that on a moment's notice her band knows which version to queue up.

"OK, we're doing 'Wrecking Ball."

"In D minor?"

"No, let's shake it up a bit tonight. Follow my lead, boys!"

lol the flaming lips

Countdown to Wayne involvement in...

I knew we knew about this but seriously this is just the most horrible thing to read:

"Flaming Lips Finalize Sgt. Pepper Tribute With Miley Cyrus, My Morning Jacket, MGMT, Foxygen, More"

Finalize, like a finality suggesting no one will ever be able to listen to those songs without thinking of Wayne Coyne's spacejizz all over it

Last couple of albums have been great, but Wayne Coyne both personally and professionally has made it easier than ever this past year or so to never want to see or hear his band ever again.

Why so, Josh?

Seriously? Oh, maybe you misread "personally" as me personally. No, I just meant him as a person and him as a music professional. That headdress thing, rumors of his groupie hunting, all the silly stunts, musical or otherwise, the very notion that he has even covered both "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Sgt. Pepper." Etc. It's all kind of like your favorite Looney Tunes characters being voiced by new, not quite right actors.

didn't beck shit out one of these a month for a while

Beck did them as free live-in-studio videos, not ltd-edn expensive LPs

sucker

the Oar one is really good imo

Recall the drummer of the Oar one is that rad session guy who played with Bill Withers, etc.

James Gadson?

I've not really followed Coyne enough to detect anything to dislike about him as a person, Josh, so was intrigued - thought I might have missed something major.

I don't give a toss what WC's personality is like; I just wanted to kick the band in the face after I heard Yoshimi.

djh - Coyne also pulled a really shitty stunt with the video that featured Erykah Badu and her sister naked, he released the video without her permission and tried to justify it with a really shitty "apology" that just made the whole thing worse.

And then there was his friendship with the right wing OK gov's daughter and his totally shitty defense of her appropriation of Native American tradition in the most asshole of fashions (in every sense). And then the totally shitty way he fired their drummer.
