Nel frattempo mi sono finalmente ricordato di fare l'ordine per Funeral dal sempre ottimo Play.
Era già un pò di tempo che non ascoltavo gli schifidi mp3...tanto ora me lo compro mi dicevo...(2 anni sono passati )

Botta e risposta fra Coyne dei Flaming Lips e Win Butler degli Arcade Fire

coyne a rollingstone: "We've played some shows with them and they really treat people like shit," he said. "Whenever I've been around them, I've found that they not only treated their crew like shit, they treated the audience like shit. They treated everybody in their vicinity like shit. I thought, 'Who do they think they are?'"

Win Butler sul suo sito:

Wow, I can't believe I am actually writing to defend my bands "real" personality. I wish I could not respond to something like this, but the reality is is that people will be asking me questions about it for the next 5 years. I also fear that people will base their opinion of our band on the media quotes of a guy who doesn't even know us.

The only time we have ever shared a stage with the Flaming Lips was our last show on the Funeral tour at a festival in Las Vegas (over 3 years ago)...we arrived the morning of the show from Brazil, slept all day and awoke into some kind of surreal Vegas jet-lag dream in which we were playing after the Flaming Lips...how strange...I was really excited to meet Wayne. Clouds Taste Metallic was a huge record for me, and growing up in the weirdness of Houston, I always imagined Oklahoma City to be in the same universe. I was really nervous to meet him and I felt a little weird that we were playing after them. We traded a little hello, but he was a hard guy to get a read on. Steven Drodz was super nice, and I felt good after talking to him...

So...I am not sure Wayne is the best judge (based on seeing us play at a couple of festivals) if we are righteous, kind and goodhearted people like The Edge and Justin Timberlake (who I am sure he knows intimately as well). I can't imagine a reason why we would have been pompous towards The Flaming Lips, a band we have always loved, on that particular night, all those years ago. Unless I was way more jet-lagged then I remember, I hope I was less of a "prick" then telling Rollingstone that a bunch of people I don't know at all are really assholes.

As a closing note, the main point that I am offended by in this whole thing is for Wayne to say we treat our audience like shit...

At times like these I am comforted by knowing that even though Wayne slammed Beck all those years ago, he seems like a really nice guy to me. I guess everyone has a different idea of what being pompous means.

io Coyne non l'ho conosciuto, ma posso dire di aver visto poche persone avere la pazienza di Win Butler a fine concerto.
Forse quella di Coyne è invidia insomma

[absent friend]

i video su youtube poi dimostrano il contrario..sembra una band molto calorosa.

più di così...

Dispiace leggere parole simili dette Coyne, soprattutto se come ha scritto poi Butler hanno suonato insieme solo una volta. Ovvio che traspare dell'invidia in queste parole, che poi non ha senso da parte di una band come i Flaming Lips...

[After The Flood]

Mah a parte tutto gli Arcade Fire li preferisco di gran lunga ai Flaming Lips, anche perché anche se sono stati un gran gruppo non riesco mai ad ascoltare un loro disco per intero.

[oppholdsvaer]

io ho amato Flaming Lips e gli Arcade Fire, seppure abbiano scritto due disconi, ancora devono guadagnare quella stima.
pare che Coyne abbia rivolto esattamente le stesse parole a Beck per cui credo si possano prendere con relativa leggerezza.

[Sobieskiego 7/6]

i Flaming Lips sono dei grandi ma non li facevo cosi' facili a sparare merda sui colleghi simili, perche' sia arcade fire che certe cose di beck sono per lo stesso tipo di ascoltatore dei FL quindi anche secondo me è invidia finissima
