Flaming Lips: Arcade Fire is a Fugly Slut

This shit is all over those really hip music blogs (like dis one, or dis one). Warning: only proceed if you're interested in The Flaming Lips and Arcade Fire (and if you're not, you can just block this webaddress permanently because I don't want your tasteless, mainstream eyes on my writing again [jkjk lul! {sort of}]).

About 5 and a 1/2 hours ago, as I write this, Rolling Stone's Smoking Section blog broke open some new high-school music drama. And no, I'm not talking about High School the Musical... sorry (maybe more on Vanessa Hudgens later).

*of age*

This time, RS quoted a private phone conversation with Wayne Coyne, leader of The Flaming Lips, where he says 1) the Arcade Fire are a bunch of pompous pricks, 2) they don't deserve the credit they get, and 3) they treat their fans like shit. And he drops in some big 'ol "fuck you"s in there for fun.

Within hours, Win Butler, leader of Arcade Fire, responded on his website with a i'm-going-to-be-more-mature-about-this response, citing that Wayne only met the band once and how Wayne is wont to put his foot in his mouth after criticizing other artists (see Wayne's 2oo3 opinion of Verve, Beck, and Radiohead).

So who wins?

I think no one. Because this is dumb. I can't wait for when i'm famous and Perez hilton is quoted on a private phone conversation saying i'm a prick. I can't wait to write that response! WOOT

FYI i hate perezhilton. i will try to never mention his name again. don't go to his site. he's an idiot.

i am much less of an idiot. obviously. just look at the design of this website. only a genius could... i digress.
