Uand people like me who own thousands of albums have never even heard of Wayne Coyne. 

I know virtually nothing about contemporary music but if you own thousands of albums and The Soft Bulletin isn't one of them, I'd say that's really unfortunate and you're definitely missing out on one of the best albums made in the last 20 years. And if you haven't heard of The Soft Bulletin, I don't think you're in much position to even comment, quite honestly. At least Wayne Coyne was familiar with Brian Wilson.  So you know, he's got that on you.

Saw a FLips show last year and it was by far the loudest, freakiest gig I ever saw.  An acid trip on stage, I must say a lot of work went into it.   Another Wayne Coyne obsession is, well, uh, the female reproductive organ.  It gets, shall we say, a lot of exposure in the video background to their shows. 

Well, I saw them this year, and yes, they enter into the stage literally from a vagina. One of the best gigs of my life. But at the same time, WC is really humble and hard working, yes -as someone else said- he and the rest of the band helps with the setting of the stage and instruments before the show.

I think he was dissapointed by Brian's current beign and didn't mind saying it. Obviously, Peter Buck was way more tolerant.

What is it with hipsters and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer? Smiley
Maybe it's another hipster reference.  Have you seen Blue Velvet?  "Heineken?  f*** that sh*t!  Pabst. Blue. Ribbon!"

PBR is cheap and tastes good. I don't know why more subcultures don't drink it.

I agree with half of the first statement. Cheesy

And the second half would make a killer punchline if PBR ever needs a television ad campaign. Picture someone cracking open a can of PBR, taking a few good swigs of the beer, letting out that "aaahhhhh...." noise, and delivering that line on cue. It could be the next "I'm lovin it!" viral ad catchphrase.

Me and my friends were trying to figure that one out a couple days ago as well. Grin What is it about PBR that makes it so popular with them?
Because it's cheap, and we can save our money for thrift store treasures.

It's funny because I found out I was a hipster when someone took a picture of my band at this bar before we played, and there were like 30 cans of PBR at the table.  Really embarrassing.

 LOL

Here, on the shores of England-land (or maybe just SE London), hipster beer is Red Stripe. It tastes like arse, but comes in an vaguely aesthetically pleasing can. Mystery solved  Grin

That's not too bad, unless a gang of dudes rode up to the gig on Vespa scooters. Smiley

You can get a 32 ounce bottle of PBR for just over 2 dollars. If you can find one that costs less per ounce that doesnt taste like brewed urine I'd like to hear it.

I'm going back a few years, keep in mind...but in the early 90's the best, most cost-effective way to fuel up for band practices, sessions, and shows (etc...) was the malt liquor. The easiest to drink was called Haffenreffer Private Stock, and the kind we'd buy came in 64 oz bottles...yes, 64 oz...for a few dollars. It actually tasted somewhat good. The worst: Crazy Horse. That was bad. Private stock in 64's was decent, and it had a ring on the neck of the bottle so you could grip it better.

Best beer around here, 2011, for the money? Yuengling Lager, and it's actually much more crisp and fresh in the cans. That is actually a good drinking lager that won't break the bank.

In Boston, circa 1997-98, there was a natural foods type of store called Bread And Circus which had a great beer selection. I'd buy 6-packs of Brooklyn IPA (a beer which I love) for around 5 dollars, and as it was high alcohol content, a few of those would do the job quite nice, thank you. And the taste couldn't be beat. I'll still drink that, Brooklyn is a good brewery.

Best deal ever? 16 oz bottles of either Knickerbocker or Brewski, cases ran just over 12 bucks. And it was decent beer.

PBR, Budweiser, Keystone, Natty Light, etc? I'm not into them even if the price is good. Headache in a bottle (or can). Cheesy

I think it is cool that the Flaming Lips did a whole cover album of pink floyd's dark side of the moon.

I find beer in general to be pretty nasty...whiskey sours do the trick for me.

Do you think someone held a gun to his head when he signed that one?

I still find it hilarious that the biggest hippie dope in the music industry took offense when Brian acted a bit dopey.

Wayne has sucked since Soft Bulletin.  Totally disappeared into his own schtick.  

His constant chatter charmed me at first but it does get a tad wearying after a while, especially at live shows and when he's banging out on about drugs/drug culture in interviews.

*However* the last couple of Flaming Lips albums (At War With the Mystics and Embryonic) have absolutely floored me, so I have no criticisms from a creative point of view. It might be the case that there continued excellence is more down to Steven Drozd but I'm prepared to give the benefit of the doubt.
