For gambling purposes, I had a deep fried Mars bar yesterday.

Although I am aware it's shorn a good decade or so off my life-expectancy, I'd just like to state for the record that it was magnificent.

My God. My God, it was magnificent.

I've come to you guys, 'cause I just don't know where else to turn.

Wayne Coyne just called Win Butler an arsehole. I can't even describe how conflicted this makes me.

I mean, for you guys, it would be like being forced to pick a side between a really big gun and... uh.... another really big gun.

My poor heart. First it has to deal with the battered Mars Bar, now this.

Turncoat · 04-03-2009 10:00PM

Have a pocket rocket, it should make you feel better. I am having one right now while mourning the fact that I had to sell all my AEG's because I will be gone for a while.

Cheers - To my unconquered G&G

So long as Sarah Neufeld hasn't been included in the mud slinging, I don't care. As soon as she's implicated in any derogatory remarks, you'll see me get very defensive.

Besides, Wayne's all talk. I wouldn't listen to his guff. I'm sure Win will just call around and either beat the crap out of him or challenge him to a game of table tennis.

God bless you Dex. God bless you.

Honestly, if it wasn't Wayne Coyne I wouldn't care at all. I always liked the guy. But I've been talking to a few people since this whole thing, and it turns out that he is a well-established twat. So that's resolved then, I know which side I'm on.

It's just a shame that Arcade Fire - who I can honestly say are some of the nicest damn people in the music industry - are now going to have this hanging around them from here to eternity because everybody sees Coyne as a cuddly loveable hippy. And they're an introverted bunch, I can't imagine them wanting to fight their case publicly. I'd say at most there'll be a slightly wounded blog post hidden on their website, and maybe a letter from Will Butler to Rolling Stone, and other than that, Arcade Fire will be forever known as the band that the Flaming Lips said are arseholes.

Anyway, just remember - I'd mafia vouch for Arcade Fire's niceness, they've snuck ticketless friends of mine into their own shows and anybody I've ever known to meet them only ever had good things to say. And you guys know me slightly better than Wayne Coyne, so take my word over his.

NakedDex · 04-03-2009 10:54PM

So what you're saying is, you can get me access to Sarah Neufeld...?

They won't drag that stuff through anything, and Coyne's little entourage of fickle followers will disperse upon the first bombing of a Flaming Lips track. Their audience has always been rather fleeting in it's appreciation, mainly due to the fact that, as you said, he's a twat and he doesn't know when to shut up.

jill_valentine · 04-03-2009 11:02PM

Clue - Several members of Arcade Fire are on Facebook.

Be nice to them. They're nice.

NakedDex · 04-03-2009 11:21PM

...

There is nothing I wouldn't do for that girl. Fiery, hate-filled temper or not.

Edit: Btw, facebook scares the snot out of me. I haven't a bulls notion how to use it outside the limited version that runs as an iPhone app.

Turncoat · 04-03-2009 11:54PM

Common dex you can't call dibs on every girl you see a pic of. I distinctly recall you calling dibs on that white house security girl with the p90

NakedDex · 04-03-2009 11:59PM

First of all, she's secret service. Second, that was a passing fad brought on by my purchase of a P90. That and watching "In the Line of Fire" the previous night.

I don't call dibs on every girl. Just the ones with amazing attributes, like Sarah's manic violin playing, Kari Byron's knowledge of physics, welding and blowing things up and Kpl Holm's access to CB92 extreme-littoral ships.
Besides, it's nothing new. I've had a thing for Sarah Neufeld since seeing her at Rock en Seine in '06.

jill_valentine · 04-03-2009 11:59PM

Ever heard her speaking voice Dex?

She sounds exactly like Scarlett Johannson.

Ahhh gotcha..It's a fine distinction.

/swoon

I've never seen them play in Ireland. I hope to heck they come back for another date or two, preferably indoor.

Turncoat · 05-03-2009 12:07AM

Dex when I was talking to you in the shop once. you told me that you had played airsoft abroad in different places. Do you know any sites in Massachusetts, I can't find any info on the web.

Ummm, Dex and Jill, who are these people you're swooning over, and why do we care exactly?

NakedDex · 05-03-2009 12:19AM

I never played in the US, something I'll have to rectify next year.

Oz, the two protagonists are members of the band Arcade Fire. You don't necessarily have to care, but it's the off topic thread so unusual banter such as my swooning over an angel with a violin and Jills lust for a wispy haired vocalist shouldn't come as a shock.

Wayne Coyne -

is the lead singer with fluffy loveable hippies, The Flaming Lips.

Win Butler -

is the lead singer of outstanding super-indie-warriors, The Arcade Fire.

Wayne says Win and friends are arseholes.

Win Butler is my superhero, the guy is not only unbelievably good at what he does, he's a spectacularly sound dude to boot. He is, however, famously media shy and unlikely to ever openly refute the accusation of arseholery that's been levelled at him.

This makes me sad. He's a really, really nice guy, and he does very cool things for his fans, but Coyne's cuddly image means people take his word as gospel.

Sarah Neufeld is Arcade Fire's decidedly foxy violinist.

Everybody likes Sarah. She's a great violinist.

Also, she wears tiny short-shorts on stage.

NakedDex · 05-03-2009 12:36AM

Three comments about those pictures.

Coyne.
Why does he look like Andrea Bocelli in that picture? People only think he's cuddly because he dresses like a bum despite being filthy rich. It's fun to dress poor when you're not...

Butler.
That man looks so nervous/awkward in that picture. I always feel bad when I see him in pictures he has been accosted for.

Neufeld.
Just. F***ing. Wow.

Masada · 05-03-2009 12:49AM

Dex... Yore a strange man.....

NakedDex · 05-03-2009 12:58AM

You've known me for how long and this has only occurred to you now?

jill_valentine · 05-03-2009 02:07AM

P90's, Violins, it's a natural spectrum. With that in mind, I'll make sure never to spill her pint.

She also played a Xylophone for the benefit of Obama's staff ball, so I guess technically she's a multi-instrumentalist.

Predictably, Win responded with a classy little post in his blog. But oh, I'll never love the Flaming Lips ever again.

Fun fact: Keep The Car Running turns me into an Airsoft psychopath. It's like what Ride of the Valkyries is to helicopters. I am a biodegradable hail of doom to that song.

OzCam · 05-03-2009 11:18AM

Swoon away. I just had no idea who you were on about.

Is Mr Butler standing on a box, or are the girls standing in a hole in that photo?

PS: for a real multi-instumentalist check out Sheila Escovedo. Good enough to play drums for Prince, and if you can hit it, she can play it. And the Purple Poser himself can play 20 or so IIRC.

TheDoc · 05-03-2009 11:29AM

Well packed and off to rome.

Multicam backpack for the win, fit all my clothes and **** into it snug

And Masda just about nearly caused me a disaster.

NakedDex · 05-03-2009 11:35AM

Oh? What did Mazda do now?
