Kliph wasn't fired for calling Wayne out on his midlife crisis b.s. (although if anyone in that band had the nuts to bring it up to Wayne, it would be Kliph!) He was fired for taking a stand against Wayne's new buddy - the daughter of OK's tea-bagging, homophobe governor Mary Fallin - when she donned a Native headdress for a racist publicity stunt. When Kliph called her out on social media for being a shithead to the Oklahoma Native community who complained about her headdress publicity stunt, she tattled on him to Wayne. Wayne actually told Kliph he was fired for insulting Fallin publicly. On a kinda-related note, word from Wayne's inner circle is that he was so geeked about getting an invite to Governor Teabagger's mansion for a party with a bunch of 20-something Republican hipster wannabes (friends of the Gov's daughter) that he was practically begging his band mates to go with, an invite that everyone else in the band felt was pretty lame and to which everyone else declined. Not Wayne tho. He and Fallin are pretty tight...he recently posted an even more offensive picture of his dog wearing an authentic looking Native headdress in response to the Oklahoma Native community's backlash against Fallin for her headdress stunt. No one in the band dares speak out on this one bc they have families to support and Wayne has bogarted all the Flaming Lips earnings and keeps them all on a pretty short financial leash. He is like the innocent little boy in Citizen Kane that just eventually went bad...it just happens to some people. He is now a full fledged, desperate-for-attention, shameless, tasteless fool. Who is smack dab in the midst of a midlife crisis...his glittery makeup is something his 20-year old girlfriend makes him do!! Hahahahaha!!!!
Personally, I feel Kliph ha's moved on to bigger and better things...
Like just about everything else New Wayne Coyne does in life, he obviously posted this for the shock value, attention, and to hide the fact that he’s a 53-year-old sellout who’s best years are way behind him. -Person who wrote the article. Didn't bother reading the byline
Tone sincere also I would never troll or purposefully be antagonistic or anything on something serious.

His recent publicity stunts are pretty obnoxious. The obvious album covers, the collaborations with Miley Cyrus/Ke$ha, the glorification of any and all drugs... I guess it shouldn't really affect anything, but it probably does internally. Kliph is a cool guy, mostly because his favorite band is Super Furry Animals. That's something that'll earn anyone my loyalty.
the main thing i remember about the flamng lops is that the wayne coin did that interview where he said pet souds sucked and that the arcade fire guy wasnt very cool

Wayne also brought a grenade into an airport, didn't he?
Anyways the Lips have become one of the most nauseatingly cynical bands on the scene. Everything since Yoshimi has been calculated whimsy for Mastercard ads. The fact that Wayne's a douche is only just icing on the cake.
And can heteros stop using "twink" as an insult plz, makes you sound so dumb
And I feel like this year is really about, just the year of realizing stuff.

to be fair embryonic and the terror aren't very commercial albums
Embryonic is awesome. The band has pretty much lost the plot otherwise.
