Weekend reading: Flaming Lips, Chris Martin, Disturbed


Posted at 4:40 pm

Wow, lots of articles and interviews this week are worth checking out.

I'm not going to waste time with a long intro. Here's the links worth scoping out:

  • As a kid, the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne thought the Who's laser show might cut off his fingers, we find out in this little Q&A with RollingStone.com.


  • Chris Martin makes a funny at Hillary Clinton's expense in this Q&A with Blender.


  • The metal group Disturbed like yellow ribbons, I'd guess, based on this LA Times story.


  • MGMT are booze-proof, we find out in New York magazine.


  • Hey! It's Ben Folds! Where the hell has he been? Germany? Oh, OK. Cool!


  • PitchforkMedia.com has been running lots of articles about Sub Pop, what with the labels 20th anniversary show coming up this weekend. Here's a lengthy interview with founders Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman.


  • Is it just me, or is this story on Beck in the NY Times sort of boring? (You may have to register with the site to access the copy.)


  • And hey, speaking of the NY Times, this music reviewer, in the last paragraph of this review, nails what Robin Pecknold (of Seattle's Fleet Foxes) sounds like.
