Wayne Coyne sure doesn’t censor himself. The Flaming Lips frontman, and inflatable ball crowd surfer, has snubbed 4 of the UK’s top music acts. In an interview with the Daily Star (via AngryApe) Coyne said:
“I’ve never got Arctic Monkeys – they seem too much like a British thing to me. They’re like Oasis whereby Americans can’t really relate to them. Lots of British people like it but not for me, and I don’t like Razorlight or Duffy much either.”
Possibly realizing he came off as an anti-Britite, Coyne clarified his statement by saying some of his best friends are British: “I prefer Radiohead – they deserve to win a Grammy. And I’m still a fan of Amy Winehouse but hope she doesn’t become too much of a drug addict.”
