Wayne Coyne Rescinds Arcade Fire Apology A few months ago he tore the group a new asshole, then backtracked. Now: "I know what I said was absolutely the truth. I run into people virtually everywhere we play and they're like, 'Wayne, you're the only one that says anything.'" So he's a hero. (Via 24Bit.)

I'm bored with the Flaming Fire Feud. If they started trash talking each others' music, it might be interesting, but they respect each other as musicians, so who cares if one doesn't like the other as a person? Most of the music I like is made by total assholes anyway.

Wayne Coyne is a total asshole and his music sucks. Take away those gimmicky concerts and what are you left with? Another mediocre, overated indie band. The whole idea of artists dissing other artists is so lame. Leave that to us!

Hey, that's how I would describe Arcade Fire.

Yes, but what are Diddy and Hype Williams thoughts on the matter?

This guy is like the indie rock version of Trent Reznor. Always pissing and moaning about some other band or artist. Seriously, shut the hell up. I'm pretty sure a solid 50% of the music I own was recorded by total dickheads. I don't care. I don't have to hang out with them. And neither does Wayne Coyne.
