Part of my responses are always playing up for anyone who might read them, but you’ve been far and away my favorite rock critic for so goddamned long now that I just hope you know that everything I say, critical or not, is out of deepest respect and admiration.
FLAMING LIPS SOFT BULLETIN FULL ALBUM SKIN
( Ouch! I’m just keeding!)įirst off, I know you don’t have thin skin (with the kinds of reviews you write, I imagine it’s got to at least be pretty calloused over by now), but I just want to say that I enjoy it more when we disagree. We may even have spent more time on this endeavor than the band spent honing any of these tunes. Whichever side you take, you’ve got to grant that by the end of all of this, I’ve done my damnedest to articulate the issues I have with the album-something a few skeptics said I failed to do the first time-while Brendan has done his best to defend and champion it. īrendan’s response to my initial review follows then comes my response to his response, and then his response to my response to his response. You can read more of his ramblings on his new blog Waited A Light Year. He lives in Chicago with his fiancée Michelle. And because the Flaming Lips are that important, I thought it was worth expanding on our discussion and sharing it here.įor the record, here is Brendan’s official bio: Brendan Diamond is a musician, blogger, and former future rock critic whose insane love of psychedelic music led him to write a dissertation on the relationship between music and memory. Within an hour of me posting my review of The Terror last week, Brendan had responded in the comments section of this blog, and the back-and-forth we began there and on Twitter was revelatory because of two wildly divergent but equally passionate views on the latest from one of the most important bands of our generation. And I can think of very few folks besides Brendan Diamond who have cared as much about the Flaming Lips for as long as I have. Criticism is at its best when it’s a spirited dialogue between two people who care passionately about the art.
