Well aside from a few exceptions, most everyone in the industry had to work to get there, and getting to that point takes incredible talent (and luck of course). I'm sure the vast majority of pop stars had a pretty extensive background in performing prior to "making it big".
Also I never would have recognized him now that he doesn't have the dreads.

I used to have to drive 30 minutes in each direction to buy vinyl, which I sure is the only thing that has kept me from spending entire paychecks on new albums. Now the Barnes & Noble next to my job started carrying vinyl. Fuck
The Flaming Lips' Sargent Pepper cover album might be the worst album I have ever listened to
I think that's a bit much. It's certainly not great, but hardly the worst album ever...
The music is actually pretty cool at times, it's the vox that generally ruin the songs for me. Also I just think that the album didn't really need to be made. It just wasn't interesting at all. Maybe would've worked better as a one-off show or something.
I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's one of my favorite albums thus far this year, but I can see why people are so turned off by it with the harshness of some of the noise. Their entire approach to the album reminds me quite a bit of the Heady Fwends album. I talked to one person who said he loved the original sgt. peppers album but hated the lips version as it was "just a bunch of random noise," and all I can think is that's exactly what happens in "a day in the life." I feel like all the weird shit they did with it is a continuation of the weird shit the Beatles had begun to do, and they have an advantage that the Beatles didn't have in that the lips can actually perform this stuff live.

Haven't had the opportunity to give it a listen yet. But I have unfortunately heard nothing but negative opinions about it until this post. Definitely going to have to give it a listen soon. Didn't even realize it hit spotify until this morning.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

I'm constantly perplexed/upset that often an album can be ordered cheaper from Amazon than the band itself. I always assumed Amazon had better pricing on items due to bulk (Wal-Mart theory) but how does Amazon sell them cheaper than the band/company that should have more of them?

I've heard mixed things....mostly about it being super weird.
It is. First listen and I like it A LOT.
It was way too disjointed for me. It seemed like if they cut down the "Fweinds" list by about half it would of been a much better album. Every time they hit a groove I was enjoying suddenly everything would change and some other person or band was doing the next verse. Some songs felt like 3-4 covers edited into one song.

Amazon is probably willing to take less per sale, betting they will make up for it in volume.

People have been lining up for hours for the Giant's victory parade at noon, in the rain. SF's population -- less than 900K -- could triple today. I should stay in my office and work, ignoring the parade that's two blocks away. But by that same logic, I shouldn't be checking Inforoo 10 times/day from the office, much less keeping a homeless woman chained in my basement.

Yes, but just barely. Their profit margin is about 1% overall.

I feel like I am to old for the thoughts I am having. Last night one of my buddies was celebrating his birthday, we was at the bars for awhile and ended up spending a decent amount of money. Tonight one of my buddies from my study abroad trip is coming back to our college town for the weekend, wants to go to the bars tonight. All I am thinking about is how much money I will spend and what time I can ditch. I don't feel like spending a lot of money and dealing with a hangover two days in a row. I have exams Monday and Tuesday and next week.
It seems like I am a lot more care-free in the summer.
