No, I didn't talk to Dave Grohl at all. He was so busy strutting around and trying to look cool that I'm sure he wouldn't have had time to talk to me even if I so desired.

Bwhahahhahaa.

Kliph, Did it seem weird to be playing for a VH1 show?
Did anyone say "hey Kliph...knocking over that drum set would be rad!" Or did you just get in the moment of it all and want to destroy something?
Very bad ass I must say.

Oh, oh....and was the crowd really as lame as they appeared to be?
Or were they rocking out?

Like I said before, it was Dave Fridmann's idea for me to knock the drums over.

And I was so nervous and focused on the task at hand that I honestly didn't even notice the audience.

I hope you didn't ruin your drum set during that wicked ending at the Rock Honors. If you did, you can send the old kit to me, I'll put it to wonderful use.

On another note, whats your favorite Olympic sport?

The drums are just fine, but thanks for checking.

Favorite olympic sport? I'm not really sure. Whichever one has the most amount of women in it, I reckon.

Are there gonna be any more COM gigs than the ones announced?

No love for California???

I noticed Steve Burns is playing some shows. Does this mean he's finally getting around to the process of releasing/finishing his new album???

I hope so. He played me some stuff a couple of years ago that was amazing. I do know that he and Steven have been working on a children's record that is fucking amazing so far.

Hey Kliph, I haven't been on the board too much lately. I heard SFA has a new album out and I was wondering what you thought. I don't know a damn thing about it. So yeah, whaddya think?

Are you talking about Hey Venus!? That came out almost a year ago. You should go buy it. It's really good.

A New Year's Eve show is 99% certain. It will surely be announced soon, but I'm not going to be the one to do it.

any chance I can help bridge a Lips contact and a local art house contact to screen the movie here in KC?

Of course their sound system will probably fry, but it's worth it to me. The smell will go along nicely with the the movie.

You should send me a PM and I'll see what I can do as far as getting you some info.

Hey Kliph,

I saw you watching Goldfrapp intently from the side stage at Lovebox - what did you think, or were you (like me) just mesmerised by the dancing girls showing off their pants?

She played a couple of songs that I really liked, but I was pretty fascinated by the girls.

The wolf heads didn't really do it for me personally.

How did you feel about the movie A Clockwork Orange?

Band practice will be held on Tuesdays btw

I think some of his stuff is funny.
I like a good chunk of it.
Love it!
I'm busy most Tuesdays. How about the 5th of never?

As a follow up question, do you ever refer to pudding as "Jello"? If you are a reasonable person who reserves the use of "Jello" to denote gelatin products only, will you relay this info to Craig?

No, I call pudding "pudding" and Jello "Jello". Never the twain shall meet. I'll be sure to tell Craig the next time I see him.

Kliph, what do you think of Rob Zombie? Do you like his movies? Music? Have you ever worked with him on anything? Gone to a concert?

All I really know of him is old White Zombie stuff. I'm not much of a fan. I did help them load in when they played the Outhouse in 1992 and they were all really sweet, but, yeah, I don't really dig the music and I haven't kept up with his solo albums or his movies.

Oh and also..what do you think of all The Festivals you play? Have you ever ran into a smelly hippy? Do you like the fact that some folks compare The Flaming Lips to The Grateful Dead?
And refer to it, as the same type of following?
Do you like The Grateful Dead?

Ps. You kick serious Ass Kliph.

Well, each festival is different and some are more enjoyable than others. That being said, I don't enjoy festivals as much as our own shows because we have to set up and start playing so quickly and they don't feel as comfortable and relaxed as when we're doing our own shows. But I do love playing, so I'll take any opportunity I can get. And, yes, I've run into plenty of smelly hippies. And it doesn't bother me when people compare us to the Grateful Dead. I don't see any similarities there (with the exception of the singer having a greying beard), but all that shit is subjective and everybody's going to have their own take on it. And, no, I don't like the Grateful Dead. And thanks for the compliment.

In the vein of The Beatles, Kiss, and Guns N Roses: has the idea of a Flaming Lips pinball machine ever come up? If there are any more bands that need to be immortalized in pinball form, you guys would be at the top of the list.

I don't think it's ever come up. It would be neat, though. Then again, the Beatles, Kiss and Guns N' Roses sold millions of records as opposed to the thousands that the Lips sell.
