"Do You Realize" You're a Prick?

Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne calls out The Arcade Fire

HeaveMedia actually has a secret agenda: We will only consider ourselves successful when we are able to set up golden-belt boxing matches between uber-indie rock stars and reap the benefits and live the glorious life of nerd-rock fighting promoters. 

It won't be long, it seems, if Wayne Coyne (of The Flaming Lips) keeps at his current clip.  He royally let loose on The Arcade Fire during a Rolling Stone interview recently, referring to them as pompous, saying they treat everyone around them like shit, and giving them an overall morality ass-kicking.  Our favorite quote, "They're pricks, so fuck 'em."

This isn't the first time, either.  In the past he's laid into Beck, The Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Razorlight, and Duffy.  Either he's completely off his rocker or the only one who really gives a damn and is willing to say something in music.

Wayne Coyne vs. Win Butler?  I'm picturing that scene in The Wrestler involving the staple gun.  I'll set this up and we can let them duke it out in my backyard if Emily Haines plays Marisa Tomei's part.
