Is Wayne Coyne actually writing her stuff now? Seems its almost 100% Flaming Lips.

I think they're writing big chunks of it, but if so the credit / blame will probably lie with Steve Drozd.

Away, of course she would suit Glastonbury, the festival has got to have that hint of madness, there's got to be some diversity in the line up and hey, why not Miley

I'm not championing her music in fact I know next to none of it, you don't need to watch her, but if she played the pyramid maybe 3rd/4th down, I guarantee you thousands would

 

They would is she was a sub. I don't think she'd accept anything lower, she's pretty huge and if you think Shakira there is no size comparison. Even with Robert Plant, he got a 3rd space because of Led Zep, his own solo stuff with this new band is easily forgettable. Bigger than any act 3rd in the last two years.

I hope we're not commending this? Outrageously bad!

Not a great way of putting it, especially considering her attitude towards mental illness.

 

I don’t disagree in the sense that she is a bit different and more interesting than most major mainstream pop stars that could potentially be booked, though I find her zaniness quite contrived and often just plain offensive, rather than endearing. A bit like Wayne Coyne.

 

She’s got some good songs, and I echo the sentiments of appreciating the unusual topics of her new stuff, but beyond that there’s not much I actually like about them, from what I’ve heard.

Dooo It is pretty bad, but here's a couple of really nice cuts from the new album that show the Flaming Lips' influence and should show you skeptics that there's a lot to like here.

Not for me to be honest. But then I'd just go watch something else.

I'd watch Miley Cyrus as a sub.

 

It would likely be terrible with potential of awesome.

[Tuna]

Party in the USA is an excellent pop song. Based on that and the current conversation, I think I'll give her new album a go.

It is but I won't lie, The Lips are of no interest to me. Just not my thing. I'm not really been into a lot of Glasto Other headers shall be say and in the past, they are identically what would be chosen.

Me too, she sells enough to headline. I actually see her in a similar position to Taylor in that regard but I think she maybe has more than Taylor did. I certainly think Taylor has grown with people this year.

[Festival Liam]

huh?

 

 

 

 

Apologies, I meant she plays Can't be Tamed, but not See You Again. 

[rawaudioinput]

I think under her Dead Petz moniker she could probably sub the Other stage; I read that her Bangerz tour sold pretty poorly in the UK and this change in sound will in all certainty lead to a nosedive in popularity

 

I'm sure that she'd draw a crowd far smaller than Mark Ronson

[dentalplan]

Has it been intimated that this album will be toured or anything? I mean her record company, having nothing to do with this album, will be pretty keen on her doing another album for them and whoever does her tours will be happier with her doing her regular set to her regular crowds rather than her weird experimental album to a probably smaller crowd.

 

I think people have made this leap on their own that Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (the album title) would be the touring moniker that may or may not play Glastonbury and, after all, it'd be in a very Flaming Lips fashion to do a full album apart from anything and then move on completely from it like nothing happened. I could only see it being a permanent career move if she took some advice on career suicide from mutual Lips' pals MGMT.

[Chris_Hayter88]

How is this woman even famous? So much for her saying she was quitting the music industry ..

I'll drink to that the day she does.

[Padgey]

I'm sensing this is going to be the equivalent of the 2015 Taylor Swift thread!

[mungo57]

taken a glance at this thread and I can only think 'please god no'.

Turgid tuneless shite and only famous cos she swung naked on a wrecking ball.......... don't understand it myself.

she was famous long before then. have you not heard of Hannah Montana?

[Untz]

It's probably a mixture of people wanting The Flaming Lips, it making the most sense release date wise (at the moment) for her to perform and that particular album "fitting" Glastonbury more than her previous stuff.

 

I can see her getting a good crowd regardless of what she's playing just based on her name and antics alone, and she's sure to be broadcast by the BBC, but then June is a long time away so who knows.

[FloorFiller]

if she did play i imagine it'd be pretty heavy on the new album - on her last tour she played her then-current album Bangerz in it's entirety, with a bunch of covers thrown in and only two of her older songs. she seems to want to distance herself from all the Hannah Montana/America's sweetheart stuff as much as possible

 

this probably won't end up happening because yeah, June seems a long way away and the story will probably end up being bollocks, but she'd be an interesting booking that's for sure, and i'd definitely go see her

Miley Cyrus is perfect for Glastonbury. I'll go into further detail once I'm out of my Festival No 6 hangover.

[rubenz]

Watched the bangerz tour on mtv over the weekend. The stage show is pretty entertaining (riding a giant hotdog over the crowd etc) and she is a good singer but some of the music was a bit ropey

[GlastoAwe]

I can't comment too much on her music, I've not been keen on what I have heard and I've never been much a fan of some of the drama I've read about her, but I did like this .....http://m.noisey.vice.com/en_uk/blog/10-life-changing-miley-cyrus-quotes-about-boobs-from-this-six-minute-interview-clip?utm_source=idfbukI personally would go if she played, but I imagine thousands would. I love it when they announce a big mainstream act, I like the extra space you get elsewhere on site!

[bamber]

I for one am loving this.
