Alfie are the tour supports for the next The Flaming Lips tour. Woohoo! Anything to increase popularity of prog-rock and soft-pop I'm going to love.

Hearing Ween songs played in public formats (Best Buy, coffee houses [Starbucks!?!], radio) gives me a warm fuzzy feeling in my boognish.

Now I must google Alfie.

I enjoy liking things that everyone hates, because then I can feel all righteously indignant, like a victimized apostate sticking up for the Holy Word under fire. But I have issues.

i'm not sure if i find the fact that someone can get excited about alfie supporting the flaming lips depressing or uplifting.

and there was me thinking Alfie were just a 'poor man's Charlatans' (not meant as THAT derogatory actually)

A band that everyone hates is already big, or they wouldn't have hated it. :-)

As for a band I love that nobody knows that does something that might make them big, I guess Cotton Mather supporting Oasis is one excellent example here. Too bad Oasis were on such a downhill turn that there was no attention for their support act at all, because Cotton Mather would have deserved the attention.
