The lawsuits also seek removal of the ad campaign images from all Web sites and promotions, including the packaging of a related music CD that was mailed out in some states
Oh yeah. All three of the main Flaming Lips guys struggled to quit smoking.
According to several managers and labels contacted by The Daily Swarm, Camel’s support consists primarily of $1500 licensing fees for tracks included on a promotional CD (supposedly 1 million copies of The Farm CD will be handed out at shows this year)
But talking with Lou earlier this year he said those shows paid bank. If I was in his position I’d probably do it too. I guess as long as Camel keeps throwing money at them they’ll stay on tour and ultimately together. So thats a good thing.
In this instance, the Camel ads promoted a campaign and Web site devoted to “free range music” (thefarmrocks.com), which supports independent record labels.
Still under debate are Camel-sponsored gigs, a number of which have popped up in recent years featuring big name indie acts like the Flaming Lips, Band of Horses, and the Faint.
