Stop press: there is actually someone out there who is willing to listen to the rubbish that Kanye West is coming out with - and no, it's not Kim Kardashian.

Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis has come out in support of the rapper's bizarre rants, saying that he was an admirer of the "provocateur".

He told NME: "I like Kanye. From what I've heard of ['The Life Of Pablo'], I really like it. I like Kanye's presence in the world as much as any of the music."

He continued: "I think things have got so stale, so boring and polished, so careerist and pastiche that he's one of the few people out there actually taking risks and making big, bold decisions. Stuff has just gotten boring in music and I think that anyone who is the anthesis of that should be applauded."

That's all well and good, but would you like to be stranded on a desert island with him, Yannis?
