The Amorphous Records website makes the following statement on Fliangshemp: "If anyone has any information pertaining to the whereabouts of Blantiss Fliangshemp, please contact the authorities immediately. He should be considered unarmed and extremely stimulating."
 
[[Pat Finn]], frontman for [[Organic Mechanic]] and longtime [[Weezer]] collaborator, had this to say about the mysterious label executive:<blockquote>"Blantiss Fliangshemp is a major crackpot and he has absolutely no right to represent amorphousrecords or any of the people on the label. I agree with what he's saying, but he must be stopped."</blockquote>
 
Fliangshemp has himself released two statements into the world through the Amorphous Records website. One came in the form of a [[Blantiss Fliangshemp#Letter to Wired Magazine|letter to ''Wired'' Magazine]] in [[2003]], and the other came in the form of an "[[Blantiss Fliangshemp#Untitled Decree|Untitled Decree]]" the following year.
 
Fliangshemp could supposedly be reached regarding his "stable of Amorphous artists" by emailing karlophone@karlophone.com with the subject header "Amorphous: Dear Blantiss."
