Fuck Banksy, let's make some real points

[fingertrouble]

Very cool site - http://www.spacehijackers.org/ I remember them from their London Underground tube parties - I like their style.

BTW been researching Banksy after his latest 'stunt' which actually smells of Record Company PR viral campaign:


This apparently is what he looks like - see this for the full Evening Standard article from 2004 (thanks Don for putting me onto that) which allegedly is him (although he denies it), and not so surprisingly the clipping is not on his site.

According to his site, and elsewhere he's worked with Bono and Buju Banton...ugh. And allegedly LA Lewis and Puma. Riiiight...I'm starting to think he's a twat with no point to his work anymore looking for fame as a brand (despite what his site says). Anyone with me?

It sounds like Bansky's doing this: http://www.droplift.org/ but with less radical aesthetic and a few years late. And you're right, the whole thing does smell. The CD still scans as Paris Hilton so she still gets the royalties and who's not going to notice the markedly different cover on a few CDs in the bin? It sounds more like the label went, "This is a shit album that no one's going to talk about once it's actually been released so what can we do to get more free ad space?"
