bit annoying but kind of glad he did it before that smug cunt from the sun Gordon Smart

yeah who gives a fuck about who he is? enjoy the music first.

i bet most of us who are into interesting music wouldn't recognise half the people we own records by. does it matter? no.

It's pretty sad that he might have thought he had to do it. And to have The Sun involved.

Looks like the Independent did it 7 months ago, but as it is unimportant made no fuss over it.

The note he wrote, the way he handled it, is really sweet. Very dignified.

Yeah, and pre-empting The Scum finding it out as well - all it took was a Google for fucks sake - been on the independent website since Februray - Sun Journalists - i'll shit 'em!

All that "it must be XXX" - turns out it it's just a quiet, selfpossessed guy who wanted to be left alone. He's handled it brilliantly

What was the deal the Sun? I must have missed that. I did think getting the Mercury nomination was going to be a mixed blessing for him.

Yep....the rumours it was Fatboy Slim was funny though...as if that dick could produce something as beautiful at Burial. He comes across as a very genuine, shy, muso who just cares about his output rather than whether he's photographed at the latest 'cool' hangout like Ronson et al.
