There is a funny story about Paris Hiltons album and it goes like this:

Dangermouse (hip hop producer) remixed and repackaged 2,000 copies of her album. The funny part is that all of them sold. Do the research yourself it all is truth.

Ah, you've just addressed rock fallacy #27. To which my favourite counter is that classical musicians, professional ones, are all, with very, very, VERY few exceptions, better musicians than anything pop or rock has produced, and none of them play their own music.

Also, credibility is a non-sequiter. More important is content and delivery. Ramones are 'credible'. Paris isn't (I'll concede that much). Ramones wrote a series of brilliant pop songs. Paris hasn't. Ramones pop songs weren't terribly sophisticated. By comparison, Paris' are. Stars are Blind is a brilliant song. Sheena is a punk rocker is a brilliant song. Neither are great for their construction or crediblity, but because of their delivery.

I wonder if Architects ever have this debate? "Yeah, but the builders didn't design the building. It's an ok building, but anyone could've made it if they had enough money. I prefer my building DIY. It might fall apart, but at least it's credible".

Yes!!! I have a screencap of the old forum saying "LISTEN TO REAL PUNK" and there was a picture of avril

It's not 'indie' to like manufactured pop shit, so I'll say I like it and that'll make me ever more 'indie'.

Some of you try too hard.

So you say.....
Danger Mouse, Banksy Burn Paris

Danger Mouse's management confirms he's the "DM" behind the pranksta remixes of Paris Hilton's new album.

 

The doctored Paris Hilton cover

Over the weekend, British papers discovered that Banksy, the artist who notoriously sneaked fake versions of famous paintings into art galleries last year, replaced as many as 500 retail store copies of Paris Hilton's debut CD with a retouched and remixed version. Now, it has been revealed that Danger Mouse -- the producer behind Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz, and the famous Grey Album -- is behind the remix portion of the disc. Along with completely reworked liner notes that included topless photos of Paris slathered with slogans like "Every CD you buy puts me even further out of your league," the CD featured remixes of Hilton songs by someone credited as "DM," letters that stand for Danger Mouse. The song titles were also changed to names like "Why Am I Famous," "What Have I Done," and "What Am I For." According to an email from his management company obtained by SPIN.com, Danger Mouse met Banksy in London while shopping for disguises. The two had one singular statement about the project: "It's hard to improve on perfection, but we had to try."

Je m'excuse. Original post duly amended.

No worries. Transient imperfections befall even those with the most paramount nomanclatural array.

What? I went to her myspace page and listened to a few of the songs there. Hardly going out of my way. I never said anything about the whole album either, just the single. And I didn't have extreme disgust for the music until listening to it (although I did have and still do have extreme disgust for Ms. Hilton herself). I was never trying to prove myself more worthy, either. I was just surprised at the general acclaim the song was recieving from a lot of the people here.

[sonikold]

someone really needs to upload the banksy/dangermouse version...

[jimbrim]

wow, i knew Banksy edited the sleeve but i didnt know the whole album was edited!
