Refused to listen to Random Access Memory till it officially comes out
But damn it’s making me nervous hearing people sounding disappointed or at the least saying it’s not what they expected. If it is a disappointment, 2/4 albums were received well (ignoring Tron) one could make an argument and I’m not saying I will make it because they were so influential from the mid nineties to early two thousands, but one could argue that their genius has been inflated and over hyped. Going two out of four or 50% isn’t a sign of greatness on the album front.
I know I will get inevitable hate for this and again I haven’t listened to it myself and I’m just going off other peoples thoughts, but if someone starting making that argument I wouldn’t dismiss him as a crazy man.

Mr Bingo / Hate Mail
I remember first coming across Mr Bingo a couple of years ago at the Frieze Arts Fair in London exhibiting his Hair Portraits, his exhibit actually took a decent amount of space and caused a lot of buzz around his work and not long after I saw people copy him, the true mark of success. Late year I had the absolute delight and pleasure of him coming to my university and giving us a lecture. The guy is hilarious. I everyone was laughing at his dry, crude humour, even the tutors. He was showing us some of his work he called Hate Mail and to tooth it’s one of the funniest projects I have ever witnessed.
He called people on twitter to contact him with their address and he would rip them to shreds in the form of a postcard, soon enough he got inundated with requests to the point he had to stop people from sending him messages, in all probability hurling some hate at them in the process. In a nutshell, he’s charming, drenched in British mannerisms and his postcards are ridiculously funny, unique and just damn right awesome. 7
Sometimes you see an image online, with no caption or no information and think to yourself, god damn what’s the story behind that? 7
