There’s some additional evidence (a quote from an interview) that the artist Banksy is actually Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja. [Jezebel]

I absolutely love Massive Attack. Unfinished Sympathy is one of my favourite songs and I love the video too. I hope he is Banksy.
Me too! I was surprised for seeing the band here, and with the speculation lol I love them!!
I really miss the quality and diversity of music i was exposed to from the nineties to the aughts.
Now i m the old spinster that keeps repeating it was better before.
Massive attack was so good in a rich musical era of cool Britannia.
I ‘m perplexed now about Banksy, after reading in a Tumblr about his stealing space of other artists, and his underwhelming dreadful disneyland like experience in England.
I can’t believe that knowing and loving Massive Attack makes me an old.
What’s next, grey pubes?
Gah. Get off my lawn and get me my Werther’s.
Me too. Love Massive Attack. Now that I think of it, it makes perfect sense that he is Banksy
I like this idea of Banksy, especially Banksy being a collective of artists
Wtf that would blow my mind I love Massive Attack.
Omg? I love MA and Banksy. Part of me hopes it’s him, the other part wishes he would remain anonymous. Oh, well.
Hoping it is just some normal dude, with a normal life, working 9-5, walking among us.
It´s NOT. Banksy is a group of artists, not just one person. And those people are rich, I doubt that they are working 9-5. Good that they can focus on their art!
As much as I like Bansky’s work, I can do nothing but agree with Malorie: Bansky is or are rich people, not working class people.
Not knowing who Banksy is keeps me up at night. I need to know. So please let this be true.
WHAAAAAAAAAA??!?! my eyes are so Big at this!!…. Ahhh God Bless MA Im a Live with Me, person.. i can play that all day in a loop, but generally speaking I still think Heligoland is just endlessly listenable (Ugh I;’m diving head first into it NOW)
Omg I love live with me. So haunting! My favourite is mezzanine but I really dig all of their work. And I can’t believe there’s a Massive Attack article on CB.
Did anyone watch Fargo? I loved the ambiguous ending…so good!!
Is there a new season?
Season Three just ended Thursday night. Great cast….didn’t think I would love it, please check it out!
Absolutely loved it.
Have episodes on my DVR. Didn’t like the first few episodes and wasn’t motivated to watch them Sounds like it got better toward the end.
Reminded me too much of The Usual Suspects. This season was not as strong as seasons past. Just okay, in my opinion.
Ending was meant for movie analogy.
I think Chadwick Boseman is the our generation’s Denzel Washington. He has done too many biographies…. so what? Chadwick is an incredible actor and I hope to see him do well.
I do, too! And I’m very excited for Black Panther!
Agreed. Give him more time on screen-in anything!
nevermind I don’t want to be ugly
I LOVE Massive Attack. I listened to them as a teenager and still do today. They are one of the very few bands that stayed with me, another one is Portishead. They music is really timeless.
I hope it’s him!
Yes I loved them in high school too and I’m still obsessed with Portishead but thanks for the reminder to listen to MA, CB! I don’t want to know who Banksy is either. I’m sure it’s more than one person but I don’t want to know. I used to paint in high school too and love stencils still. It has to be more than one person but keep the mystery alive. That’s what makes it great. I know Banksy got hate for Dismaland and what people say is obvious social and political commentary but I don’t get why this is so important to people? There’s so much that needs to be criticized about corporate facism, capitalism, greed, conflict, hatred… why do people care how it’s criticized? It’s just annoying to me when people go off on pretentious shitty rants about street art. I know they’re trying to sound smart but I think they’re missing the point. Anyway, trip hop is awesome and I’m definitely going to go revisit it.
I love the fact that in the featured link about Goop’s new product, the official comment from a NASA scientist is “What a load of BS.” I cackled so hard when I read that.
Doesn’t matter what our background, IQ or education is, we all have the same reaction to Goop. 😉
I loved the last line in the Blemish article, “Goop stickers run $120 for a pack of 24 and are available wherever snake oil is sold.” lol
That Buzzfeed article about rape is horrifying. At least people are calling out the rapist’s company on FB and calling more attention to it, because apparently at the time, it didn’t even make the local news. 🙁
Although curiousity is natural, at the end of the day I don’t want to know who Banksy is. The mystery, in this day and age of over-sharing, is kind of awesome. In fact, I hope that one day Banksy trains a suitable like-minded apprentice, and the mystery continues.
Same – Banksy and Elena Ferrante are two artists whose real names I actually don’t want to know, I’d rather they went down as a 21st century unsolved mystery.
Watching two-in-a-joyful-row icons at Glastonbury – Chrissie Hynde (oh my!), and Kris Kristofferson (his first Glastonbury, in his 80s!) and all is well in my Friday night world where no one cares that the voices may not be quite the same voices they once were but the lyrics and the delivery of those lyrics still have the same power to move. Both were f*ucking awesome.
Oh yay!! That’s great!!!
That BuzzFeed story made me cry. That poor girl.
I didn’t make it past the part where the investigator questioning her started to take a line of questioning that actually treated her as the criminal. I’m sick to my stomach just thinking of it.
This crap is so wrong. We must change.
The Banksy thing would make sense. I always wondered how they did it, and if you cared a bit about street art it was clear that it must be someone with a lot of money.
That said, i am a Massive Attack Fan and a Banksy Fan, so it even makes more sense. 😀
Love MA, love Bansky…and is it me or Robert del Naja looks like the handsome version of Tim Roth?
Pretty sure Banksy has been identified? Initials are R.G.
