Limited Edition Paris CD 'hard to find'

I wasn't aware Banksy did remixes but my curiosity is now piqued.

What are your thoughts on this matter- is this actually art of some variety or just someone being a twat? (Banksy's deeds, I'm referring to, not Paris')

dubdobdee on Banksy.

I wish he'd picked a less obvious target here, but I'm not sure how much I wish this because I think it's quite a good album.

I very much concur with what he says there about people wanking on and on about how 'subversive' Banksy is. I suspect it is because they wish they'd done it themselves and therefore imagine that pretending he is part of some subcultural phenomenon they too can claim to be part of, they can appear to be cooler.

I think it's an alright album and certainly I see no reason to target people who might buy it. If he'd done it to an album by those white supremacist twins, that would actually be fucking cool but I can't help but feel this is one of those times when someone takes the joke too far and ends up just acting like an utter cunt. On the other hand, I would very much like to hear these remixes of his.
