For whatever reason, Santogold has changed her name to Santigold. I couldn’t tell you why, maybe she gets bored easily? In a press release this was the explanation: “Santogold is now Santigold. She’s not telling you why, that’s just how it is. No unpronounceable symbol, no numbers where they shouldn’t be, no random capitalization, just plain ass Santigold so remember that. That’s pretty much all that I know about now, she has a all new myspace. If anything else comes my way I was deliver you the update!

[mp3] : The Ting Tings – That’s Not My Name

She changed it because some asshole named Santo Gold started to bitch about it as he’s been using the name since 1983. He apparently is a failed EVERYTHING (songwriter, poet, painter, etc) but now he’s writing an album called “I Am The Real Santo Gold” or some dumb shit…

Patch: if that’s true, that’s pretty funny! Got a source?
Will: great choice to include The Ting Tings track… very appropriate!

А разве это верно ? Мне кажется что тут очень как-то не так.
