There was some more new gossip on Buddyhead's gossip page www.buddyhead.com/gossip. It said that the "What's cooler than being cool?" line in "Hey Ya!" was a dis on Kool Keith, because, well, they have been hating each other for some time now. Keith said that Andre stole his style and his penchant for wearing platnium wigs. They also had this little bit of info:
The Alarm recently played a pretty amazing joke on the UK music industry by releasing a single under the guise of a “hip new young band” called The Poppyfields. The band had a group of teenagers perform in the video to make their story believable. Well it worked cuz the single went Top 30 and tons of labels asked to sign the “hip new young band”. The band has now agreed to let Sara Sugarman direct a film about how the band duped the UK press.
The Alarm was kind of like U2 back in the day. The only song that I remember was "Sold Me Down The River." Pretty funny to expose how shitty the music industry is. Fucking Ashlee Simpson-style.
