Paul Scott's Kooks review at Stylus

This is, as far as I know, and I wasn't part of the commisioning or editing of the piece, a spoof, a fabrication, a parody. Obviously it COULD be real, which is the fun of it. But I'm pretty damn sure it isn't.

The commentors are totally baffled though. As are Playlouder.com, who have it quoted as a news piece (http://www.playlouder.com/news/+have-a-kook-at-t/). I've also seen it c&p'd and emailed around and posted on messageboards in various places with no reference to Stylus at all, as if it is just genuine leaks from record company execs, that people are genuinely (wtf?!) shocked by (news just in - record companies interested in MARKETING).

This strikes me as utterly fucking bizarre. I think it's a good piece. Contentious and controversial, obviously, but pretty well-observed and very funny, especially to someone who's received these types of things (also amusing because I've been party to EMI marketing emails which are NOTHING like this).

Um, discuss, or something.
