Haven't seen the Ethiopia tweet yet... Alex opening up a US franchise in Dennistoun is about as likely as Lord Lucan riding down Barnet high Street on Shergar. I don't know, no one can know 100% what he meant aside from him. But at the time he wrote this and I was on the site, I read it like he had calmed down a bit and was dicking about. It's all water under the bridge now anyway but it's cos NME decide to drag it up that it's come up again. EDIT: can't find mention of Ethiopia

umm hun, I think the White Castle thing was him taking the piss. He could have easily said Wendys or Jack in the Box as they're not known here. i agree, he was only kidding. and also, i think NME just found out yesterday about it probably because somebody told them...you can't control all famous people's tweets can you?

If he does make his tweets private like Bob and Paul then I can't say as I blame him. I agree that a handbag with a pricetag like that is stupid. I'm not into carrying bags with me anyway but seriously, that just defies all reason and I feel it's extremely vulgar. It could do so many things for people in third world countries.
I spose his passionate response has caused waves but at the end of the day, better an artist that defends himself in that way then one who shows he doesn't give a toss about his work.

OK, I'm pretty sure he was joking about both the handbag and White Castle. Of course I'm not Alex, so I can't say that for 100-percent sure, but I'm about 99 percent sure he was joking/being sarcastic!! I think we're thinking way too much about this stuff. I joke and say sarcastic things all the time - I think he's allowed to do that, too. Again, maybe the handbag thing was true, but White Castle? lol!

I loved his response to that guy. I think the guy sounded like a tool - granted, I guess you could say he brings up an interesting discussion - how much control should artists have over their work/how much should they expect to have? My stomach churns at the thought of a bunch of wealthy record company execs making big bucks off the creativity and talent of others. But then apparently the music industry is this big, stupid machine. I like the fact that Alex has spoken out about the greed and underhandedness of it all.
