A friend texted me the other day to tell me I'd got to read Burial's MySpace blog, when I did I found out that Burial has decided to announce his real identity to the world, as a fan of Burial that is pretty exciting news, or at least it was until I found out that his reason for doing so was essentially due to hassle being directed towards him, particularly from the pressure of a rather lowlife newspaper which I shan't even credit through naming, which has run quite an aggressive campaign to try and 'out' Burial.

Burial didn't seem much fussed about the whole thing saying 'over the last year the unknown thing become an issue so im not into it any more', he also mentioned that he's working on a new album so it seems that perhaps there's a silver lining to this particular cloud, at least for Burial's fans.

Aside from that I also learned that Burial has been nominated for The Mercury Prize, which is great news, if you want to show your support for Burial you can do so by joining the following facebook group: http://www.new.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=30437417951
