Del Naja's Blog

Obviously, I really respect 3D as an artist, musically and in fine art. On the other hand, his blog is fantastically shit.
It is in the form of a "photo blog", which is fine in itself - an efficient medium. But... there must be quality control. For example, here is a good picture that I enjoy looking at in a photo blog:

Here is something that I do not enjoy looking at in a photo blog:

What the fuck is that? That's the sort of pseudo-artsy texture bullshit that you get when you give a camera to a 13 year old girl who listens to Linkin Park. I could see that if I went outside on a cold January morning. Waste of internet.

And this picture here:

Oh look, it's 3D, and he's playing the part of an armed robber! Nice that he's trying to relate to black ghetto culture, but the shoes aren't fooling anyone.

Also, he plugs the things he cares about too much. It's embarrassing. I mean, I understand that Massive Attack like to think they're nice and political and shit (a lot of bands do) and they've done some nice things, such as giving proceeds to charities,  but you need to put a limit on this sort of thing.

Supporting a Wikileaks campaign is a sensible thing for Massive Attack to do. It's up their street, liberal etc.. But saving trees? Really? Couldn't you skip that one and give us a teaser for a new EP, or maybe some original artwork? And I haven't even heard of this campaign, a protest against tax evasion. Who the fuck thought of that?! Everyone already hates tax dodging apart from tax dodgers. You don't need to make a campaign against it. Just report that shit to the authorities if you have knowledge, otherwise you can't do anything about it unless you're a regular Columbo and want to sniff around peoples filing cabinets whilst they're asleep.


So please 3D, sort your damn blog out, because I'd love to read it if it weren't so shit.
