Oops, we apologise for the technical difficulties. No I haven't had second thoughts and done a runner.. I was just trying to move this blog to another site, and it all went a bit Gucci thong.
Anyhow, not much longer to go. I'll be announcing the bonfire venue on Monday, and if anyone's in the area, I would very much like to see you come down, even the people that have left nasty comments… any heckling will only add to the proceedings.
I am now in panic buying mode… clothes and food mainly, and trying to enjoy the non-replaceable branded stuff one last time; especially the TV. When you know something's about to be gone for good, the thing somehow takes on a special meaning… even Hollyoaks was watchable yesterday on E4.
The other device never to be replaced is the cursed Blackberry; good riddance to this instrument of torture. Though it looks like someone's already ahead of me on that one….

I can see the performance art part but why not just destroy the labels/logos and recycle the goods - plenty of direct sources like support for refugees etc who have no basics or remakers who could renew the stuff?
just a good life
I’ll bring you some of my homegrown tomatoes, non branded and very tasty!
Still think it would be better to just donate the stuff to Africa…those kids where NFL logos all the time anyway.
I think that I should be be able to pay less for a branded product. After all, I am advertising it for free evertyime I wear someones brand. And stupidly I would actually pay extra to have the unbranded product …. I think there could be a market for that kind of thing … oh, the contradictions that i have to deal with ..
Sorry to hear of all the negative reaction. Sounds an amusing if a bit quixotic. I cannot see my text on your site, which is a bit odd, but never mind.
God luck with your own brand - I don’t mean that snidely. We all need to make a living, and it is quite reasonable to question how much we spend on the brands of larger, richer, more manipulative entities than on smaller brands on the human scale.
I fear that you will be without JuJu! Of course, it’s through our logos that we absorb and transmit all that weird magic that communicates the important messages of how we fit together. I think it’s a very valuable and brave experiment you’re undertaking, but you’re still going to need some juju.
Take a look at the work of Bob and Roberta Smith - homemade juju perhaps?
bon courage
I tust you won’t be throwing the tomatoes!
Hi,
I saw your 'bonfire' came down with my family as I like the idea, seen it before a few times but never with fire as the main act...
I understand you used to have a magazine, based i guess on the images of brands and were a music promoter again bands are brands, do you not think this is a bit of biting the hand that fed you? or is it you see your old life as lost to the young and need one last blaze to show you're not bitter?
you'll get negative reactions as you're sending out a negative vibe

in a way I feel sorry for you forced into this, it looks like a PR stunt and smell like a PR stunt so I guess it is a........
Good luck and remember 15 minutes of fame sometimes passes without us knowing it ever started
