Boy, that's made me crack up the way you put that. Imagine all these DJ/producers hiding behind sock puppets. It's not as corny as it sounds, however! Mr Oizo is on Laurent Garnier's F Comm label. He makes kinda weird-ass electronic music. Oizo is also a director - he did the clip for Crispy Bacon. The bit about the puppet is true, mind. It's kinda like Oizo's alter ego. I think maybe Oizo did the ad clip and that's how it started. The puppet has a cult following 'n' stuff. I'm sticking with Oscar The Grouch. Cheers C
