HOLD THE PHONE: RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER ARE NOT CHANGING THEIR NAME

So this confuses me on a couple of levels. For one thing, I would love to know definitively if I’m just a dumb ass that didn’t get the gag, or what the what happened.

Also, ’cause the band allegedly changed their name like four days ago, and this is a three sentence statement, so unless they only wrote one sentence per day, I seriously do not get why it took so long to clear up the rumor.

Also, I don’t know why the phrase “the internet” is in quotation marks. Was it not really the internet that said the name was being changed? I mean, I guess it was “the MySpace page,” or, more specifically, “our MySpace page.” But even then, I’d probably leave out the quotes off, ’cause, y’know. It wasn’t their “supposed” MySpace page. In fact, if anything, I’d put quotes around the word “said,” ’cause the internet can’t really “say” anything, y’know?

But I digress.

Look, bottom line: I’m glad they’re keeping their name, and I look forward to that new album in 2011. Now, let us never speak of this again.

i think they are saying “the internet”, meaning an abstraction of the whole WWW and it’s stereotype for being full of bullshit…. or at least, that’s what I took from the scare quotes.

i don’t know exactly what it means about this specific situation, maybe someone set up the whole new fake myspace page and somehow hacked their old one… maybe a band member got high/drunk and wanted to fuck with people. Who knows… I can’t even check myspace pages at work, so I don’t know the specifics….
