You should check the Aphex Twin fax in the latest Jockey Slut. this would
fit both the categories of "Acting Strange" and "Playing up the Media"

I hink its more a question of levels of commerciality. AFX and Prodigy are
perhaps doing largely the same thing, as you say, but at the high level of
exposure afforded the Prodigy, their actions are exaggerated both by their
exposure and the groups own response to that exposure. AFX meanwhile can
get away with things with less fear of criticism from purists, as he has a
smaller band interested in him, and many of them are purists anyway. It's a
question of playing the game.
