The Artist Formerly Known As Santogold

According to an mtvU Woodie Awards press release a certain genre-defying ’08 breakout female artist should from this day forth be referred to as “Santi (formerly known as Santogold).”

Whoa when did this happen? The sudden name change could be a preemptive strike against actor Santo Rigatuso who had used the stage name “Santo Gold” for years and threatened to sue for copyright infringement.

Lets lament the real tragedy here, the death of lame “gold” puns in Santogold articles.

RIP “Good as Gold”, “Gold Rush”, “All That Glitters”.
