Meanwhile, news from the "other" Prince

Posted at 6:15 PM on January 2, 2007 by Hans Eisenbeis

Bonnie
Bonnie "Prince" Billy has released a strange new music video for the strange new song "Ebb Tide." You can see it here at Pitchfork.

BPB is, of course, the balding bearded artist otherwise known as Will Oldham. We love his music, but we often wonder-- who is Bonnie (or Billy), and why does she (or he) apparently go by the nickname "Prince"?

Let's hope Will stays in good standing with his label and doesn't have to resort to a symbol as a moniker in the future. But if he did, what symbol would suit him best? We're partial to the double dagger ("‡") and the sz ligature ("ß").
