Credit: The "real" face of Burial...?

Has Burial gone and ‘outed’ himself? The mysterious dubstep artist, who is the current bookies’ favourite for the 2008 Nationwide Mercury Prize has posted a blog on his MySpace page, seemingly alongside a photograph of himself.

“hi

for a while theres been some talk about who i am , but its not a big deal

i wanted to be unknown because i just want it to be all about the tunes.

over the last year the unknown thing become an issue so im not into it any more.

im a lowkey person and i just want to make some tunes, nothing else. my names will bevan, im from south london, im keeping my head down and just going to finish my next album, theres going to be a 12" maybe in the next few weeks too with 4 tunes. hope u like it, i'll try put a tune up later

sorry for any rubbish tunes i made in the past, ill make up for it

a big big thank you to anyone who ever supported me, liked my tunes or sent me messages, it means the world to me

big up everyone, take care, will ( burial )”

Oo-er. Is it the real Burial? Is it all a big double-bluff? Will he turn up if he wins the Mercury? Will running spurious news stories like this only fuel the hype and speculation? YOU DECIDE!
