Frozen Indigo Angel - Paul Denchfield?

[mickeyc]

So this is actually what I've put on other forums but it might be useful for you guys as well:

For what it's worth I've reluctantly been following this with a cautious eye and an open mind since it all kicked off and I have my own theories. I'm posting this on a few blogs and boards so that when the truth is out and one of my theories are correct you can all say I got it first. And before you all start pointing the finger at me if this is my first post on your blog/messageboard then forget it (though I do like the idea of being part of it so actually you can accuse away).

OK here goes.

The 'BBC did it' argument
It could be the BBC promoting something like their up and coming Big Weekend. Perhaps Franz Ferdinand on the London Eye maybe (Frozen Indigo Angel anagram minus 1 letter)? Though it is interesting it appeared on a Arctic Monkey podcast and on the DAB tracklisting screen just as Edith Bowman was playing an Arctic Monkeys song. Another Arctic Monkeys gig perhaps? Do Radio 1 need to promote Arctic Northern Monkeys any more than they have done in the last few weeks though? I think not. They could be using Arctic Monkeys because there are some clues in the songs? Are the clues in the songs? 'Brianstorm' is a wordplay on Brainstorm (where lots of people come together and discuss ideas - which is what we are doing here) … 'Top marks for not trying' - well done to everyone who didn't get sucked in perhaps? 'You are the unforcasted storm' - the storm that is whatever this is all about? 'See ya later innovator' - suggests something innovative is happening? Viral marketing is no longer innovative… could this be something more than 'another bloody youtube video to send to all your mates' hence the 'See ya later'? It might not be Radio 1, it could be BBC 1 promoting Doctor Who with a little help from their friends at Radio 1 (Both the doctor and his assistant appeared with Jo Whiley recently - perhaps there were clues in there that we missed? All of a sudden Scott Mills appears as the new host for the National Lottery - coincidence or case of 'you scratch my back I'll scratch yours'.

The 'Denchfield did it' argument.
I'm thinking too deep on that one but to be honest I don't think it is from within the BBC. Here's why I think Denchfield did it. OK Podcasts, Vodcasts and Tracklistings can't be faked from the outside, we all have them on our computers, downloaded from the Radio 1 website. I don't doubt that they happened… but I think he did them whilst working for Radio 1. He would have had access. Anything that has happened since he left has been questionable. Now he hasn't access they are appearing in places that could easily be faked. No one spotted the TV screen in real time - he could have easily faked it himself in Photoshop and said it happened. Also, didn't he used to be in a reality TV show ('Wanted' on Channel 4)? Then surely he is either trying to build his own online reality show (and god knows where it will take us) or he is promoting the return of 'Wanted' or some other reality show? He's got to do something other than sit at home watching Jeremy Kyle regretting messing with the mighty BBC wondering if he'll ever get back behind or in front of the camera. 'Wanted'? More like 'Unwanted' Paul.

Other theories
The 'Neither the BBC did it or Paul Denchfield' argument. What if there is a real plot going on here. This could be the work of an ex-employee who left on good terms - do the BBC change passwords every time someone leaves or only after less than amicable partings like this? What if someone has got access to the BBC servers and databases? It could be something simple like someone with access left and has started his own band call 'Frozen Indigo Angel'…or it could be more sinister. What if someone really has been planting subliminal messages for ages and these are the first to be spotted. Have we all been subliminalled and does anyone know if subliminal messages really work? What if Derren Brown has subliminaled us all and we only think we are spotting Frozen Indigo Angel on the BBC - a genius plot by Channel 4?

I don't know. I love a conspiracy theory, I'm partial to 'good' viral marketing and have got nothing better to do in work other than waste time on this kinda stuff. Either way, I'm enjoying the ride that we are all probably taken for…. it'll be fun seeing what happens along the way.

wow, weirdness

Cause, its not the first time the BBC have pulled a hoax. Im a bit dubious of the whole 'i got fired because I noticed it thing' - someone was going to notice it sooner or later.

I guess we'll have to keep an eye open on this one!

EDIT: Dont know if its relevant but, anagraming the words gives:

Just read the ARGN article about all of this, sounds exciting that the beeb is actually doing a proper game of this! Been following it closely so far, getting loads of emails and SMSes from Paul about these bugged phones and messages on air.

Still not sure how this is all to do with the Big Weekend though, maybe they're giving stuff away? Tickets? Backstage passes?! Other stuff?

I was following this and it seemed kind of interesting...until he posted up those horribly fake staged voice messages from the 'bugged phone'. Then backtracked and said maybe they were fake (because so many people complained). That killed it for me Far too badly done to keep my interest.

Why would BBC be linking to a channel 4 show

Edit: this is why:

Meh, may as well follow this. Radio 1's Big Weekend is only an hour or so's drive away from me this year.

Got a text from Denchfield earlier saying:

Just thought I'd point out that this has been quite confirmed to be invloved with Perplex City. See this thread for further details, it would really help to have some people that have been following this all the way through.

Not really got into this one yet, but was pleasantly surprised when a quick google on "Cyrus Quinton" revealed the perplex city link
This is the email sent out from the "paul@pauldenchfield.com" frozenindigoangelSPLATgooglegroups.com group.
