in praise of KLF - the white room

about to start reading this book, excited

Yay! I dreamed about the KLF last night! Continuing my "dream up fake songs" tradition, last night I even managed to dream up a complete fake KLF single, including video, with Jimmy Cauty maniacally butchering sheep carcasses. Then Bill Drummond rented me a holiday cottage near Belfast. It was on this long spit of land that stuck out into the sea in what Bill said had to be a secret masonic symbol from the way it looked on the A to Z.

that dream should be a short film or music video imo, or actually i guess i just want to dream it myself

KLF are p much the one band I would most like to see a fictionlised film of the "not really true" story of their adventures, a la "24 Hour Party People" but also they are the one band most likely to never do such a thing. Perhaps I should start writing a film to be made after the 23 years are up, haha.

Isn't the 23 years up, like, already?

since the car bonnet contract? November 2018.

Not long, then..

Bill did bend the contract slightly in this

well, i guess it is time to add this and the 'waiting for the rights of mu' albums to the digital archive.

the 'waiting for the rights of mu' albums

not actually an album

yeah i know ..

but hey lets not spoil the party ..

put the films in yr digital archive instead!

I feel like I found some sort of hidden treasure in the used bins today when I saw Shag Times. Picked it up without hesitation. Love it when I find early KLF in the wild

Double LP version fwiw.

good find.

some of the extra remixes/tracks are a bit superfluous but its a good collection of their various singles.

"Interviews with Bill Drummond & Jimmy Cauty that I couldn't fit into 'How Soon Is Now?' The K Foundation Tapes: http://www.how-soon.com/index.php/blog/entry/the_k_foundation_tapes";

was doing some reading on this album and saw that 3 AM Eternal hit #5 on the Billboard chart in 1991. What kind of radio stations played it?

it was #1 in the uk!

I remember it being on the radio all the time, because I used to listen to it while driving, and there was no tape deck. But I can't remember what kind of stations were playing it.

In addition to 3AM Eternal, Unbelievable by EMF, Right Here Right Now by Jesus Jones, Silent Morning by Noel, True Faith by New Order and other Freestyle/dance tracks made a dent in the charts in the late 80s/early 90s.

The videos for "3AM Eternal" and "Justified and Ancient" got some MTV rotation.

I just found this album for $1.50 and am listening to it for the first time. It's really good. Very much enjoying.

3am was on the top 40 station a LOT here.
