Bears unlimited repeating, but "The KLF: Chaos, Magic and the Band Who Burned a Million Pounds" is literally one of the most interesting books I've ever read.

And I've read the first two "Game of Thrones" books!

NPR Music was delighted to receive an advance copy of the first book in the trilogy, 2023, and only slightly less delighted — truly — to discover that it contained 300 blank pages and a helpful note suggesting that we fill them ourselves.

Strictly Kev is livebloggerising events on Instagram.
PeteR still owes me copies of his 1990s KLF fanzines.

looks like the old liverpool gang are having a fun few days.pete wylie seems to be part of the badger kull 'tribute' band set up.
― mark e, Wednesday, 23 August 2017 15:37 (six years ago) link
wish there was a livestream somewhere. seems like an interesting event/concept
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 23 August 2017 17:50 (six years ago) link
yeah, following the badger kull twitter blitz is fun. clearly part of the 'project' is to get a new band out there without any help from the usual suspects, or even a real band, but watching it all develop is rather entertaining.

No book on that website, but ta for the link.

the book is on Faber², can't imagine it will be hard to find in UK bookshops

still not so sure i would have enjoyed any of the corporate styled team building exercises.

student rag week taken to the extreme.still, the jarvis thing + ritual burning thing, does sound rather cool.and i have actually contemplated the ashes/brick thing once i had a good read around that website.it does all sound rather legit.

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 21:00 (six years ago) link
The driver of the car seemed to be smiling. Don't think he minded. Could be wrong though.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 21:07 (six years ago) link
Ah, just read the blog post. Does seem to be a dick move. Situationist art is all well and good when it's your own property you're using, but if there was no coordination with the car owner, this was pretty poor form.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 21:11 (six years ago) link
yeah .. car owner was not happy.he confronted jimmy later in the day, and it was uncomfortable by all accounts.more to be revealed by all involved later on i believe.that said, i love the postscript on kevs post.

I do not know what the fuck to make of this 2023 book, or even if I'll read it, or why I should read it ... joke's on me, I guess?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 1 September 2017 20:49 (six years ago) link
Is it more like a Bad Wisdoming of Drummond's last 5-10 books, an actual novel, or just an Illuminatus knockoff? Hasn't been published here (I'm surprised it's in Chicago already!)
― shackling the masses with plastic-wrapped snack picks (sic), Friday, 1 September 2017 23:13 (six years ago) link
I literally can't tell what it is. It's hard to tell what is supposed to be a put on, or is it all a put on, does it have a plot? I've only skimmed bits of it, but it's very ... conceptual? It's novel-esque but features plenty of direct and oblique KLF mythology, from the Bunnymen on up. Just really intimidating.
I bought a "used" copy online via Amazon, just arrived today. There is literally one review on Amazon right now, a five-star review. The complete text is "I am amused."
