I was wondering, doesn't look much like an official account/upload does it.

one year passes...

I watched Who Killed the KLF? last night and it's really good - the unauthorized-ness of it works in its favor, feeling more like a made-for-TV true crime story: lots of footage of cloaked figures stacking KLF vinyl, drone shots of a black and white '68 Ford Galaxie traversing the UK, burning money, voiceovers from folks who were at one of their events. I can see why Messrs. Cauty & Drummond would hate it - it's a straight-forward, linear timeline, fan movie that makes a case for them being Cool As Fuck still 30 years later.

it's good, though i kind of hated the end, with the belle and sebastian song over the clips of related/un-related things that have happened in the intervening 23 years. i found it really mnoving when jimmy was talking about how they'd ask each other "what would the klf do?"—describing their process with and relationship to each other.

has anyone read their book, 2023? it's simultaneously just what i expected (an increasingly complex, endlessly self-referential mindfuck) and not what i expected (dark af in some ways i couldn't have predicted — like the chapter "what is rape?").

the txt on the website seems to imply it's just tony thorpe messing around with old samples.
not overly impressed, but i guess that's all part of the plan.
if it is actually them.

it seems like a sad and tired, unfunny steaming pile of horse manure to me. hard to believe cauty & drummond had much to do with it.

i have from heard from someone who has knowledge of such things that this is a genuine attempt at an xmas #1 and does involve c&d.
which, despite the pretty awful track, is all fine and dandy,
but how is this possible via a free download that's available on their website !?

“their website”: https://klfkare.com/vibe.php

yeah, exactly.
despite assurances from folks closer to the situation than me, i am somewhat dubious.

It’s no worse than Jimmy’s last attempt at a Christmas #1 tbh
