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 !?

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
