The KLF: Chaos, Magic and the Band Who Burned a Million Pounds was one of the best books I've ever read.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 20 January 2017 13:24 (seven years ago) link
yeah, that book is 100% great

Agree about the book. I personally don't need to hear any new music from KLF, but I wouldn't mind being able to stream their entire catalog on Spotify.

Just copped Waiting for the Rites of Mu recently and I am ... disturbed by how much I enjoy it, and how it sounds to my aging ears like it's from five minutes in the future. Although if literature is "news that stays news" I guess there's no reason music from the past can't evoke a perpetual onward sweep.

I kinda feel like all those tropical house covers littering the charts are completely in synch with the guidelines from The Manual and so much as I would love the KLF spirit to return I fear it would be actually disappointing

I listen to most top 40 as if it's subversive KLF arena house, more fun that way.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 20 January 2017 18:06 (seven years ago) link
I definitely listen to Scooter that way
― frogbs, Friday, 20 January 2017 18:36 (seven years ago) link
I went to see Scooter live a few months ago and it was probably the greatest night of my life because they do everything by The Manual

Waiting and The Rites Of Mu are two different short films whose audio tracks were bootlegged onto a single CD, if you don't know

yeah. music's great though - like a more uptempo Chill Out.
when did samples stop being cool? I still think they're cool.
― 0 / 0 (lukas), Saturday, 21 January 2017 00:07 (seven years ago) link
they never stopped being cool, they just started being ruinously expensive to use

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.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 21 July 2017 15:53 (six years ago) link
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.

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.
