Hi all, Unfortunately I need to raise some cash so have had to place some items on ebay. Pete Robinson book Justified And Ancient History The Unfolding Story Of The KLF 4009726257, and loads of original biogs and info direct from Trancentral 4009725194. I know this is a shameless plug, but needs must.

I thought others on the list might like to read it too (if they don't own a copy already) and have set up a Yahoo Group with scans of each page in the photos section: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/klf-history/ I hope you enjoy it!

Are there two original editions of the "Space" CD?
by John Milne 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Sorry to keep to banging on about this (as I don't own a promo, I know it disrupts the flow of the thread) but e-bay item: 4015172761 is a copy of the Space CD identical to the one I have, red on black (despite the fuzzy photo). The earlier auction: 4013828446 is the black on red one. Notice that the earlier one is going for £70 and the newer Space CD is going for £40 - and neither have met their reserve yet! Looks like e-bay's silly season is swinging in again as the nights get longer (at least in the Northern Hemisphere). ;) John

Is every-one forgetting that the KLF under various alias names have sampled right from the start. they've never denied it have they.... look at DISCO 2000: Uptight.... they sampled THE PROFFESIONALS THEME.... did they rant on saying they're the proffesionals? NO they simply came up with a name for themselves that says it all........ klf communications... Kopyright Liberation Front... Kopyright = sue us if you don't like what we do with your sample as it may sound better that what you originally used it for.... so having done so quite a few times otherwise this list would not exist.... Keep Listening Forever WIZARD

Watch the Bank of Scotland burn a quarter of a million quid
by John Milne 18 Aug '04

18 Aug '04

First of all, apologies for those who browse the list archives. I now use web-based e-mail rather than Outlook, and I don't know how to get lines of texts to stay within the Window rather than extending onwards (as it's doing now!). If anyone knows, please tell me! Anyway, I was browsing through an old copy of "The Scots Magazine" (a periodical about all things Scottish, obviously) from September 1966 when this advert caught my eye: "Planning a Film Show? "£750,000 on fire! This heart-rending spectacle can be seen in the Bank of Scotland's new seven-minute 16mm film "Money to Burn". "For the very first time, cameras have captured in colour all the bustle and excitement of an event which, until recently, no one outside banking circles had been allowed to witness - the burning of thousands of bank notes. "The film is bookable throughj any of the Bank's branches or by direct application to: BANK OF SCOTLAND, PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT, THE MOUND, EDINBURGH 1." I wonder if young Bill ever saw this film?

Untitled (Room 101)
by John 18 Aug '04

18 Aug '04

More protests against Rachel Whiteread... http://www.thechapmagazine.com/protest.html THE CHAP ART PROTEST On 25th May 2004, twenty seven followers of The Chap handcuffed themselves around Rachel Whiteread’s ‘Untitled (Room 101)’ in the Cast Courts of the Victoria and Albert Museum, as a protest against the pointless intrusion by contemporary art pieces into public areas. The Chaps and Chapettes formed a “human cufflink” around the 18X12-foot sculpture and recited the final lines of John Keats’ Ode on a Grecian Urn: “Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all/Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.” The human cufflink produced no reaction whatsoever from security officers at the V&A, so the Chaps climbed on to the sculpture and continued the protest from its surprisingly wobbly surface. Even then, they were able to dispatch the contents of several hip flasks of fine whisky before attracting any attention. A stand-off ensued between the tweed-clad protesters, emboldened by their unassailable height and whisky, and security guards. The Chap's spokesman agreed with a negotiator for the V&A to come down, if provided with a stepladder and an ashtray. The latter, alas, was not forthcoming, and the Chaps descended, one by one, with unsmoked pipes and cigarettes clasped between their teeth. Various members of curating and conservation staff then appeared, and attempted to herd the Chaps into a corner to give them a good ticking off. The exit to the Cast Court had been sealed off by security by then. There was only one course of action. The Chaps politely but firmly asked to be let out, and, showing remarkable dignity, filed out of the V&A with a security escort. For over a century, the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Cast Court has been a repository of plaster reproductions of the world’s great monuments, including life-size replicas of Trajan's column, the Pórtico de la Gloria in Santiago de Compostela and Michelangelo's David. Originally intended as a reference for classics and arts students unable to visit the originals in European cities, the Cast Court provides a place to contemplate some of the wonders of the cultural world. Until, that is, November 2003, when Modus Operandi, public art consultants who have developed the BBC's art programme, invited Rachel Whiteread to install a piece of her work in the Cast Courts, because “the resonance and mythology of the space might fascinate her.” It seems, however, that the resonance and mythology of the space didn’t fascinate Ms Whiteread, because she decided to make yet another plaster cast of an empty room, this time Room 101 at the old BBC Building. George Orwell purportedly used it as a reference for his Room 101 in the novel 1984 – probably because he saw it every day during the two years he worked at the BBC and it was as good as any other number. But hold on a minute – what has this got to do with Trajan’s Column? “Room 101,” says Ms Whiteread, “stands as a metaphor in the collective memory and the popular imagination for the worst thing that can happen to you.” Indubitably, but where does Michelangelo’s David fit in to that? Not at all, is sadly the answer, since many of the plaster reproductions had to be moved out of the way to squeeze in Ms Whiteread’s gargantuan cube of plaster. Studying the informative placard displayed next to the sculpture, we read that, in fact, “Other casts in the gallery have been arranged by Rachel Whiteread”. The result is that, from every angle, one’s view of the other exhibits in Cast Court 46B are obscured by ‘Untitled (Room 101)’. The Chap objects to the V&A giving a single artist the exclusive privilege of reflecting on the contents of the Cast Courts, thus denying the same pleasure to the general public. Visitors to Tate Modern are not, conversely, forced to peer around classical sculptures in order to view someone shouting on a giant video screen. This clumsy bit of curating seems to reflect the fear held by all public museums of being perceived as stuffy and old fashioned. The Chap says: it’s alright to be stuffy and old fashioned, and better than trying to keep up with the trendy crowd and getting it hopelessly wrong in the process.

This is great fun and everything but although I'm all for anarchy and everything, it being the only type of government that lets me play Motorhead at my preferred volume after misnight, I really take issue with someone representing me as a Bush-voting right-wing Nazi. I don't vote at all because it's a pain in the arse to have to get up early and not get wasted immediately as usual in order to prevent awkward stares from 'the judging panel' that you find at these Polling Stations.

Pyramid Blaster Spotted
by Thug 31 Jul '04

31 Jul '04

You can spot Bill and Jimmy's "Pyramid Blaster" in some of the oddest places... Like in Pixar's Animation Studios. If any of you out there have the "Finding Nemo" DVD with the director's "Visual Commentary" (i.e. it's a director's commentary, but the movie is also interrupted with little "behind the scenes" vignettes as well), do the following: Put in Disc 1, select 'Bonus Material', then 'Visual Commentary', then 'Visual Commentary Index'. Finally, scroll through all the entries until you find 'Pelican Animation' and run it. You'll get a short bit by Dylan Brown, one of the Pixar animators, about modelling pelican's. And if you look closely at the top-left hand corner of his computer monitor, you'll see he's got a Pyramid Blaster logo stuck there. I know, I know... You're all wondering how you went through life before knowing that. I feel that way too. Michael (Oh, by the way, I'm *not* going to rip a copy of this and stick it up on RM Stringer's FTP site. I don't believe in encouraging him. <grin>)
