I see that occasional poster to this list author Stewart Home is there, as is John Michell , author of many books on the mysical British landscape and history ( a reference in the KLF videos and imagery). I wish I lived nearer Cornwall. Perhaps as Jimmy lives in Devon it's a local event for him. ____________________________________________ This OUTBOUND message from Frontline Limited has been checked for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.

Ebay "Space" madness
by John Milne 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

The "Space" promo has been "bought now" for £50. The seller also has JAMS LPs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 6 promo on e-bay at the moment. Is it a first for a seller to have them all there at the same time?

Watch the Bank of Scotland burn three-quarters of a million quid (I couldn't count previously)
by John Milne 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

The film was produced in 1966, so probably pre-dated both "Jim'll Fix It" and "Blue Peter". I just love the idea of people having private 35mm film evenings in sixties Scottish suburbia ... ... sitting around watching movies on white bed sheets of burning (nearly) millions and drinking dry sherries!

Re: Jimmy's stamp collection

Hi, gene, I wasn't so much surprised at the price, rather at the top bidder having such rotten feedback - although he could turn out to be genuine enough. I know I'll be keeping my "1st class" blue t-shirt nice and clean! Never a good idea to walk around Glasgow with a blue picture of the Queen on your chest, anyway!

Jimmy's stamp collection
by John Milne 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20147&item=3737860… Now £3000 and reserve still not met! What makes it doubling strange is the high bidder, who seems to have only ever had one feedback rating - and that was a negative one for not paying £10. I wonder how much these stamps will go for - and also, why the Royal Mail hasn't stopped the auction?

Re: [KLF] OT - Skinny Puppy

I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one who don't get what sp are about. In fact, I hate their music, their persona, their image, their tendency to show disgusting videos during their shows. And still there are people who are buying it for some reason. Several people told me that sp are geniuses etc etc etc, I tried some of their albums (too dark park, last rights, the process etc) but all I found in their "songs" were self-abusement, snobism, misogyny, and some stupid (anti)religionism. I don't know what the fuck were they about. I read Dwayne's "letter" when he wrote near before he OD'd (a local industrial fanzine printed it). I felt the same when I first met the "life" and "works" of Sid Vicious and Kurt Cobain: some poor fucker becomes "somebody", thinks he's somebody and finally feels the urge to destroy that somebody he thinks he became. His last words were the perfect embodiment of all that can be wrong in a mind. And still, his "friends" carry on, not so long after they said they'd never tour or release an album, "since Dwayne is dead, no more sp". Fact is, their other stuff never sold as well as sp. And who bought sp? Mostly white middle-class kids who got their kicks from seeing a dog disemboweled in a concert. And the sp guys said it was all about pro-animal rights...heroinists logic or what...fuck. Try Meat Beat Manifesto or Laibach instead. Or maybe TG. I personally recommend MBM or Laibach. Or Death In June. They are the BEST. I'm sorry for my bad English but I'm ill and in pain. Sorry for the f-words for the same reason. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Orbital - OT
by RMStringer 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

Orbital Calling it Quits After 15 years working together as Orbital, Paul and Phil Hartnoll have announced that their upcoming recording, The Blue Album, will be their last. "I think we feel that Orbital has run it's course," says Paul Hartnoll. "We're both pursuing different avenues with our music. And we've been sat, as brothers, in the same room for 15 years now-and studios are always confined spaces-I think it's time for a change." Since their first single, 'Chime' entered the top 20 in April 1990 Orbital have released six albums. They have helped to shape and develop both the character and credibility of electronic music beyond the acid house scene that they came from. The brothers extra-mural interests have all informed the character of The Blue Album, the bands seventh, which evolved gradually over the course of 2003 with the band free from record company expectations and schedules for the first time since their career began. "If anything," says Paul "It's closer in character to our first album than our later ones, if only because we made it in our own time and for ourselves." Fans will recognize the trademark Orbital sound when they hear it. Familiar themes from previous albums, such as religion, are also present. "There's a couple of references to that," says Paul. One of my favorite tracks, "You Lot" has got this speech from Christopher Eccleston from this fantastic drama called The Second Coming. I just really loved that programme and that speech is quite typically orbital, like our other track Forever, that's got a speech halfway through and I really love the sentiment behind that. That whole programme was about the second coming, obviously, and God." "We've got another track [One Perfect Sunrise] we did with Lisa Gerrard who was in Dead Can Dance, singing on it. That's a spin off from something we wrote for a Sunrise scene, in another film .that's turned out well." Another audible influence on the album is that of legendary transsexual composer Walter/Wendy Carlos. "Absolutely," says Paul, "I tried to do something with a sort of Clockwork Orange feel, and that became 'Bath Time' . It started off by being hummed in the bath on tour before I was about to go and meet everyone for a pint in San Francisco. Got out of the bath and scribbled it down on my laptop and finished it over last summer, adding little bits in buses and vans while I was traveling. And it went on from there. It became like Clockwork Orange and Kraftwerk combined. Electronic music for electronic musics sake, dodging all real instrument sounds. Whereas 'Easy Serve' is weird supermarket muzak, almost like hospital muzak. Maybe it's a supermarket where they only sell hospital items. Here's the lip section.Either way, it's not going to be a coffee table album. But then we've never done one of them. Maybe a coffee table album at three in the morning, when everyone is blind drunk and no one can remember anything anyway." With the album complete, the band is turning their attention to their final show at Glastonbury. An appropriate venue for a farewell as it was here, exactly ten years before that Orbital delivered a live show that Q magazine listed as one of the fifty greatest live show of all time. "It's nice to know that we're finishing, it's not many bands that do that. They tend to just fade away. And it's nice to have our last gig at Glastonbury. It's gonna be a party set, a best of Orbital. We're not gonna sit there and try and promote the new album. I think if we're gonna do a last gig we should do distilled set of all the best stuff we've done. And that's what we're gonna do, play all the stuff that's stuck around for all this time because they are the favorite ones. This will definitely be our last ever live shows," confirms Paul, "Although I'm sure Status Quo keep telling themselves the same thing." Details on their upcoming album are available at the Orbital site <http://www.loopz.co.uk/> . RMStringer ____________________________________________ "We want a few mad people now.
