KLF videos
by klf＠gamsworld.com 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

I've been a fan of the KLF since 1991 when they appeared on the U.S. Charts with "3 AM Eternal." Many dedicated, die-hard fans would probably say that I'm not a dedicated fan since I didn't discover them until this time. I have to blame it on my location though. It's not my fault that back then I was in high school and listening to only what I heard on the radio and lived in the United States. I began collecting what I could get my hands on and love all of my KLF CD's and Promo singles. My favorite items to collect and enjoy are music videos. I love how they become so rare and hard to get a hold after years go by. For the first time, last week I finally got my hands on a copy of "what time is love (cornfield version)." It sucks that you have to wait so long to see the original video for one of your favorite songs. A few weeks before this I managed to download the "America, what time is love" video...the one on the boat. Although I prefer to have my music videos on tape at least I was able to watch this video as well. What video came first? Was it the cornfield version or the boat version? In the United States, only the live Woodstock Europa versions were used to promote the white room album. What album were the original promo versions used to promote? Was it for the white room or just a stand-alone single at the time? I have only heard and read about "the white room" movie. I would really love to see this so I know what everyone is talking about. What does it take to get a copy of this and other KLF music videos? I would be happy to trade some music videos with list members or pay them for their time. I really just want to enjoy KLF's early videos. Is there anyone on the list that can help me?

>> That sounds waaay too much like the words from a deluded fan who believes their idol can do no wrong; >> viewing everything through rose-tinted glasses and by no means being objective about the material they >> produce. Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of the stuff the KLF have done but after reading Mr D's >> autobiographyish book '45' I am a little more skeptical about why he did the things he did. >Then maybe *you* were the one with the rose-tinted glasses. Oh boy, here we go. I knew I was going to get flamed for that one. Â¬.Â¬ >You think B&J did any of it for the fans, or to invoke ancient magical >beings? Err... >If you do want to follow the long and winding road that the KLF trod, then >you should damn well walk it and not expect a shortcut. The long and winding road of insanity? I respect the KLF for their madcap media-grabbing stuff but there is no way I believe they were totally convicted in their belief for the things they were doing. Drummond mentions in '45' how he had second thoughts about a lot of the things he did; such as getting Tammy Wynette to sing on 'Justified and Ancient', and plonking a dead cow on an electricity pylon in Thurrock (which, if you didn't know, he didn't do in the end; what a waste of a perfectly good cow, it wasn't even used in the end for his 'art'). Perhaps you're just a little bitter that I found the video (relatively) easily and thus was a little disappointed with what I saw because I didn't feel any particular attachment to it - You on the other hand spent years wondering about the film and when you finally saw it chose to find some kind of meaning to it to justify all that time wanting to see the thing! On the whole though, it was their damn money to do with what they want, and if they wanted to make a road movie then so be it. The film makes for a nice ambient kind of affair, and of course it's nice to see our two heroes riding around in our favourite police car :) >You want something instantly accessible that makes sense? >Go buy a britney album. That statement is so wrong, in so many ways, I won't even begin. ;) >You want something a bit more interesting from someone who's work you >respect and admire, you might have to search long and hard, and then be >left with more questions than answers. Welcome to the trance. I respect and admire the KLF for the quality of their music, the way they made fun of the music industry, the guts to actually go through with deleting their back catalogue, burning a million quid, and all that. All I said was that I found the White Room movie a bit of a letdown and I get all this nonsense thrown at me! I dunno, people today. >Besides, i think Stuart was "seriously only joking" > >> For me to have my own opinion as The White Room being a load of self-indulgent twaddle is perfectly valid. > >Yup, fair enough. >But maybe you saw it out of context, just downloading it and watching it. Maybe I should've lit up a joint. >I bet you didn't even take any drugs. Told ya. ;) >For B&J to make self-indulgent twaddle is perfectly valid too, why >shouldn't they indulge themselves? >The bits I like are the subliminal messages between the frames. The what? Don't get me all paranoid like that :P *snip* >You're missing the point still. >I nearly came in my pants the day I walked into a record store and saw >1987 on the wall, having searched for it for years. Now, I'd never claim >it's great listening (I like it, but wouldn't expect most people I know to >enjoy it) but the act of finding it was something special. Even if I'd >hated it, it was something I'd searched for for YEARS. Yeah, I can understand that... I'd love to get my hands on a copy of 1987 as well. Unfortunately I guess having a lot of the MP3s makes the *necessity* of owning it lower. >Now read this again and decide where i'm being serious ;) Dude. There better *not* be any fscking subliminal messages. ;) Hawx > - Sufi saying

Stuart, I couldnt have said it better myself. People who watch it and say "Whats that all about?" truly dont know that "This IS what the KLF are about" After I had first listened to the KLF and "heard" about the White Room movie, I searched for it for years (not on the internet at the time) It took me six years, (maybe cause im in the US or I wasnt looking in the right places) to find it. I managed to get a copy from a list member, and when I recieved it in the mail I could have got a bar of gold and it wouldnt have meant as much. I was truly blown away by the film (as was my brother) It definately lived up to the much built up expectation that I had made of it. It almost brought a tear to me eye.(sniff, sniff) This , of course, is my feeling from the film. I dont think that if I had watched it right away if I would have truly appreciated it, not knowing the depth and mysteriousness of the Jamms. One more thing, I still havent seen the Waiting video!!! Someone help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doc

"hey, waittaminnit... what did they just say?") to slowly walking deeper into the forest discovering new information the more I looked into it. Of course, I knew going into it that the White Room film was unfinished and knew it was not much more than them driving around so I was prepared. In fact, I just watched it again about a month ago. -paul Currently in rotation: VA: Trance Global Nation 6; Fatboy Slim: Live on Brighton Beach Owen Patrick - http://members.cox.net/owen0302

A good post is worth repeating: > Don't you understand that part of the real journey of the White Room is > that of the fan? To acheive a true and meaningful watching of the film > you must first spend several years believing that no footage from the > movie will ever be seen, learning about its mysteries and wonder in the > sacred book of Justified & Ancient History, and only when you have > followed this path will you receive true enlightenment from the film. > > People who just download it, watch it on their PC and then post to say > "what's that all about?" have missed the point! Kids today just don't > know how spoilt they are. Gotta agree there. Could go on about mp3s vs record scouring in darkly lit dodgy back alley shops but we've been there before. -paul who fondly remembers receiving that video tape in the mail, hands sweating as he nervously but oh so carefully slid it into the VCR, picked up the remote and pressed PLAY.
