Its fine collecting art just because its B&J, but the bottom line is art is about how the viewer or listener perceives & enjoys it. I've bought quite a few of jimmys cnpd prints and ended up selling some because I felt i'd bought them for the wrong reason. When I took time to stop and look at the pictures some just didn't float my boat,and I couldn't justify keeping them. ----- Original Message ---- From: klfboy _ <klfboy@hotmail.com> To: All bound for Mu-Mu Land. <klf@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, 26 July, 2008 5:22:43 PM Subject: Re: [KLF] Bill Drummond rejects recorded music in favour of 17-personchoirs | Music | The Guardian Art is OK, if the audience gets the message. But saying that recorded music is over, and time to move on to 17-person choirs, all this by a person who's become famous as a manager for bands AND a recording artist in his own right, with some pretty collectable albums and singles under his belt, is pretty confusing, isn't it? So if that was the point, to confuse, it succeeded :D You are right about tolerating the weird shit, but for me, it still seems like Bill's trying to distance himself from everything he's ever done musically, and doing it with a spoiled boy's attitude, as John Whitney said.

What made the KLF interesting to me was the whole world they created around their music - it was never just about their music. I don't love everything Bill D or Jimmy C have done since the KLF, but for people to moan on a KLF list about 'art' and 'stuff that isn't related to music' and general 'weird shit', is absolutely bizarre to me. We're talking about the KLF for chrissakes. The KLF!! The finest weird art pop rave band of all time! If you don't like, or at least tolerate the weird shit, then why on Earth could you be arsed to be on this list?
