Re: [KLF] DAT box, distribution, question about tammy wynette box
i really liked the idea that this was going to be distributed in places where people who might never normally listen to the klf might pick it up by accident and experience it through a completely different context
I don't think what I'm about to suggest is practical but offer it up in case someone gets an idea: There's a website out there (can't recall or find it, sorry) that encourages the 'liberation' of books. You are encouraged to trade books with others and all it costs you is the postage to mail your book. Also, and here's where my thinking lies (or lay) is that you are also encouraged to leave your books out in the wild (on a bench at the airport, in a coffee house, on the bus, etc) where someone else might pick it up. There is a place where you can register your book and print off a label to past inside explaining this with the site URL and book ID number so the book could be tracked around the world. Now I don't propose something as grand as that, but I like the idea of leaving copies of the CD scattered all over the place (not just the music racks as originally suggested). The label can suggested the finder burn a copy for themselves and leave it somewhere for someone else to find. The only real problem I see with that is with ipods, etc being the rage right now it's unlikely someone on the Tube will have a portable CD player to pop it in and listen to. They'd have to bring it home, or at least back to their car. And, as such, the whole concept falls apart. So there. -paul

although, to be really KLF about, 'burning' a copy should really involve matches and kindeling wood :)
