RE: Re: [KLF] The White Room Script - where did it come from?
I'm not sure, but is he the same Pete Robinson that does the "Vs." interviews in the NME every week? He inyerviews stars (sometimes musicians, sometimes others) and is basically rather rude to them. Also, I seem to recall he had something to do with "Popbitch" a wee while back. Am I on the right track? John PS - I'm pretty sure it's him that's referred to in "45". I also wonder what Drummond's attitude to people who are obsessed, possibly as strongly as we are, with the earlier parts of his career? Does he, perhaps, look more kindly on a Zoo enthusiast than a KLF one? Just a thought ...

Ah, thanks for clearing up all this. Just wanted to be sure that the script came from an official source in the first place. I already thought about printing my own copy, using some font that resembles a typewriter, and a small Pyramid Blaster on the cover.
I have a few typewriter fonts -- designed to look like an old manual typewriter. I can forward them on if you'd like
If someone would want his own "typewrited" script, I could try to convert it to a PDF file.
I'd like this if you get around to it.
He is never credited by name, but is it also Pete who is mentioned in one of the last chapters of "45"? The bit about 2K and Bill talking about disillusion being the greatest power of them all? And where is he now?
Pete's still around. He was on here not long ago, and I bought a mint copy of his fanzie a while back from him, and I've sent him some KLF images he was looking for for some project which never materialized. He runs/ran a music website but I can't for the life of me recall which one it is right now.

not quite - Popjustice is Pete R's website, but yes, that's him whose huge hand interrogates people in the NME.
It is indeed the same guy. I met him at the 1993 Phoenix festival when he was about 14, he was wearing the old white KLF t-shirt so I naturally asked him why. I was bowled over by his enthusiasm, especially when I realised he was the author of the little KLF fanzine/book I had at home. He was heading for the main stage with a portable DAT as he had it on good authority that compere/DJ John Peel was to play K Sera Sera between acts It's a shame a kinda groundless elitism and smugness that seems to have come with adulthood has made him an ideal writer for the NME, one could argue. I still buy the wretched rag every week though =/ tbc Chris <mute@tpg.com.au> wrote: Quoting John Milne :

Yes. Somewhere on the X$X group links thing, there's a bit about Pete Robinson's 'interview with Michael K' which, I believe, got excerpted on this list at some point before my time on the list (and before I'd ever heard of either Pete or X$X). It's the full interview (from a minidisc and during it K says to Pete (who is clearly pissed off with him but also very friendly with him, which of course has been speculated many times an just one indicative of his being in on the X$X thing) 'You should do more nasty interviews. Your klf interview was so sycophantic. Instead of being the KLF's bitch you should have been a total fucking bitch and cut them up with a hatchet.'. At which point Pete goes all sensitive-to-criticism and K thanks him for putting up scans of 'my most stoned ramblings' for posterity. Seems like he found his niche right there, then.
