The man in the Ice Cream Van? Vanilla Bill? I always suspect that anything KLF-y will always have something about it that would betray its origins (even the "I Wanna 121 WIth You" single had KLF lettering on the inner sleeve). Some things which were meant to be KLF - 1300 Drums, for example - had nothing that could be identified with B & J (and of course, were nothing to do with them) I don't think Vanilla were a "hoax" anyway - they were merely a pop group, like B*witched or Cartoonz, and there was nothing subversive or situationist about them. My opinion, anyway ... John

Vanilla
Can anyone shed light on whether the atrocious girl-band "Vanilla" and their single "No Way No Way (Mna mna)" was a hoax perpetrated on the UK music industry by Bill Drummond?
anyone got an opinion on that?
cheers

Yeah, I've heard other rumours suggesting Chris Morris was behind it. I think the fact is that the song was so unbelievably appallingly bad, that people couldn't believe it was serious. But this was at the height of the Spice Girls dominance, so record companies would sign anything that even slightly resembled them. If you can find a copy of the song, have a listen. It has to be heard to be believed.

Hi, does anyone of the UK members know a website that has got all the charts from let's say 1980 to 1995 on it? There's a site for Germany that's called Charthistory and it has weekly charts from 1980 till 2001. Any clues? Cheers, Dan --- a.k.a. Kuta, KLF Online (www.klf.de)

there was one around about 4 years ago that had every top40 chart for what seemed like forever.... certainly way back into the 70s maybe beyond. but the guy had to take it down - Gallop or the BBC or someone conatacted him and told him that actually the infomation was their property and if he wanted to put it on the web he'd have to pay royalties or something. sounds like a cop out excuse and he's just got too old to listen to the top 40 every sunday
