i'm sure several of us will have noticed the happenings (or end of happenings) at klf.de would just like to say good luck thomas with whatever you do and i'm sure we will still see you here. thanks for keeping that site alive, it was a great resource for us klf-heads and will be missed but i'm sure we all understand how it is easy to create an online monster and these things can take over everything and even get kinda out of control if jammin wheeler still reads this (i should ask him!) perhaps he would nod in agreement i can't help wondering if klf-fandom should go underground for a while anyway. we need something new and i really think that will happen in the not too distant future, perhaps not necessarily new music from B & J, who knows... until then i am kinda inclined to let things go a little as i personally did between 93 and about 99, not sure how anyone else feels the funny thing is i think KLF were/are one of very few bands that can kinda take over your life but in a very unique way. its a kind of obsession you dont see very often, particularly when you consider at what they actually produced/achieved, and their own attitude towards their canon of work nowadays. sometimes obsessions can become unhealthy and a little stale tbc. --------------------------------- Be a better Globetrotter.

Creating a monster... now that's maybe the most fitting description of what happened. Parts of it still consisted of old code, so the whole thing reminded me more of Frankenstein's monster than a homogenous creation. It had become an affair of fixing leaks rather than just coding away, and... well, a complete stop and overhaul should bring back the fun for which I joined KLF Online in the first place. Anyway, Daniel and me decided to put the last version of the website back online again for everybody, as we feel that others shouldn't be punished for our burn-out (or mine, to be precise). There won't be any updates for quite some time, though. This means that the Art Of Chill review you mentioned before is online as well - http://www.klf.de/news/index.php?news_id=208
if jammin wheeler still reads this (i should ask him!) perhaps he would nod in agreement
Just made me think... how long has he been offline now? Ah, the old days of Mancentral... I am getting old.
the funny thing is i think KLF were/are one of very few bands that can kinda take over your life but in a very unique way. its a kind of obsession you dont see very often, particularly when you consider at what they actually produced/achieved, and their own attitude towards their canon of work nowadays. sometimes obsessions can become unhealthy and a little stale
I couldn't even point my finger towards one certain element of KLF history and say, "That's the reason why I became such an obsessive fan in the first place." It just happens and draws you in. Still, that's something special. Not many things have such an impact on my life nowadays. ..::// Thomas Touzimsky "Life Is Short, Eat Dessert First!" - Jaques Torres
Best wishes for Thomas whatever You do...hope klf.de won't go out as Mancentral did, but I'll understand if the guys decide to pull the plug totally. Maybe we should put up a huge banner on every defunct K site, bearing the words (for those who don't know amything about them) THE KLF WERE THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD

Hi everybody! As you all will have read Thomas has decided to head for other projects and rethink the whole KLF thing regarding the klf.de site. I have therefore had email contact with him and I will not let the whole page "die". The basic problem is that we have a site with potential but the code behind it has become much too weird. Hence Thomas' explanation. I am still thinking about what to do now. My wish would be to keep the site active enough to spread important news but the rate of postings will go down. That's for sure. If I have become clear about everything I will let the list know. Torsten (you still remember him, don't you?) wants to keep the site alive as well but we all do not have enough time at the moment to build up a whole new KLF Online. Please give us some time and it will be online again but there will definately be no changes for a longer time from now on. It's basically up to Thomas because I'm no programmer, however.
