bill drummond on swedish tv

Hi, By accident I happened to watch a program called Kobra on Swedish Television yesterday. The subject of the evening was Money, which didn't sound interesting at all but I just kept the TV going. After ten minutes or so they started talking about what you would do if you had 15 million swedish crowns (roughly 1 million pounds), and that catched my attention... It all turned into a seven minutes long documentary about KLF, with focus on the money burning, money as art (nailed to the wall) and so on. The documentary contained, in addition to old material showing the money burning, a lot of fresh comments by Bill and Gimpo, specially made for this program. Bill talked about the money burning, why they quit with The KLF, about modern pop music artists and art and more. Gimpo commented the money burning and the following tour. Swedish people can catch the show again on TV, Monday 29/11 at 16.05 or Tuesday 30/11 at 23.20. The rest of you can watch the show at (all interviews are in english of course): http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=20522 Just scroll down to the bottom and click the link "Se hela programmet". Or just use this direct link: http://svt.se/content/1/c6/29/20/80/041125kobra.ram The KLF part begins 9 minutes into the show (the actual documentary starts at 9 min 45 sec). Cheers Par, Sweden

Hi everyone, In the middle of moving home I've lost the tracklist and the artwork for the LSOM3 CDR. Could someone who received a copy please send me a scan of the cover and the tracklist, please? Also possibly send it to Marco, too. Thanks, John -- Whatever you Wanadoo: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/time/ This email has been checked for most known viruses - find out more at: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/help/id/7098.htm

I disagree. I was actually surprised how consistent the sound progression was with the album Fat of The Land without being a carbon copy. Even better is the fact that there seems to be less "Keef". The cover of The 5 Dimension's, "Up, Up and Away" is surprisingly good when considering the softness of the original. "The Way It Is" seems to borrow the best parts MJ's Thriller which makes for cool track just begging to be mixed with the original. On the other hand I can't stand the female vocal on "Get Up Get Off." Ruins the song for me... That's just me.

Fun Buggy, by Tunnock McNulty, out now (Loughville Press) With a foreward by KLF's Bill Drummond, this has to be something special. It's a sugar-fuelled poetic rollercoaster through the seams of Scotland; Granton, Inverclyde, Faifley, Easter Road, linked by the cut glass bottles of our very own brands of 'pop' - Limeade, Krystal Klear, and of course the Bru. Once you're hooked into it's snarling rhythm you're best not to stop until the very last gulp - peaking with a diatribe against Coca-Cola and its all-American heritage, the best images here are those of Scotland: the chip shops, the arcades, the muddy fields where kids amped up on cheap speed and Red Kola burn Time. Brilliant.

Also, the complete lack of commercial success for KSTJ was a bit of a kick up the arse for B & J (did they really think anyone in the high street was really interested in their road movie, I wonder?) and out of it, eventually, came both ambient and stadium house. "Baby's Got a Temper" on the other hand (which had a sense of humour in its video) seemed to be a last gasp of the Prodge's commercial career - all we can hope for now is more undeground magic. And, of course, that the new album keeps Nicolatalie Appleton and the two Liams in chav gear and drugs for the next ten years. ;-) John AS for the KSTJ relations, well the KLF guys had some > sense of humour (see the lyrics, or hear their send-up KLF-version of Kylie > tracks). > -- Whatever you Wanadoo: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/time/ This email has been checked for most known viruses - find out more at: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/help/id/7098.htm

1997 was a long time ago, I suppose. Although the video for "Baby's Got a Temper" was funny.
