Thanx for the info Raymond...yeah I was just vaguely aware of their activities (or at least the shadow of their activities) many years ago too...i'm sure there was a bunch of gigs/events in Bristol in the early-mid 90s as I remember the posters and thinking...huh? Do they still use the 'shop-putting' method of distribution for their 'music'? =)

But some of that other info is intriguing...I always thought there wasn't a 'real' Michael K and that was the point. It always kind of annoyed but fascinated me! Maybe I should contact Culf but I think he was a little too cryptic last time I asked hehe.

Perhaps there is a connection with the JAMs AKA The Alternate Jams who until recently could be found on mp3.com and were supposed to be concocting an 'album' called 2987...the last track they made available was 'NAO (Not Another Orgasm)' and was quite...literal. Fits in with the whole Michael K as Porn Baron thing anyway =)

Well actually there is a lot of X$X action around at
the moment although I've been too busy with college to
properly keep up.
'Michael K' (the proper one not one of his "clones")
has been active on a number of portals as 'Excess Sex'
and 'XSX' and seems to have been building some kind of
harem :)
I'm not currently running the yahoo group on X$X I set
up and its traffic was devastated by a stupid mistake
I made when I did but there's someone new doing it who
recently interviewed K and is in exclusive possession
of a whole load of new stuff because she's doing a
series of articles and possibly a book on K/X$X.
The whole thing has been going for at least 10 years
now and from what I've heard is a pretty compelling
story of subterranean activity punctuated by
occasional surfacings.
The problem at the moment is that K has asked us to
hold fire until the starting pistol is fired as it
were. But let's just say that the era of X$X as
'vapourware' is about to end.
I suggest keeping an eye on
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xdollarx
and www.michaelk.co.uk

I'll keep the list posted as much as i can meantime.
