Oh whatever, thats lame of him to get all high and mighty.

It does expose the great 'hype' ideas used by Jimmy to get interest.  A meeting with Royal mail, did they really care? 

Did they actually do a KLF gig in Amsterdam?  I know there is footage, but was that just great hype?  What time is love story... how many version were covers and how many were extras with funny names (i saw a copy of one of the covers).

Anyhow, i really like that looking at things from a different angle idea.

Subject : [KLF] Lydon on Blacksmoke
don't remember this ever getting a mention, from a John Lydon
interview last year..

http://www.fodderstompf.com/INTERVIEWS/john2.html

Can you tell us a bit about the Blacksmoke thing?

The flaming cheek of them of putting that out on the radio, without
asking me! Oh John won't mind he's an Anarchist' . Excuse me? I mean
it's so low in the background but it was the flaming cheek. And if
after all these years after KLF if that's all they can come up with, a
dodgy tape of me on a worktape, well you know... ! (laughs) It's an
insult, but only really to themselves.

Where does the vocal come from?

I did it years ago, but the music wasn't right, and I couldn't be
bothered to educate them. I was gonna make a record called 'In the
Year 2525' and I added an extra bit at the end to show I could take it
into any pattern I liked, 'cos the music they sent on a cassette was
fucking wrong, and I reminded them of that, and they couldn't get the
beat right so they scuppered the project, and then they ended up doing
it with Siouxsie Banshee, and I thought you aresholes, you know?
(laughs).

Is that the same backing track they used on the radio?

No they used a completely different tune, right, which was a real
scupper, a real nerve, and cheeky. Scott, you know, isn't it like
this, here's Mr Rotten, you want to use him, well fucking ask him! Ask
him and he'll give you the level you would fucking appreciate.

I thought the track sounded a bit like Ministry playing GSTQ, it
sounded like the same riff.

It probably is, it probably is. To me it's not worth bothering with
them, to behave like that, they should be on a higher level.
