Re: [KLF] Lydon on Blacksmoke
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. ======================================== Message date : Apr 06 2005, 06:03 PM
From : "Tony Stuart" To : "All bound for Mu-Mu Land." Copy to : 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. _______________________________________________ KLF mailing list KLF@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/klf Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com www.clsm.net -- 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
