One guitar is all you need in some ways. Especially if you've got a lot of effects for it, and if the session musicians always bring their own instruments as well.

Not really a fair comment, since the ripsaws weren't on the record, so why must the two guitars have appeared on the record as well? The instruments and performers they had 'onstage' didn't have to have _any_ bearing on what was actually used to make the record. > yeah, but that was after the success of what time is love. the > original vid is just issac bello in a black room with a light in his > face rapping at the camera Sheer pedantry #2; actually he's standing in a dark corn field with a light on his face, I believe.

It was meant as a joke. This article was about popgroups who became famous by an important contribution to the house scene. This guy made an essay about the start of house music and if you do that, u cant leave the KLF out. He said sume really stupid things, like "the klf used 1 guitar", "there were 700 remixes of wtil", "they had a no1 as the JAMS". I mean, u must be *really* stupid to mention these kind of things :) So, guys, i am a KLF fan for over 10 years now, and by now, i know how it works :) It was meant as a joke about how dumb ppl can be.

We have a project in development, but Mr Cauty has decided to commit the rest of this year to his Paintings, and will not be recording any new material.

It's not clear why. Obviously they'd need the Duke's permission for this and a castle spokesman said that they weren't against the idea in principle because "it would provide work for local bricklayers". Right. The K foundation, however, seem to like tormenting small towns. Bill Drummond apparently cancelled his headline act at the Ilkley Literature Festival in 1998 and seems to have made the people of Ilkley seem to think this was done as a publicity stunt (!) according to an article I read in the Ilkley Gazette (who move their online archives around so much that I can't be bothered to keep altering the link but the front page is at www.ilkleygazette.co.uk). The organisers took a pragmatic, if controversial view "We have to deal with mad men and we have to take risks and book them." Quite so! And refreshingly honest.

That'd be an interesting idea! >maybe just give him a burnt cd of the remixes weve done. >or if thats not exciting enough, get 2 police cars and do a head on >collision performance at 23 miles per hour in front of the exhibition >then step out and hand him the disk. Okay... but questions do come forth.... A) Where the fuck are we gonna find 2 police cars?!?! Gonna lift em? B) Would we dare put the KLF Logo on them? ;) C) What would we do with the cars after the crash? Leave em with a stunned/bemused Jimmy and walk off singing a KLF song? Or do we do something like jump out, stand beside Jimmy and shout together; "NOW THAT'S ART!" and then give him the cd? D) Are we out of our freaking minds? :) [No comment] >but damn. this is such an oppurtunity for something like that. >just to pay respect to the guy. >he soooooo deserves it. I am seldom inclined to agree with statements such as this, but I do agree the man deserves mass respect. >im shocked hes doing this. i was working on a painting of the cover of >chill out. now i feel like ive almost been beat to it in a way. >i paint, so id be happy to get one or 2 in. we have until november. Nod :) Maybe someone could whip up a painting of a KLF cover other then chill out.. one with Jimmy on it and sell it ;) >does anyone know if bill or jimmy or even gimpo read this mail list? I know Underworld occasionally does theirs and Moby apparently does so every few months.. so I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy and Bill n Gimpo have been as well. Hell! I got a smashing idea!!! If we don't give Jimmy a cd right away, let's inform him of the contest! Tell him all the vitals, where to get the tracks and ask his opinion on the mixes... what he likes, what he hates... hell... maybe we may get this mysteriously uploaded submission that no one can identify the uploader from, release th Kompilation and suddenly find Jimmy did it ;) Fuck that'd own! :) Well that's it for my rants n shants... peace to you all.

It comes from me, yes it is a real mix that I found on a CD called "Immaculate Mixes", released here in Oz by Virgin, no it is not a remix by the KLF but by a guy called Ray Hedges, and it's only partially uploaded because my crappy phone line meant the modem cut out part way through, and because it's a 10Mb file I'm just waiting to make sure I have a better connection some time before I try to upload it again.

"oh, just about everything" is a crap answer, but all i could hear in my head was the sugarbabes track. I got a mention of the new Utah Saints stuff though.. dunno if that gained me back any kudos. for the record, he has another 4 canvas's all ready made up, just needs the ideas to put something on them. he needs at least those 4, maybe more, and then he wants to exhibit the lot in a carpark, the idea being you drive around and view the paintings.. as always, he was polite and didn't seem too pissed be bothered by 2 freak fanatics of his KLF era. and while i was searching for a cool and face saving way of making an exit, he told us how cool the view of them was from the other side of the street. which while true, i took be a very discrete and subtle way of telling us the f**k off. which we did. but if you are in the area on a sunday in november, go along and check it out. they are well worth the look. ..jai... - -- -- --- The most beautiful skys, as a matter of fact.
