All Popjustice had to do today to win big was put 4 KLF videos on the same page of the internet.
When I was a young teen-ager, the KLF were the biggest band in Europe! They were two Scottish art-terrorists making techno records. I can't imagine such a conceit dominating popular music nearly 15 years on, which seems awfully sad, but maybe we all just went buck wild because the world was going to explode in the year 2000.
The last of the four (utterly preposterous) videos is when they performed their biggest hit with a death metal band at the Brit Awards, then quit making music forever. At the end you see Billy Bragg turn to someone and say "fuckin' hell", and he's right! Fuckin' hell!

I liked when they torched the million quid...
But I´ll never forgive them Mumu Land, I´m sorry but that´s just the way things are...
Ray have you read 45 by Bill Drummond? A great, self deprecating book that makes sense of his many follies.
He has a website here:
http://www.penkiln-burn.com
in which he encourages you to do things like make soup or cake, give away bunches of daffodils or ask people "Is God a C***?" (censored for the benefit of any small children who might be reading this).
I like Bill Drummond. I don't like all his ideas, but that's not the point. He's flawed, like all the best artists. And "45" is a great book. And the KLF rocked.
