KLF Communications

I've always loved the KLF.

I loved it when they burnt a million quid and I loved it when they deleted their entire back catalogue at the height of their fame, but unfortunately that meant that I never got to hear some of their best work.... until now.

You can use emule to get almost their entire back catalogue in a single download, but that wasn't enough for me :)

So I have been hunting around and these are my tips for the best sources of KLF material:

http://www.biglouis.de/klf/home/ - Loads of news and links... a great site.

http://www.biglouis.de/klf/home/ftp.php - Olav's ftp server works, the other one didn't.

http://www.blacksmoke.org/ - Jimmy Cauty's new project.

http://www.youwhores.com/ - A new Bill Drummond project.

http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?klf - A complete KLF discography.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/onemusic - Jimmy Cauty talks to OneMusic about his new project - Blacksmoke.

Bill Drummond's web site - Includes details of all of his other projects, including 'You Whores' and 'My Death'.

Blackspot Sneakers: An Anti-Corporation Corporation

"Blackspot sneakers. What an intriguing idea. A non-brand. An anti-brand. Its own brand. A shoe whose only advertising is the word of mouth of its owners, and the impact of the image of its wearers.

But then, I thought, why stop there? Why be an organization marketing an anti-brand, when it can become so much more than just that? Why not turn blackspot sneakers into an anti-corporation? Fight fire with fire. Make the shoes' owners the company's owners. Whenever someone buys a pair of blackspots, he or she is buying a share in blackspot sneakers. A cooperative. An anti-corporation."
