Another day, another KLF podcast.
Eternal, etc.
And so here we have Miranda Sawyer with an hour of KLF conversation as part of her Talk 90’s To Me series.
Miranda is great with her understanding of promotion of all things 90’s. She was there and pretty much lived the dream.
Her constant laughter on the KLF pod is a little grating - a minor irritant. I think it’s the subject matter of what is quite a dark story that doesn’t lend itself to the bubbly narration.
Joining Miranda on the pod is Joe Muggs, here to plug his latest cover feature on the KLF for Disco Pogo magazine. He knows his Transcentral backstory.
It remains a magical tale, and one that I’ve not quite exhausted. But there is a sense of allowing the well to run dry with these art terrorist anecdotes.
The KLF squeezed so much into a relatively short period. The stories are getting repeated across various pods, with a different type of truth emerging at the other end each time.
Which is VERY Discordian in outlook.
It’s similar to all the Clough stories over the years. I can now no longer listen to the endless podcasts and YT clips with stories from the Great Man. I’ve heard them all before.
I’m not even going to touch the latest Sex Pistols podcast on BBC Sounds. How many times can you tell the story of overflowing bins in Leicester Square and Bill Grundy?
The 90’s pod though is definitely worth a listen. The section on burning the million quid gets quite deep and shines a new light on the whole spectacle.
I did like the quote that the KLF “aren’t the Pet Shop Boys.”
There’s also some well researched segments that bring the story up to date. The KLF may be dead, but the story isn’t.
MuMumification day is coming up on Merseyside on the 23rd, natch.
They’re still BONKERS, they’re still kicking against the pricks.
