THE KLF
The KLF are among the founding conceptual inspirators of my entire creative ouvre, so i figured i should post some of these videos i've been digging up on youtube for your inspiration & entertainment. I feel particularly connected to the KLF because one of their founding members: Jimmy Cauty started out as an underground comix style fantasy artist (do a search for his Lord of the Rings poster which rules) & then went on to all of this discordian stadium house futurism. It's bloody important!
The KLF "3 AM Eternal" This video was the first larger exposure the KLF had in the USA. You would hear Doctorin' the Tardis occassionally on the radio, or some of their ambient stuff on college radion, but in general, they were unknown. Still are! Anyhow, this video totally hit me because it's all Bladerunnered out, which is my favorite movie of all time. I've seen it around 50 times. Not that i'd just sit around watching it all the time, i'd put it on & work on projects while it was on, so i suppose i'm cheating. If you notice, all clocks in my drawings are pointed to 3:00 am. But recently, the time has changed to 2:10.
The Timelords "Doctoring the Tardis"
The Jams "It's Grim up North"
The KLF "Last Train to Tran central"
The KLF "White Room Promo" (the song is a remix from "Chill Out")
The KLF "Rites of Mu" (Wicked!)
The KLF "The White Room Pt. I"
Here is their youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/klfcommunication
Official website? Looks like it. http://www.klf-communications.net/
