And guess what? The bitches behind Abba have struck again. Most Abba songs have been removed from Napster so it seems they have done the same thing they did with 1987 to Napster. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info klf" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email klf@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # KLF discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?klf ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 21:16:19 -0000 From: "Thug" Subject: RE: (klf) Abba vs KLF and Napster Okay, so maybe this was flame bait, but I've just been rereading "Will Pop Eat Itself" by Jeremy J Beadle (found it for £3 in Queensway) so these thoughts have been at the front of my mind anyway. > This may be slightly OT but I think it does have something to do > with The KLF. I have just been on Napster since they started > taking off songs that were copyrighted and for a bit of fun I > decided to do a search for Abba (to see if Abba have done the > same thing they did to 1987). No matter which way you slice it, Abba were well within their rights when it came to coming down on 1987 like a tonne of bricks. 'The Queen and I' uses excessively large "samples" (it's almost 'Dancing Queen' with samples added, really), and it places them in a context which not all artists would particularly like. Why *shouldn't* they have done what they did? When Bill and Jimmy went to Sweden at the last minute, they weren't going there to claim that Abba had no right to do what they were doing. (They did.) They were just going to see if they could come to an arrangement (such as happens with most samples used these days.) And really, in all honesty, I've never believed that Bill and Jimmy really cared enough, or maybe even wanted, to "save" their album. If they were serious about making a deal, why not just pick up a phone, rather than making an 11th hour trip by sea only to arrive too late for anyone to be at the offices? Why burn copies on the way back, rather than just returning them to the distributors like the record stores were doing? And why write the whole lot up and get the story told in NME, unless really all they wanted was some interesting press and a good story to add to the KLF "mystique". Looked at from this perspective, Abba played right into their hands. > And guess what? The bitches behind Abba have struck again. > Most Abba songs have been removed from > Napster so it seems they have done the same thing they did with > 1987 to Napster. Not sure about your use of gender here, since Abba were both male and female, and indeed, Benny and Bjorn wrote most of the music, whereas the girls usually just performed, so it would probably be those "bastards" that are behind it if anything. (More likely it's their record company, or even their American distributor.) But it's also crazy to try to equate the 1987 situation with the Napster situation, except to say that both involve blatent theft of intellectual property. But if anything, Napster is an even more clear-cut case. Is this the cue to start the whole "why do some people expect to get their KLF music for nothing" thread again? Michael (Incidentally, I've used Napster many times to sample music, or to grab live and/or extended mixes that I couldn't otherwise get. I've even grabbed tracks I just liked a number of times too. And I actually believe all this cracking down by Napster is futile anyway, since there will always be loopholes, or something else will just come along to replace it. I just don't kid myself that Copyright law isn't being broken every second.) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info klf" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email klf@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # KLF discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?klf ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 23:32:12 +0100 From: "Torsten Pattberg" Subject: Re: (klf) music on tv > Trigger Happy TV on Britain's E4 plays "Build a Fire" > during one of the pranks.

Hi there everyone, just a quick email to let you all know that my vids have arrived back from marek safe&sound - so i'm now ready for a quiet bottle of wine and perusing the white room movie once more in the comfort of my home ! In addition to that package arriving thru the post, the kompetition cds arrived back from stuart. 3 nicely grouped cds with a huge collection of interpretations on them...i'll just take this opportunity to say that you're all barking mad ! most of them made me chuckle quite a bit, don't know if i've got a definite favourite though. On a completely other topic, don't know if anyone's noticed, but HMV in Oxford St, London have loads of vinyl copies of Space up for grabs throughout their shop. I haven't examined these any further, but I expect they're coming from the same source as the 1987 and chill out repress/bootleg/reissues...maybe worth checking out if you don't have a copy already. cheerio neil ps - i've just got my mitts on a kaoss pad, wicked fun, looking forward to monkeying around with various klf tracks myself ! ___________________________________________ It's amazing what happens when you breathe. www.breathe.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info klf" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email klf@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # KLF discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?klf ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 09:12:11 +0100 From: Anders Hultman Subject: (klf) Wanda Dee and the KLF Hello list.

Recently, I had a women and her husband audition for Les Liaisons Dangereuses, and her name was Wanda Dee and she said she was KLF. Now...I was raised in England, and I remember KLF, and I somewhat remember the voice...but I knew they were two men. Well, to make a long story short...she has turned out to be a nightmare!!!!! I ended up firing her, and would love to have more information on who she is and what she is. Do you have any of this information? I would love it if you did!!!
