He's currently working on a graduate degree. The boy has a 300-plus IQ. Michael was the youngest child on record to enter college - age six and a half - and the youngest graduate - age 10 - when he got his degree in antropology last year at the University of South Alabama. Michael will attend Middle Tennessee State University, which has offered him something similar to a full-time graduate assistanship, in order not to violate child labor laws. When asked if he will join a fraternity, Michael responded: "Glug, glug, glug, I'll bring the Kool-Aid." His sister, Maeghan, finished high-school at the age of 9. Both kids were mostly home-taught by their parents. "He's been trying to take over the family since he was 3," his father, Kevin, said. "I used education as a scam, to divert him so Dad could stay in charge." Michael's ambition for the moment is to become a game show host. "That's a passion we have to accept," his father said.

The sleeve also ad= ds that "Peace in the House is the official interstellar anthem of HTFC"; reminisent of the KCC sleeve. The track listing is: 1. Anthem Peace in the House 2. The Blue and White Room 3. Anthem (K Stadium House mix). Track 1 is basically IGUN with the bassline from Kylie Said To Jason with= the names of footballers rather than Northern Towns. Track 3 is the musi= c only but a little longer. Track 2 is mostly spoken word/football commentary, the Blue and White refers to the clubs colours. I hpoe this helps some-one.

Orb stuff has a theme of approriating slogans as little jokes - remember Blue Room CD with its 'An Orb is for life & not just for xmas'. & On a non KLF, and infact ORB mailing list theme, it was good to see 'Sleeper' on Channel Izzard this weekend, with it's 'Orb' drugs & 'Hello - I'm Rags' as sampled on Towers of Dub. > Anyone now more about it? & Lets be honest here, what's going on? Getting pre-millenial nostalgic about crappy music industry slogans, incouraging us NOT to liberate the copyright of music? Why not disucss the merits on the milk marketing boards sensational campains of the mid-eighties? Alan Parker (Urban Warrior) did a routine wihich went something like : If home taping is killing music, then let's use it to kill the music we hate. I.e. Phil Collins. He went on to suggest that we tape loads of his albums, & give them away free. Phil Collins must die, along with all those people who say 'Okay - you don't like his music - but you have to admit he is an excelent drummer.' Who gives a fuck if his drumming is good, when : a. He doesn't sing - he bleats. b. If he's not singing about some woman giving him the hump - then he's being pious & sanctimonious about the homeless. c. His act is 'singing plumber'. Where is the glamour? His music is for people who are too scared to be reminded what it is to feel alive. d.

Count Lubineski mentioned something about Pure Trance 5... I picked it up over a year or 2 ago now for about 20 - 30 quid I think. It's in top condition, although I think about half of them were pressed and then warped - resulting in very poor quality play. As for the 2 versions themselves, one version is basically very very similar to the LTTT part of Chill Out, although maybe longer slightly... The other is very minimal trancey-house stuff - with the recognised LTTT instrumental (theme from Big Country ? bit) in the middle, along the same lines as the WTIL pure trance original version - - very basic, but very nica ll the same. The cover is black with a huge pink 5 on it, from what i can remember, haven't seen any other copies around though, but I know a coupla other peeps on the list have theirs safely stashed at home.

Firstly I haven't seen the tracklist posted here, so if anyone's in any doubt, here it is: 1. ***K THE MILLENIUM [Censored Radio Edit] 4:19 2. ***K THE MILLENIUM [Original Version] 13:55 3. ***K THE MILLENIUM [Radio Edit] 4:18 4. ACID BRASS/WHAT TIME IS LOVE [Version K] 4:30 5. ACID BRASS/WHAT TIME IS LOVE [Version P - Royal Oak Mix] 5:23 6. ACID BRASS/WHAT TIME IS LOVE [Original Version] 4:39 Sad trainspottery bit: Track 1 has been extended by a _whole second_! ...at the end, where a "Jimmy" can be heard which IMO was too faint to be heard properly on the UK version. Believe me, you're not missing much though... Track 2 has been _cut_ by four seconds! Basically the "we want it now" which echoes around for a while at the end of the UK version gets cut abruptly four seconds earlier than it gets cut abruptly on the UK FTM. Track 3's the same as the UK... Track 4 has been cut by a second! The resonant cymbal at the end gets cut earlier. Quite why somebody has bothered to re-cut these tracks I have _no idea_, but I promise it's true... Track 5 is the version that only appeared on the UK 12". I haven't had time to compare it with the UK 12" yet, you'll be pleased to hear. Track 6 is new (or at least, I haven't heard it before). It's a _live_, non-studio version of the Acid Brass / What Time Is Love, replete with slight mistakes, & a good crowd applause at the end. Much more of a "fun" feel to it than track 4, but a bit more jumpy as well. Not-so-trainspottery bit: The stickers are nice; four stickers- (1) one of the Pyramid Blaster, which is good, a "2K" one which is also good, a "This Is Not The KLF" sticker which is just odd, and a sticker that's meant to look like a road-sign, with "KLF" written on it and crossed out by a grey line. Quite funky. The inlay is quite funky, but except for the first and last pages it's completely in Japanese, which sadly I don't understand... Interestingly it describes the CD as the "Japan only mini-album", but at 37 minutes I'd say it was more of a long single than a short album. The general layout is a carefully done Japanese copy of the original artwork, but with only minor differences which it would be very sad of me to pick up on or even notice... Anyway, time to take my anorak off...

Due to the tremendous risks he's taking and not knowing all that is involved in actually pressing a cd (rather than burning) I'm being very forgiving. However, if a year passes from the time I wrote out my check... Anyway, Have a Credit Card Christmas and a Happy Mu Year. - -paul - - # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info klf" in the message. # Postings must go to klf@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # KLF discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?klf ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Dec 1997 16:17:20 -0800 From: "Gulliver Flynn" Subject: (klf) Strange Email from site.manager@k2... I got something very "interesting" in the email this afternoon. Let me preface this by explaining something... When I first joined the KLF list, it was at the mention of someone on the PWEI list that things were going on over here at the KLF list, and to check out the then new K2 site. I fired off an email to the email address at the K2 site and never heard word one. Today, I got an email from said address with a something added to it. A pic no less.... a pic of a pyramid with Di's face, err, image, hovering over it. Interesting is all I can say.
