The KLF was the first 'band' I ever became a fan of, back when I was 8 or so. I remember saving up my pocket money to buy a cassette of The White Room. But burning a million pounds is an unequivocal dick move. It's utterly futile to begin with, and there are literally a billion better things they could have done with it, no matter what their political or social beliefs. It's spitting in the face of anyone, ever, anywhere, who has gone hungry for lack of a dollar, who's foregone medical treatment due to poverty, who's ever suffered any deprivation at all.

+Buffoon1980 I think they once commented on how differently the "backlash" would be if instead of burning the money, they spent it all on drugs or something. Think about how many wealthy people spend that much money on drugs, or even useless shit that only serves to flaunt their status or for their own pleasure. What difference does a measly million pounds make when it could just as easily be spent on a car or a house or some kind of stock market pawn for personal gain?

shoegazefan It's an interesting point, and something I have thought about. Drugs, sure, that would be basically just as contemptible, in many ways, although it would be a much more interesting case to argue. At the very least, they would have got something out of that (not necessarily a good something, but it would have been less nihilistically futile). Car, house, stock market, to a greater or lesser extent these are valid choices in our capitalist society and rich people buying them are not a bad thing (unless you have problems with capitalism, which might also be valid). While buying personal luxuries may not be a moral positive, they're not a negative in the way that burning money is, IMO.

At the time of the brits I worked night security at Marcus Music in london. I say night security it was more like ordering taxi's, equipment, drugs and food for the artists. KLF were block booked in studio two. they'd probably been there a week before the awards. Now my memory is a bit hazy but I was working the night of the awards. I dont think they were on TV live but it must have been aired on the same night. I had a little portable TV on the desk and a video player and I had recorded the show because we knew they were on. Extreme Noise Terror rocked up at door sometime in the small hours (they were staying at the studio that night) absolutely loaded. we watched the tape and I seem to remember the bass player being super pissed that he couldnt hear his bass. Shortly after they disappeared to the bar and that really was that. The Next day though the KLF didnt turn up or the next or the next or ever again. A few days after or whenever the next edition of music week came out they had taken out a full page ad announcing that they had left the music business. I know its not much of a story but i thought i'd share

"Before the other gods, there was Mumu, the god of chaos" This is from the "Illuminatus!" trilogy from the mid/late 70s, by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson, and was where the name "Justified Ancients of Mumu" (aka "the JAMS") came from. the Timelords and KLF founders were obsessed with these books. References the the Ancients of Mumu are found in the chants in 3am Eternal and especially Justified And Ancient (which featured the late, great country music songstress Tammy Wynett). The KLF was insanely popular in the 90s, with videos played in heavy rotation on MTV, with fans taking the group as seriously as Mariah Carey and every other pop performer, with no clue what the inspiration or intent was. Basically, the KLF was to the music business what Andy Kaufman was to comedy. Either you get the joke, or you take it seriously and become the punch line!

What is important in the context of burning a million pounds: They first had the million pounds nailed to a wooden wall and tried to show it in art galleries. But no gallery would show it, claiming insurance/security problems. (Which is strange, because most galleries show even more expensive art). As a reaction, the KLF (as The K Foundation) instated a price for worst art and handed it to the winner of the Turner prize for best art. On the same evening:) These guys were, and still are, FOR REAL!

The "YMCA" is a staple of sport events and family theme restaurants when it's a song about cruising for dick at the Y ….and they had Halloween costumes of the "Leatherman" and "Cowboy" marketed to 6 -12 year olds made by Collegeville that you could buy at K-Mart.

Excellent job as always Sam. A lot of ground covered in this vid, but there's a lot more layers to the KLF story, incredible how much stuff they did in 5yrs or so. Their first project together was the album "1987 (What the Fuck is Going on?)" in that year. I reckon it's one of the first British rap albums ever released, and it's full of Illuminati references and unlicensed samples. One of them ("Dancing Queen" by Abba) earned the duo a lawsuit and took the album from the shelves; so for their next act, they travelled by car/ferry to Sweden accompanied by a NME reporter (and all remaining copies of the record) to have a meeting with the Swedes. Unsurprisingly, they failed their goal, so they burned the records in some remote farm - whose owner later shot at their car. They got towed back to England by the AAA or something. Also, the Chill Out album is amazing.

Came to comment 'this better be The KLF' without watching. Yay, I was correct! Now everyone go find the leaked copy of 'The White Room' that is out there!

You should check out Drummonds book '45' about the things he did during his 45th year including travelling around the M25 25 times.

It was real money what they had bought from the royal mint for about £700 i think it was, It was going to be burnt anyway at the royal mint has it was old money and no longer in use and when they burnt it their was a guy their from the royal mint to verify it had been burnt on site and to inspect the ash. It's true they did it and i'm a old raver from back in the day 88-93.

Someone please explain to me why they burned that money? Was it to make a statement that main stream music didn't own them and that they have free will? I'm confused- clarification would be awesome!

What statement are you trying to make by burning a bunch of money that could be used to for someone else who needed it? If it's solely a publicity stunt it's heinously irresponsible.

I love the KLF. One of my all time favourite bands. Their "Chill Out" album is one of the greatest ever and as a whole they were more punk than most punk bands.

I bet that wasn't real money they burned. It's much harder to fake cutting your hand off.

Then you lose, it's documented that this is real money, they even tried to frame it for an exhibition, but after the 1 pund "art" and a few more" the art galleries said no. These two should get their own movie, for the story is much longer and complicated that this one...their first album was stopped in court after two guys in Sweden did not like that it was mainly made of ABBA samples. On the second albumcover you see them burning the rest of the first album on a farm area, where they got almost shoot by the Lord that owned it that did not like a fire on his property...

I've been a fan of the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu/The KLF/Disco 2000, since 1987, and their '1987: What The Fuck Is Going On?' album, and prior to that, the 'All You Need Is Love' 12", and it's 7" version, which is actually their woodwind player, Duy Khiem, singing a traditional Vietnamese song accapella. Yes, really. I own pretty much everything they ever released, except the tracks they titled 'Deep Shit'. Labels and sleeves were printed, but no music. They would remix remixes, that might only be on release for a few days. I have their 'Stadium House' VHS - but nothing to play it on. Messrs. Drummond and Cauty don't seem keen on their past: a superfan brought their old police car 'Ford Timelord' back from the dead, and drove it to where they were appearing in a set of lectures. On seeing the vehicle parked outside, Drummond and Cauty found some paint, and covered the car with it. A video exists of this, and you can see that the two members of the 'Kopyright Liberation Front' were definitely not happy. As the car's hapless owner tries to drive off - not easy when your windows have been painted over - Cauty throws a partially full bucket of paint at the departing car. The K.L.F. have left the limelight. Oh, and my younger brother knew some of the blokes from Extreme Noise Terror from when he was at school.

The KLF invented trolling and are more than likely veterans on 4chan. If my memory serves me correctly.. the two dudes from KLF were behind the big crop circle hoaxes in the early 90s too.
