THE KLF - The Rites of Mu

KLF are back, yet they never went away. Fall down the rabbit hole & find the KLFRS... ssshhhhhh... or ssshhhhhhout it out... or ssshhhhhhare it, there are no rules, it's art if you say it's art. These guys opened my mind as a teenager, they planted the seed which lead me to walk the path searching for Mu Mu land. They're back just when we needed them the most.

Thank you KLF. You are justified. You are ancient. You drive an ice cream van.

Love Martyn xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xx

"Doctor Who on Holiday" by Dean Gray (ft. Green Day & The Timelords)

I forgot this gem of a KLF song existed

[laboitediabolique]

Cover of the 7 inch single for The Timelords "Doctorin' the Tardis", KLF Communications, May 1988.

This was a one off novelty record by the KLF under the name The Timelords which was created when the group were going to make a house record using the Doctor Who theme song, but discovered it only worked using beats sounding very much like Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Parts 1 and 2". Giving up on their original plan, they decided to make a novelty record incorporating not only the Doctor Who theme with the Gary Glitter song, but also sampling The Sweet's "Block Buster!". In addition the song uses the catchphrase from Harry Enfield's comedy character Loadsamoney and the "You what?" chant from Steve Walsh's "I Found Lovin'", both distorted to sound like a Dalek.

Not wanting to put their image to the song, the duo decided to use Cauty's 1968 Ford Galaxie American police car, formerly known as the JAMsmobile, as the "frontman", renaming it Ford Timelord. In one TV media appearance, the car was actually interviewed (which was in reality Drummond via a microphone). Cauty and Drummond also claimed that Ford gave them instructions on how to make the record.

Hated by the music press, the single went to number one for one week exactly in the UK in June 1988 as well toping the charts in New Zealand, reaching number 2 in Australia and and also reaching the top 10 in Belgium, Finland, Ireland and Norway. Buoyed by the single's success, Cauty and Drummond cashed in further by rerecording and rereleasing the single with new vocals from Gary Glitter himself. In 1989, the KLF released a book, The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way), which Austrian dance music group Edelweiss used as a template to produce their number one hit single, "Bring Me Edelweiss".

Every once in a while I think about

the KLF, otherwise known as the JAMS, otherwise known

as the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu but mostly I think about that one single they released

as the Timelords, ostensibly with a new member of the group known as Ford Timleord - a custom 1968 Ford Galaxie that was listed as one of the artists on the album

Anyway I think about Ford Timelord every once in a while

Yes they get Letter Noodles when they are small but some never seem to grow out of enjoying the childish dish.

Donna Noble really got in the TARDIS and on trip number ONE like ONLY the FIRST trip she was like we are going to change history to save a single family because that is how it should work so that is how it does and then on trip number TWO on the SECOND trip she was like we are going to destroy an entire culture of slavery because it is right I don't care if we're two people and then on the THIRD trip she was like I am going to be unbelievably brave to save my home and everyone I love and then on the FOURTH trip she was like no living breathing thinking creature is less than a person and how dare you try to dehumanise someone like that how dare you not give her a name and the list GOES ON this woman NEVER MISSED there goes one of the kindest bravest most constant women you might ever meet and she's a temp from Chiswick

Robbing a bank. robbing a whole bank. Beat that for a date ;)

[yesokayiknow]

i 100% do not believe any of the doctor's 'wow what a cool and fun thing to just happen! anyway' bs btw. i think the doctor went through such an extreme identity crisis that was originally triggered by the timeless child discovery and compounded with literal millennia of unsolved trauma that they literally split in two

We don't appreciate enough how vampires are no only canon in Dr. Who but also a major plot thing and very poweful. The time lords, the oldest civilization, the time travel guys fought a WAR with the VAMPIRES and had to trap them in another UNIVERSE. And they're not even embarassed of this, the writers I mean. They bring it up constantly because that's what Dr. Who is like. Our horrifying murdering time-travelling blood cult? Yes we will definitely bring up the vampires again here. If you don't like it go watch Star Trek
