Your guide to The KLF, pop music’s original pranksters
They’re justified and they’re ancient, and they’re coming back after a 23 year hiatus – dive into the weird world of the music world conceptualists.
2017: What the fuck is going on? After embarking on a 23 year, self-inflicted hiatus, The KLF are back in an attempt to answer that question. Formed in 1987 by Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, The KLF made destroying the mainstream music industry their mission, and – perhaps inadvertently – became the embodiment of a country gripped by rave culture in the process. Many a time The KLF attempted to be the undoing of their own success without ever really achieving it. Instead, intent on self-destruction, they somehow became untouchable. To some, they were artistic visionaries, to others, a novelty act – but that’s where their beauty lied. Extraordinarily self-aware of their place within music and the wider art world, The KLF’s mission was to confuse, and whether you loved or hated them you can’t dispute that that’s exactly what they did. In a time when reality has become stranger than fiction, Drummond and Cauty’s return may be the reminder we need to realise just how absurd things can really become. With that, all aboard to Trancentral as we run down 26 ways The KLF are a band who should never have existed.

Prince's Music Could Be Available To Stream Soon
Prince's music could soon be available to stream on Spotify and Apple Music with his estate currently working on securing deals with the streaming platforms.
The estate of Prince Rogers Nelson, one of the few musicians unavailable on most streaming services, is closing in on deals that will pave the way for the artist’s music to play at major outlets like Spotify and Apple Music, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Representatives of Prince, who died in April at age 57, have all but finished a deal for songs like “Purple Rain” and “When Doves Cry” to be played in public, said the person, who asked not to be named because the talks are private. The estate is also nearing a deal with a record label, the person said, without being more specific. Both are preludes to streaming agreements.

Travel To The Moon With David Bowie 360 Video
NPR's YouTube channel, Skunk Bear, answers your science questions — and this week we picked one in honor of David Bowie. Bowie was born on January 8 - the artist would have been 70 on Sunday. Today, January 10, marks the first anniversary of his death. Bowie filled his songs with references to space, and his first big hit, "Space Oddity," was released just days before humans first walked on the moon.

Are pop conceptualists The KLF returning in 2017?
The disruptive UK duo once burned £1 million and refused to talk about it for 23 years – as that anniversary approaches, a 45-minute documentary about the band has now appeared.
The KLF, one of pop music’s most subversive groups, broke up in 1992 by deleting their entire back catalogue, teaming up with Extreme Noise Terror at the BRIT Awards, taking a machine gun on stage, and shooting the audience with blanks. After their retirement, the duo of Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty formed the K Foundation with the royalties they made with the band and proceeded to wreak havoc on the art world. Eventually they decided to burn £1 million in August 1994 for a piece titled K Foundation Burn A Million Quid.

Happy 20th, MP3-Piracy!
Gestern war der 20ste Jahrestag des ersten „illegalen“ MP3-Rips, die Compress 'Da Audio-Release-Group hatte damals die erste MP3-Sammlung per FTP-Server online gestellt. Es gab andere Release-Groups, die bereits vorher MP3s rippten, hatten aber anscheinend nicht denselben Impact auf die grade entstehende MP3-Scene.)

Public could soon purchase Prince's Paisley Park palace
An iconic piece of Prince's history could soon be up for grabs to anyone with millions to spare. The late pop star's Paisley Park mansion is ready to be sold by his bank, along with his other properties, according to court documents obtained by the Daily News. Paisley Park — the 60,000-square-foot Minnesota estate where the singer was found dead of a drug overdose in April — is estimated to be worth nearly $7 million, while the other parcels put together were valued at more than $21 million total, the documents read.

Celebrating 'Revolver': Beatles' First On-Purpose Masterpiece
1966: the most manic of the Beatlemania years. The lads get chased around the world, playing 25-minute sets that have nothing to do with the increasingly complex music they're exploring in the studio. A long-forgotten John quote about religion – "We're more popular than Jesus now" – gets dug up and creates a scandal in America. A Ku Klux Klan protest outside their Memphis show draws 8,000 people. The butcher cover gets censored. The drugs get heavier – Paul dabbles in cocaine, John dabbles in acid. George gets serious about Indian music and religion. Ringo starts a construction company called Bricky Builders. And in their spare time, the Beatles make the greatest rock album ever, Revolver, released on August 5th, 1966 – an album so far ahead of its time, the world is still catching up with it 50 years later. This is where the Beatles jumped into a whole new future – where they truly became the tomorrow that never knows.

An Easy Extraction: The Top 100 Albums Of 2016 So Far
To me, musically at least, the year doesn't really kick off until the moment our mid-year chart is published. Then it finally feels like I can breathe out. That things are rolling at last. Editing a music website is like constantly being in that weird fugue state that comes over most people in record shops. "Man... I know I actually like music but made by which groups, singers and producers? I know once I get home I'll be able to think of 38 LPs and a whole bunch of EPs I really want but right now I can't call to mind a single thing I'm into." So you walk out of the shop with yet another copy of Station To Station by David Bowie. Just in case something happens to the other seven copies you own. Speaking as someone who runs a music magazine, this temporary sonic amnesia can be overwhelming. I constantly seem to be at a music festival saying: "Errrrrrr... Nope. Can't think of a single thing..." to the eminently reasonable question: "Have you heard any good music recently?"

Pink Floyd to release rarity-packed 27-disc set of their early years
Thought that 18-CD set of everything Bob Dylan recorded in 1965 and 1966 was the last word in period-specific artist box sets? Think again. Pink Floyd have announced a new box set, The Early Years 1965-1972, which will comprise 27 discs – both CDs and DVD/Blu-ray discs. It will contain seven hours of previously unreleased live audio, and more than 15 hours of video. The Early Years 1965-1972 is released on 11 November.
