"Really big secret"

[Sasperella]

Obama would most definitely be huge alright... Surely its not possible tho, with that fee? 

Actually I have no idea.... $400,000 for a speech seems such a ridiculous figure to me that its actually rendered meaningless. 

But, surely it can't be him...can it??

Cheaper than burning a million quid

So no progress on what the surprise is then? 

[zico martin]

I think the surprise is there is no surprise. 

Well done EE

I reckon it is The Pope. Just because.

Ok....I have a confession to make. I had never heard of The KLF until Franky mentioned it on that thread (sorry!!). I don't know why...judging from the videos, maybe I'm too young?? Or maybe my friends weren't cool enough. Did they burn a million quid? Whats this business with cows and sheep? I have no clue

I have however heard of Pearl Jam and that would indeed be ace :-D

Do some reading up on them. very interesting characters and story. Music sounds a little dated these days but you will know the tunes even if you did not know who they were by.

I'll definitely do a bit of research with how excited some people are at the (probably unlikely) prospect of them playing.

I'm 29, should I have heard of them?

Also, if you're anything like the mate I have in his 40s who goes to Glastonbury then you can probably out drink most of us younger ones!

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Have a look at this to find out more. Less a band - more a bunch of trouble causers. Oh lord do we need them now

Double whammy, Diana Ross in the legends slot and Obama.

Well I was probably 16/17 when they were at peak popularity so you'd have been a tot. They were pretty much all over the place at the time and you couldn't go anywhere without hearing them, from student bars to cheesy night clubs they were all over. 

Sort of a precursor to the rave scene so regarded by many as influential although at the time I recall there being a lot of hype about them. 

It's unsurprising you probably haven't heard of them but in the event it is them you should check it out. They'll put on a show and the hype will all kick off again no doubt. 

As for the drink, we'll without any other substances I normally keep going til 4am most nights of the festival. Only on cider. My trick is to take in food regularly and the occasional cup of tea to level me out a bit.

Pretty embarrassing time to not be on the Lorde bandwagon when she's already dropped two of the jams of the year.

One of which you labelled "okay but a bit sub-Swizzle" heheh. Hype train was just about to leave and you was all...

@Trout Mask Replica

I'm 31 so I guess we just missed the boat!! They sound mental though. My internet isnt good enough to watch anything on youtube sadly, but at least ive got myself some bedtime reading. I need to know why they burnt a million dollars!!!

[John the Moth]

I'm old enough to remember KLF in their heyday, always thought of them as a bit of a novelty act. They made me feel the same way as I imagine I would if faced with my mum saying "I'm cool, right? No? Ok I'm not cool, that's cool right? Saying you're not cool?"*

But that's just me, I'm glad others like them, happy others are happy

Read '17' by Bill Drummond. Waterstones in Lima has a copy. ;-)

[slash's hat]

I have a couple of vinyl klf singles in my collection...I'm 42 and feeling old now. Justified and ancient!

[rubenz]

I remember playing its grim up north a lot when I was a kid as it was on a copy of Now 20 that I had. Sandwiched between Go by Moby and PM Dawn.

It was a rave track with them reading out the name of Northern Towns with crow noises etc
