Second part of the KLF story (part one is here) where we meet Bill Drummond strumming techno on a acoustic guitar, Jimmy Cauty goes into Space 1985, dogs rowing boats, abandon all art now, The fake (?) FoLKies, What Time Is 9/11 , remote scottish island rituals, german lounge punks, Royal Fail, David Starkey Ragga MC, guerilla radio stations and dead sheep.

This is Radio Freedom, Mine's a 99%!

3 weddings, 2 DJ gigs (I’m kinda of a DJ!) and one New Order gig…that was 2011. Hopefully 2012 will be quieter/busier (delete as applicable). And hopefully I don’t turn into the Shit Bears Say skit…already invented cubstep and dumbstep so far…Amazeballs! 

Various covers of New Order, I talk about The Artist, Canterbury Group and early 90′s Welsh pop, the aforementioned wedding, the New Order gig at the Troxy (GILLIAN WE LOVE U!), play an uptempo mix, some Star Wars rave and at least one track that is the Anti-Wedding! 

Dubstep is the SHIT!!!! Wuwubuwub…

For a season I either hate or feel meh humbug about, I don't half do a lot of CDs/shows/mixes about it! Here's the Xmas episode of Radio Clash, where I rant about shitty dubstep, play Jingle Bells on a saw, have a totally Punk Rock Christmas, meet some rather scarily friendly Cuddly Daleks (tm), play some silly mashups (yay!), go through a few of my favourite songs of 2011, and spend ages trying to think up a witty title and completely failing.

I Bet I'm Now On The Naughty List

I've been so busy I know I've skipped at least one months worth of podcasts - here's one I recorded earlier in the year and it's been sitting since October waiting to be edited! All those weddings and birthdays and revolutions just got in the way! But I'm working on a Xmas edition, as well as a special Wedding edition which should be out much sooner now it's gotten quiet.

It's little secret that Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, usually known as The KLF and Justified Ancients of Mu Mu are a major influence on mashup, dance and pop culture - and myself personally. Even the intro to Radio Clash contains sneaky KLF elements!

Some KLF rarities and decent quality versions of KLF/JAMs tunes appeared earlier in the year via the excellent KLF.de and this podcast literally would not exist without their help and people's patient mastering and ripping and eBay scouring - big thanks! Since their 'retirement' in 1992 KLF has entered into lore (and a lot of their creations into obscurity/rarity) but I was there from Doctorin the Tardis and later the second version of What Time Is Love buying the singles each of the Stadium House trilogy on day or week of release - I still have the 7"s!

But before that their 1987 album and sailing in hot (Swedish?) waters with ABBA and sample clearance (or more importantly lack of it) Their hiphop splatter samplepunk early records is what we focus on here in part one - the early days upto the Pure Trance singles, a car making a hit record, The Manual, and the first White Room film, as a broke KLF despair of bankruptcy and a little known track called What Time Is Love takes off in the clubs...

I've been meaning to do a new Dark Electro / Disco Noir mix since I did the last one 3 years ago (was it really that long?).

As I've gotten more into dubstep, psych garage and surf oddities this is also now reflected in this late edition of Disco Noir 2 - it also has rock, dubstep, doowop, dnb, mashups (including a few from the excellent new Texas Chainsaw Mashacre album), and of course dark and cheesy disco and electro.

So I hope you enjoy this dark journey under the light of the moon, with the cry of the wolf, cat, cackling witch and, err, weird synthetic comic ghost noise. oooOOOoOOOOoo! And watch out for scary background noises BEHIND YOU - they creeped into the mix when I wasn't looking.

How Can Shadows be Grimey?

Hottest October for two centuries, warmest September in about 30 years, riots, music prize surprises...(ok maybe not the last one). Chaos? Discordianism? Bolivian Cats?
Need to send a message to the God of Luxury Bags: What in hades is going on? And put on the tea, I'll be there in a minute just got to make gold from this copy of It's A Kind of Magic...

Fun, fun, fun....woahhhh. It seems some of the Happy Inmates are Unhappy in the Happy House, even though  We're Happy Here...they want new shoes. Consoles. 55" TVs, part 3 of 3...woahhh.

I'm H-A-P-P-Y, I'm H-A-P-P-Y, I know I am, I'm sure I am...

Although I recorded this last week I was so busy only just got round to posting it now, the 2nd of the 3 back to back (ish) shows...and this is a companion piece to RC 167: Not Here Right Now, with a downtempo look at that terrible events in Norway and the death of Amy Winehouse...where words fail and all you have is music left.

Rather than focusing on the gorey lurid drive-by moneyshots that the media specialises I tried to make more a downbeat meditative show (a calm lake to the last show's crashing sea) with hope in it's eyes, partying and throwing glitter into the face of fascism but also exploring the darker and angrier side of a slightly schizophrenic happening - but at no point giving the platform to madness.

(Weymouth collage, by Tim B)

From walks along cliff tops to the deaths of red tops,
the paper sea keeps rolling on,
so rains the British Summer.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide,
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied (89Mb, 1:38)
