fyi, "The Manual" has been reprinted. i stumbled upon it at a local bookstore (and nearly passed out upon my discovery), so you shouldn't have any problems ordering it. there's a new afterword written by Drummond that's actually very poignant (sp) to read. . .basically of course, BUYING the book is kinda counter to their whole thing :) but seriously, this book is sooooo good. this and "Lipstick Traces" are required reading for anybody interested in situationism in pop music. get your prank on. steal this email. -jeff p.s. anybody ever notice that the KLF wrote about 5 melodies, reused them over and over, and stole the rest? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
