There's not a lot mods can do, on the off chance that the account turns out to be a real person. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Could set the user account to always require mod approval for posts, but that's a LOT more work for mods then, and again, may be a bit draconian if we / you have called it wrong.I'm an admin on a big retro computer forum, and this is exactly what we do - the first three posts need to be approved by a mod, it's not that much hassle, and its easy to spot the link farming, the IP addressed used to sign up is usually the biggest giveaway.
Though, as with everything where spammers are in this to make money, they are getting sneakier, the current trick seem to be to just copy an exisiting post in a thread, so if a mod glances at it, it looks on topic, then they edit in links.

The "KLF" are on the bill of some festival with Vengaboys as headliner. Is that a typo or a joke? Can't see Drummond or Cauty turning up somehow ...
I mean, the festivals name would probably be a useful addition to your post here
but yes, the drummond kauty KLF are not going to be touring any time soon.

Would folk still be as enthusiastic if they didn't do any music but just did a conceptual performance statement like setting their fee on fire?
I would watch them read out shopping lists.

Also, a new KLF book is available as of this morning:
https://www.alimentation.cc/product/those-we-look-at-with-closed-eyes/
"
Recent histories of The KLF / JAMs / The Timelords / The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu / The K Foundation and K2 Plant Hire have appeared as filmed documentaries, Broadsides, as various printed books and website-based texts. Though almost all of these are ‘unauthorised’ by the original players, nonetheless they are accurate and true, despite their errors falsehoods and mistakes.
Those We Look At With Closed Eyes is number one in the ANTAR True Folk Tales Series and adds to the growing history haystack mentioned above. Many will consider this account by Albine Desray far closer to the truth and a more accurate history of the various events and releases generated by the above artists throughout time.
Hardback: see photographs with metric pencil for size, full sepia throughout spread over numerous pages of varying stock. All patina, creases, smudges and defects are unique and intended.
Printed in an edition of 600 copies only, unavailable elsewhere.

Total orders per person unlimited.
For orders above two copies: please contact Alimentation.
This book is entitled to be enlisted as a member of the KLF Re-enactment Society: www.klfrs.com

It appears to be some sort of pseudo generated AI thing, but as it's on the legit Bill Drummond shop, I have, of course, bought a copy 🙂

Mix from the recent Pyramid thing:
"
On the night of the 23rd of November, 2023, Jimmy Cauty (The JAMs / The KLF) played a selection of Ambient, Gospel and Choral tracks from The Ice Kream Van whilst the new Bricks Of Mu were laid on The People's Pyramid.
I think there had been a loose plan for Gimpo to raise The Foundation Stone on his forklift truck to the tune of HIRE & HIRE & HIRE by K2 Plant Hire Ltd (Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty.). However, Gimpo had downed a few drinks by then and there was a party atmosphere beginning around The Ice Kream Van. Jimmy played a selection of JAMs tracks from the newly remastered version of their debut album 1987 (Jimmy told me their deal with The British Library was great. Along with getting the full-length recording of Dr Wade from their Chill Out album back from them recently, Bill and Jimmy have asked to hear The Black Room sessions.). He also mixed in some new tunes, including their KLF KARE TRAK "Xmas Top Of The Pops". Jimmy finished his set by playing Jarvis Joins The JAMs."some new to me tracks in there(around the 20 min mark), possibly brand new. also a few from 1987, which even as a die hard fan, are borderline unlistenable 🙂

They'll put another piece of merch on sale based around an idea they had 25+ years ago.
And I'd probably buy it 🙂

Who checks the GFL website every few days (or even more frequently), how did people hear about the sale?
I'm at a bit of a loss tbh, thought I had a pretty solid news flow but obviously not....
I check here daily, the reddit group daily, and have the ticket page as my browser homepage so anytime i restart my browser, I get the current ticket page.

I've been a b3ta member for over 21 years 😄 (21 years 7 months and some days)
alas, my very average photoshoppery never led to weebl like success, but hey ho.

Not really a contribution to the debate, but this all reminded me of this comic from Select Magazine's Glastonbury special in 1994 😁

I know that Arcadia posted that they'd purchased a Sea King from ebay but I can't see the idea being a goer. Something about a war themed/helicopter dance arena doesn't sit right, I can't see them running with it. But, change is desperately needed.
Oddly, I associate Sea King type helicopters with Air Sea rescue stuff, not military at all.

in the 20+ times I've been to the festival, I've never bothered queuing for the Rabbit Hole, have I missed out ?
Also, lolling at 'Sea King' being a collective to replace Arcadia - I have visions of a massive temporary lake with pyrotecnics and jet skis , steampunk submarines etc etc, would be ace 🙂

three new UK Underworld dates announced earlier (edit: I'm late to the party on this news 🙂 )

Shorter walk to and from the site. Outer fields can be quite a trek.
but if you get the short straw when parking up, you might be next to the track and have several thousand people walk past your pitch each day 🙂

Thanks ever so much for posting that. I saw and listened to a bit of footage that ticked all the boxes. Nice one. 🙂
It's great isn't it 🙂

I also keep an eye on their other site: https://www.klfrs.com/

I thought it was at first but I am not convinced it was a crew area specifically, not least because I talked to a group of lovely folk who were smashing through the spirits menu who were there as punters . Will try and find some pictures as I am not sure we are talking about the same location
Did you need to show a worker/area wristband to get in? if so it was a crew bar.

I am going 🙂
just the worry of scoring a camper pass now!
