Lately I’ve been leaning towards discovering new music through radio and music video stations, as they do a lot more in helping me find new music than streaming services ever did.

I think the problem is that streaming’s algorithmic nature leads to locking yourself into a comfort bubble with the same old playlists with the same old recommendations. “Made For You” playlists further lock you into that box as long as the songs get more streams.

Meanwhile, I watched Rage recently (the Australian equivalent of MTV) and it got me hooked on Reel Big Fish and Little Simz, two amazing artists I had no interest in before because I was never made aware of their music. I rediscovered The KLF through listening to Radio X on the RadioGarden app. Two mediums of listening to music known for constant repeats of popular songs have done more for me (in terms of finding music) than Spotify has ever done.

At the end of the day, all three still want your money, but Spotify wants your money by locking you in your comfort zone and all your “favourite playlists”.

Portals: The KLF's Chill Out (A New Dimension)

A 'mixtape' from A Strangely Isolated Place, which serves as a reinterpretation of The KLF's Chill Out. The original album's concept and timing remain, but with all new music from various artists and field recordings. A more in-depth description (a long with other mixtapes) can be found on the ASIP blog.

‘Tracklist’

For the best experience, I would suggest listening without looking at the track list first. If you knew what was coming in the original album, would it have been as fun?! Tracks are listed below in (very) rough order in which they first play. Most of the time 4/5 tracks are playing at the same time. Many tracks are used multiple times at different points in the mix. Plus there are other small samples used that were changed from existence and not listed below.

On 5th November 1995, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, as the K Foundation, painting a contract onto a Nissan Bluebird car, agreeing to end the K Foundation and to stop talking about their film, “Watch the K Foundation Burn a Million Pounds”, for 23 years. The car was then pushed off a cliff.

Chill Out by The KLF

#Chill Out #the klf #1990

[nscafe-firehose]

First, there I was going into grade 8 and had a medical issue that was very much bothering me and as such, I was going to a doctor regularly and they had happy face buttons at their reception. I usually grabbed one or two (or five) and kept one for myself but gave the others I acquired over time to friends who had asked for them... we had a happy face gang, so to speak. I was already wearing quilted flannel at that point and a happy face button decorated that until I got my duster.

Then during the same time frame (1991... but honestly could have 1992, I don't quite remember), I had heard "The White Room" album (on cassette, bought because the cover grabbed me so hard... could not resist) and listened to it a lot walking back and forth to and from school in grade 8. Then I read "The Illuminatus! Trilogy" in grade 10 (after previously "The Schrödinger's Cat Trilogy" a year earlier) and started getting into Discordianism around then (and also picked up The KLFs "Chill Out", it took me a while to figure out it came out before "The White Room")… AND then I got online regularly… this would explain why you saw my duster with a happy face button it throughout the rest of the 90s. In 1998 the anthology book "Disco 2000" came out with stories by both Bill Drummond and Robert Anton Wilson (for further details on why that's an interesting intersection involves how Drummond and Cauty met).

Then in 2012 I had tried to buy one of the not glitter versions of the shield but the price on the shipping put it just out of reach (currency conversion killed it)… then Cauty and Drummond put out the novel 2023 in 2017…. in 2022 I picked up the 12" of "It's Grim Up North" (killer!) and finally at the start of 2023 things worked out where we could try getting a shield again…. and after ups and downs we're finally here. Got the Glitter Smiley [Appropriated!] Riot Shield by the end of the year.

I do not currently have one of the old happy face buttons... but I just ordered a bag of 25...

(you are now a Discordian Pope, enjoy your hot dog)

Lyrics:

All bound for Mu Mu Land

All bound for Mu Mu Land

(Hey)

All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified)

(Hey, hey)

All bound for Mu Mu Land

Mu Mu Land

Mu Mu Land

All bound for Mu Mu Land

They're justified, and they're ancient

And they like to roam the land

(Just roll it from the top)

They're justified, and they're ancient

I hope you understand

(To the bridge, to the bridge, to the bridge now)

They called me up in Tennessee

They said "Tammy, stand by the jams"

But if you don't like what they're going to do

You better not stop them 'cause they're coming through

(Bring the beat back)

All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified)

(Hey, hey)

All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified)

Mu Mu Land

Mu Mu Land

All bound for Mu Mu Land

They're justified, and they're ancient

And they drive an ice cream van

(Just roll it from the top)

They're justified, and they're ancient

With still no master plan

(To the bridge, to the bridge, to the bridge now)

The last train left an hour ago

They were singing, "All aboard"

All bound for Mu Mu Land

Then someone started screaming, "Turn up the strobe"

(Bring the beat back)

All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified)

(Hey, hey)

All bound for Mu Mu Land (ancients of Mu Mu)

Justified and ancient, ancient and a-justified

Rocking to the rhythm in their ice cream van

With the plan and the key to

Enter into Mu Mu

Vibes from the tribes of the jams

I know where the beat is at

'Cause I know what time it is

Bring home a dime

Make mine a "99"

New style, meanwhile, always on a mission while

Fishing in the rivers of life

Fishing in the rivers of life (hey)

Fishing in the rivers of life (hey)

Fishing in the rivers

Fishing in the rivers

Fishing in the rivers of life (hey)

All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified)

(Hey, hey)

All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified)
