Title: Sandy Denny makes Bill Drummond's ultimate list
Post by: Jules Gray on April 17, 2012, 01:21:03 PM
Bill Drummond looks back on 59 years of great songs:-

Of Sandy singing Who Knows Where The Time Goes, he writes:-

"This is the song that I want played as my coffin slides behind the curtain.  The voice of Sandy Denny works on me in a different way than the voice of Roy Orbison, but both are able to reduce me to an emotional wreck."

Wikipedia says:
"William Ernest Drummond (born 29 April 1953, Butterworth, South Africa) is a Scottish artist, musician, writer and record producer. He was the co-founder of late 1980s avant-garde pop group The KLF and its 1990s media-manipulating successor, the K Foundation, with which he burned a million pounds in 1994. More recent art activities, carried out under Drummond's chosen banner of the Penkiln Burn, include making and distributing cakes, soup, flowers, beds and shoe-shines. More recent music projects include No Music Day, and the international tour of a choir called The17. Drummond is the author of several books about art and music."

KLF? Isn't that the lot that did the very strange video featuring a ceremony in which some Liege and Lief albums were burned?

That was actually the FLK, but plenty of folks reckon it's the same bunch.

59 years of great songs, when he's 59? And the other flannel? The guy reeks of inflated self-importance and ego-driven knobbery.
As for Glenn 'The Voice of Rock' Hughes. Er, Glenn 'The Drug-fuelled Squealer who single-handedly destroyed the best hard rock band that ever graced God's clean Earth' Hughes, more like.

Well to be fair, he based his whole career on those twin qualities, and he seems to have done alright.

I don't understand the "and the other flannel" part though.   ???

The only thing I know about the KLF is the million pounds burning thingy. I have no idea what they sound like or whether I would recognise anything by them.

I googled it and played youtube clip but it didn't ring any bells. I wasn't impressed with them burning a million pounds but I'm even less impressed with that.
