On second thoughts, they would know how to spell "sacrilege" in the caption (unless it is an intentional reference to meeting on the sacriledge...

That's what occurred to me, as well as the fervent hope that the copies burned were dummies. It's a pretty uncomfortable thing to watch, with all the echoes of book-burning. The problem with anything like this is that the more anybody talks about it the more valid it becomes as a publicity stunt.

I hadn't heard (herd) of FLK....not much to get excited about as far as I can see.

If I want to see band dressed up in some sort of animal outfit - I prefer the Wombles


Yep! Me too. Smiley

And at least they tidy up after themselves. Wink

On first reading the subject of this thread, I thought it meant "burn" in the sense of burning a copy of a CD. Yep, I know, I don't get out much.

Seriously though, what a load of cowpats!

There is hope for folk inspired electronica, though. Belbury Poly and The Advisory Circle don't use many direct folk quotes and samples, but somehow they do manage to create and excellent folkish vibe with their space age pastoralism...

Why would they want to burn albums when (to misquote Viz) they could simply download and delete them?  Wink

Ah, Belbury Poly and The Focus Group... Great stuff. There's a lot of good music on Ghostbox.

I listen to a lot of this sort of electronic minimalist stuff (Seefeel at the moment), and thought this was OK, although I did start skipping forward to see the L&L reference as it was getting a bit dull.

I found a good antidote for watching this silly clip-went home and played Liege and Lief in its entirety!

I imagine the same people who made the original video.  I also imagine that whoever did it they'd want to "promote" the new video here.  Now, how could they do that?  Hmm...

You mean by signing up as a newbie on music boards and making their first post look as if they're intetested in it themselves? :-)

I watched/listened for 3 minutes waiting for something to happen, then gave up.  I like a bit of ambient dub, but that was seemingly pointless.  Maybe THAT'S the point!
