my brother ed is probably seven. he barrels down the hallway into the living room where my sister and i are watching television on the couch; he launches into the air and lands dramatically, sinking his plastic teenage mutant ninja turtles scimitar into a floor cushion.

great entry!

I was about 13. I heard it at a friend's house and of course was BLOWN AWAY and ran out & bought the tape right away. I bought Broken on CD before we even had a cd player. I didn't listen to that much gloomy music...what appealed to me more than the emo-ness (I remember complaining to a friend about the head like a hole lyrics) was that it was cool, black, & synth/techno-ey. I preferred the sleek dark sounds to Ministry or Skinny Puppy (was also listening to 808 state, thrill kill cult, the orb). He was my favorite until shortly after Downward Spiral came out.

"Something I can never have was generally my favorite track--b/c of what you say and THE BIRDS. THOSE BIRDS in the back BLEW MY MIND! BIRDS AT NIGHT.

I still listen to KLF to this day.

How could anyone stop listening to KLF is my question. KLF, as faith says simply but eloquently above, rulez.

last year I found a bunch of rare KLF stuff floating around on filesharing, most notably tracks like "go to sleep" and "Kylie said to Jason" which are pretty great

oh man. Jealous. About 8 years ago, I found a second-hand shop where someone had offloaded their entire KLF collection--cassette tapes for $0.10, CDs for $0.50. I snapped it up, but I think most everything disappeared when I moved because I'll be damned if I can find anything now.
