NORTH-WEST
PASSAGE
TIME flies.
Once again,
SURROGATES are in place.
KONDUCTORS have their marching orders.
THE MANUAL is ready to go.
THE SKOOL OF
THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW
is waiting.
BROTHERS & SISTERS,
The ADELPHI is yours.
See you on THE OTHER SIDE.
THE KLFRS
ON THE RADIO,
STEEL GUITAR
IN OUR SOUL
THE STRAIGHT AND
THE NARROW
So I was walking down the street the other day,
you know, by the place by the thing,
and in an empty shop window I saw a sign that said
EARLY ADOPTER APPLY NOW.
So I applied and it gave me a whole new direction.
All that was required was 23 seconds of my time.
Meanwhile, if you can lay your hands on
12 traffic cones and a jigsaw,
ROCKMAN ROCK has a project for you.
THE MANUAL is all but kompletly pre-ordered.
If any copies remain they can be claimed here.
200 pages of illuminated instruction.
Second edition would be konsiderably smaller.
Answers to every question,
just not neccessarily in the right order.
SOUNDING THE K-LINE
Get in line now, get in line now
Stay in time with the rhythm and rhyme
Get around town, get around town
Where the people look good, where the music is loud
Get around town, no need to stand proud
Add your voice to the sound of the crowd
THE K-LINE has been K-WALKED.
The Old Straight Track has been unearthed and charged.
The SOUNDING OF THE K-LINE is step two of a
twelve-step and 300 year plan.
The SOUNDING OF THE K-LINE across the River Thames and the River Mersey are to be considered as a priority.
A SOUNDING occurs when a VOCAL TAG is passed along
THE K-LINE between two or more places.
Submissions require GPS coordinates from each location
along THE K-LINE. They will be added to THE MAP.
Participants may take up THE SOUNDING BATON
by starting at a previous SOUNDING location.
It has been suggested that an early morning sounding from TRANCENTRAL to BATTERSEA K-LINE POWER STATION would require a team of five SOUNDERS spaced 230 metres apart.
It is respectfully demanded that the streets of LIVERPOOL and BIRKENHEAD resonate with THE SOUNDING OF THE K-LINE on the weekend around November 23rd 2024.
THE K-LINE is the Official Energy Supplier to
The KLF 2323 World Tour.
More will be revealed in THE MANUAL, in all good bookshops
and Transit vans from 23/11.

THE K-LINE IS THE OFFICIAL ENERGY SUPPLIER
TO THE 2323 WORLD TOUR.
THERE NOW FOLLOWS,
A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSORS,
THE KLMB.
GATHER
THE K-LINE EXISTS.
OF THAT THERE IS NO DOUBT.
BUT A QUESTION REMAINS.
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
There are some who believe THE K-LINE to have originated far back, in the mists of time.
There are others that suggest it is a mass premonition, experienced by the gifted and the cursed, of the multi-socket extension cable powering THE 2323 WORLD TOUR.
And there are others still, who dismiss it as neo-historical weirdness.
Answers will be sought in the days following the Summer Solstice across the streets of Liverpool and London.
A meeting of minds 180 miles and 300 years apart.
Bring us your sturdy boots, your open hearts and minds, as we consider not just what THE K-LINE is, but what THE K-LINE could be.
Listen now, as the winds die down,
to the footsteps of THE K-WALKER.
He is coming and he wants answers.
THE K-LINE has no ends.
Only beginnings.
History is waiting.
The future is impatient.
Dissect the past.
Desecrate the future.
The choice is yours.
We are nothing without The Society.
Attendance is free.
Sign up is mandatory.
Marching orders pending.
THE EXCAVATION WILL BE MERCHANDISED
180 mile long sculptures
in space and time
don't unearth themselves.
Dress kodes are important.
Klick and kollect.
Meanwhile, THE K-WALKER walks THE LINE.
Join him, and other like minded sculpturers
in space and time, in Coventry on Saturday.
All the clubs have been closed down
but McDonalds is open and ready
for your order.

TIME MARCHES ON
Spring has sprung.
The March Hare’s grip on reality is tenuous at best.
The Depository has wintered in a shipping container.
Kolin The Katerpillar has seen better days.
THE KLINIC is a pop-up katastrophe waiting to happen.
A 180 mile long sculpture in time & space is waiting to be unearthed.
The Time Of The Line is upon us.
Get up, get out, get involved.
Get your walking boots muddy and power the future.
ALL ON THE LINE is around the korner.
If you have something to offer, komplete a KONTRACT OF INTENT.
ON THE LINE
What the fuuk is going on?
Well actually, there’s a fuuk of a lot going on.
