1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Question Kyle and Question Jennie join me to discuss one of the most poorly thought-out, pretentious stunts in the history of pop culture, wherein an early UK techno-electronica duo churn out a novelty song, one hit single, and a book about how to write a novelty song before topping it all off by burning one million pounds, one £50 bill at a time. It's the kind of anti-capitalist, Art School edginess that blew your mind at 20 and I sincerely hope does not blow your mind as a functional adult. After scoring a gimmick hit about Dr. Who called &quot;Doctorin' the Tardis&quot; in 1988 as The Timelords, the duo rebranded themselves as KLF to release the minor Nineties hit single &quot;3am Eternal.&quot; Somehow that was enough for them to amass £1,000,000, which in 1994 they fed into a roaring fire in a video called &quot;The K Foundation Burn a Million Quid.&quot; If you ever wondered what kind of face a person makes as they are actively ruining their own lives on camera, check it out.&amp;nbsp; Please support Mass for Shut-ins, an independent and ad-free podcast,&amp;nbsp;via Patreon.
