We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

Bill Drummond's 10 Commandments of Art

4 Don’t make punk rock
May 1977, I was back in Liverpool forming a band called Big in Japan. At that time, punk rock was at its most potent. But as we struggled to write songs for our new band, I became aware that punk rock was already a formula. If I used certain chords, in a certain order, with a certain attitude, one could mimic the sound of punk rock. But as soon as I did, it sounded rubbish. The instant a music can be defined as a genre and thus copied, it’s dead. Only make music when you don’t know what it is that you’re doing or even trying to do. Apply this commandment to all artforms and remember: don’t join the dots.

He looks a bit like Kevin McCloud from Grand Designs these days.

He's a pretentious knobhead but The KLF were brilliant.

has he stopped making soup for people then? I swing from agreeing qwith cheesey to thinking he's kind of interesting. Presumably if he hadn't have made a load of cash from the KLF he wouldn't be able to do this stuff. That bed doesn't really look big enough for a bloke of his size. Maybe its just the perspective of the shot.
