Fuck The Millennium is a one-off comeback single to celebrate the crapness of comebacks, released under the short-lived 2K alias. Bill Drummond’s 45 features a lengthy first-hand retelling of the how’s and why’s.
The track itself is built around The KLF’s What Time Is Love? and the cover version by Jeremy Deller’s Acid Brass as performed by the Williams Fairey Band who also reprised their performance for the recording of the single.

No mention in ‘who Killed the KLF’, why ? I needed to shout ‘fuck the millennium’ desperately back then and the KLF gave me an excuse with this shortest of all comebacks. The Barbican show was a lot of fun and it may be of the moment but I still give this a play. Oh and the tshirt, bag poster we got at the gig. I sold on eBay and got some money to go on my first ‘with the girlfriend’ holiday, I think Jimmy and Bill would have appreciated that!
