[kj] "Oughties"

[gathering@misera.net]

I bought it in March 1984, and I think it was only just out.

First heard on New Year's Day at Hammersmith Palais though.

Fantastic track. If nothing else, Nirvana had taste! :)

>Funnily enough, the track itself (once, now and always my favorite Killing Joke song,...sorry, but there it is) doesn't sound dated to me (barring, of course, the very obvious title). If that song was a child, it'd almost be out of college by now. A mindfuck, that.  Not only is it my favorite Killing Joke song, but it is verily my favorite song of all time.
