Ben is from up north. I think Yorkshire or somewhere.

Aleph? - I'll third it!
The drumming on the F-Space stuff I've heard is heeeeuge.
I am muchly looking forward to Smartyr.
Hopefully, when it's finally released my pension will be sufficient to
cover it =;¬)

As for drummers, I was always impressed by that guy from Ride – listen
to he drumming on OX4, it’s brilliant.
Or that guy from Can.
I’ve always thought ‘rock’ drummers were wrong for KJ – I’d be looking
elsewhere.
BPF was [struggles to explain...] ‘funky-tribal-disco’ if that makes
sense?
Wasn’t it Geordie who said “we’re a groove band & don’t you forget it’?
Listen to Butcher – it’s got that insanely simple, twisted
with-underlying-menace tribal rhythm & disco hi- hats(!) Genius!
Grohl, IMHO has been the best stand in so far. He’s certainly been the
most imaginative and had the most flair, which is what KJ have lacked
since BPF left.
Atkins, love him or hate him, when he’s on form is an amazing drummer-
his playing on Extremities was fantastic - but he’s ultimately wrong for
KJ.
I view Extremities and an exorcism album.

Thing is, no matter who they get in KJ will never be whole without BPF.
That magickal union will never be the same until the ‘circle’ is
complete again.

Sorry if this has been covered, but where’s Ben from...?
