[kj] Big Black

[Alexander Smith]

Albini would be the first to admit his adoration for Killing Joke 
(pardon the pun). But fair enough. Then again, I don't feel especially 
bad about selling Big Black short.  A fine band, but in no way the same 
league as the `Joke. And Albini has an even greater penchant for 
spouting hateful malarkey than even some certain members of the 
Gathering.

SONG ABOUT FUCKING is a damn classic, though.
