[kj] Subliminal version of The Beautiful Dead

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Ade,

Yah, I'm just sayin', is all. KJ influenced a lot of bands I don't care 
for - NiN is actually one of them, (and Nirvana are another), although 
for maybe a year in the early 90s I was really taken with NiN's "Broken" 
EP, which is the only thing of theirs I think I ever gave more than 5 or 
6 listens. But they are not even in my Top 1,000 list of bands. I think 
I liked "Broken" because it was the thrashiest stuff NiN had done, and 
reminded me of the thrashy industrial stuff that Ministry were already 
doing with Jello Biafra (Lard, that is) and Ian MacKaye (in the form of 
the short-lived Fugazi/Ministry collaboration project Pailhead, whose 
sole EP rocks -- although really that was just MacKaye and Jourgensen 
belting it out, and not "Fugazi with Ministry" as some things have claimed).

-Oliver
