Welcome aboard, BP, and enjoy the ride (just don't prepay any plane- or 
hotel-tickets to go see the Joke).

I’ve been checking in on this site from time to time for years. I’ve been a long 
time KJ fan since I first discovered a cassette NIGHT TIME in 1990. If I recall, 
it was black with a silver label. I suppose I’m a Fanatic (as Rollins would 
say). I’ve been lucky to see KJ twice. The first time was in DC @ The Black Cat 
on their KJ 2003 tour. I’m glad I saw that one as it seems Jaz was not well and 
ended up cancelling their Philly performance after that. The next time was their 
last show in LA @ House of Blues. What an amazing show that was. The songs, the 
sound, and the overall spirit of the band. I never even thought I would ever 
hear some of those songs played live. I got to see WIRE right around the same 
time so that was good year to say the least.
 
KJ’s music has been a significant part of my life’s background score. I think 
they’re simply brilliant. The variety of imagery and emotions their sound has 
been able to produce within me is unmatched. Be it the post-punk genius of 
Requiem, Tomorrow’s World; or Complications or the beauty of Love Like Blood, 
Lanterns, The Raven King, et al. Of course then there is the true sounds of 
madness: We Have Joy or Whiteout. I could on and bore you forever with this 
stuff, so I’ll spare you.
 
I just wanted to finally drop in and take part in the spirited dialogue that 
often permeates this group. Let me say I am happy to be hear and look forward to 
discussions (especially about Absolute Dissent).
 
Ganbatte!
