[kj] London venue change:

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

Definitely a big overlap in audiences.
 
Somehow the Cult just passed me by at the time.  Prompted by Alex's email, I youtubed She Sells Sanctuary.  The official video is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in a long time (well worth watching for a laugh) but I agree it's a pretty good rock song.
 
Regarding a baroquely-frilly fuck, I'll just see if the missus is up for one...

Once again, it gets back to Jaz not entirely understanding his own audience. While, YES, the Cult have inarguably slid over the line into ridiculous bombast time and again, I'd wager they have a sizable amount of fans within Killing Joke's faithful, and vice versa. Personally speaking, I love, have loved -- and will CONTINUE to love -- many of the Cult's albums. Sure, they got incredibly patchy after SONIC TEMPLE (and that's being generous), but I still count "She Sells Sanctuary" as one of the most perfectly crafted songs of all time, and I don't give a baroquely-frilly fuck if Jaz doesn't approve.

My take after reading the band’s comments is that they are pissed off with Jazhole ALWAYS FUCKING THINGS UP and they wanted to let people know that the cancellations & dramas are because of ‘The Chosen One’ and the comments about the Cult are Jaz’s rantings, not theirs.
 
Fuck’s sake, they’re just a band (The Cult) – chill out Mr Tortured Artist. I quite like a few of their songs, ooooooo even though they sound LA rock but come from Wolverhampton or whatever the fuck. Who CARES?! It’s not like I’m listening to U2 or Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Jesus.
 
It was a bit of a serve back to Jaz, and fair play to them too.
 
Anyway, back to the women’s gymnastics / beach volleyball…
 
Bongo – I’ll probably see you at that gig this Fri, is it Kings Arms?

nah, he'll be fine, in fact, better once he can find his identity when KJ is no more...

i'd actually be surprised if they played again, but, who knows, Jaz could return and act like nothings happened.. or could be on Killing Joke Island #001 warming his feet by the fire with no intent of returning to the circus... 

 

 




Frankly, the only two scenarios to look forward to in the next few months is Jaz turns up and Killing Joke announces their break up or Jaz turns up dead.
