i'd rather watch Leyton Orient than go to a jaz lecture.

  I 
  was an ODIC member < http://home.clara.net/antoni/odic017.jpg > 
  but for whatever reasons I never went to the Courtauld Institute (1987) or 
  Holland Park (1992) though I did go to the ODIC party at the Porchester Hall 
  in December 1988 & bought the Courtauld  talks album when it came out 
  on Invisible. By the time Jaz did another talk at the Columbia Hotel (1995) 
  I’d seen the error of my ways & put in an overdue appearance. 

   
  I 
  believe this list was started by a US alternative DJ (Michael J Salo) in 1996 
  – when I finally entered the web age in 1998, I stumbled upon it and 14 years 
  later I’m still here. It was amazing to find souls here who were more obsessed 
  with KJ than I was ... within a year we’d had the first of several 
  “gatherings” in London – we also had The Damage Manual gigs & then Colesy 
  re-launched Malicious Damage with t-shirts to replace our shrunken and moth 
  eaten classics plus many gigs. Like all families, we’ve had the odd spat on 
  here but otherwise it’s been an absolute pleasure and I intend to hang around 
  these parts as long as I’m still breathing. 
   
  I 
  doubt many of us during the post Democracy hiatus would ever have envisaged 
  that KJ would have released 4 more (and counting) mighty studio albums (I tend 
  not to analyse or criticise, I’m just grateful for their mere existence) 
  although the past decade itself has been equally chaotic with Raven leaving 
  the band prior to his tragic & untimely passing. Now here we all are, in 
  2012, with Killing Joke playing (like many other reformed acts) with the 
  original line-up but standing apart from most others by being something a lot 
  more than just on a nostalgia trip. KJ sounding more relevant than ever.  
  Yes, Robert, in that other thread you said that after KJ at the Cult/Mish/Joke 
  bash at the Apollo we’ll probably all go back down the pub, but after shelling 
  out £42.50 (incl fee) I’ll probably be looking to get my money’s worth ... 
  plus heckling can be fun :o)
   
  Regards, 
  Antoni

    I first heard of KJ's 
    O.D.I.C. - The Order of the Distant Island Charter 'fan club' on the early 
    90s 'Extremities' UK tour, when I picked up a leaflet at the London Astoria 
    concert. I wrote off and received info. I regret not having joined up at the 
    time, as membership would have given me the golden opportunity to hear Jaz's 
    lectures. Was anyone here a member or attended Jaz's meetings?
