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?
