My ex-girlfriend who was a massive KB fan reckons all the KJ links were accurate.


"...surprisingly, Killing Joke don't hate all chart music, they just find most of it "insignificant" and "one dimensional". There are one or two exceptions though: Kate Bush (who happens to be a Killing Joke fan herself)..."

Jaz doesn't seem to mention it as much as he used to, but I've always been intrigued by the notion that Kate Bush was reportedly a massive Killing Joke fan. Witness the fact that Youth played on the HOUNDS OF LOVE album and some music-rag interview asking her when the last time she cried was, and her answer being when she'd heard that "Killing Joke broke up." I don't know if that legend's true, but I want to believe it.

Apropos of nothing, I stumbled onto this clip of Kate lip-synching to "Running Up that Hill" on television, and was struck by the kind of KJ-vibe it has, not too different from the video of "Love Like Blood." Also, that isn't Youth on bass, is it?

Enjoy.
