[kj] [KJ] Killing Joke "Rawk"

[Dimitri Bukharin]

No Sting or Supertramp I'm afraid! I only bought two albums last year,
Killing Joke And Transmission. I don't claim to be cool, to old for that
shit but I don't own any records that I'm not proud to have bought.
 When I'm not listening to the Joke I'm more an electro house and old
hip-hop fan though my old punk records get a play now and again. Oh and NO
NEED TO SHOUT!
