[kj] Hello again

[Alexander Smith]

I have every intention of picking up GRINDERMAN, but after my abject  
lack of success with Plastichead, I don't think I'll be purchasing  
ANYTHING through the mail ever again.

Welcome back, Malc!

And I respectfully disagree with you re: the `Joke's last two albums.  
As far as I'm concerned, KJ2003 takes a giant shit all over HOSANNAS  
from a towering, great, brown splattery height.

I'd bore you with further opinions on same, but for the sake of the  
rest of the Gathering who've heard me blather on about it, I'll spare  
you. Suffice to say, I think HOSANNAS is far and away their worst  
effort ever.

Bring on the next one, that's what I say.

Alex in NYC
