[kj] OT: The Spectres

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

It definitely plays to the current vogue of nostalgia acts, however. I 
used to kind of take pride that KJ had been basically a continuous band 
with on and off periods for almost 30 years now. When I would write 
about them on a blog I would get comments like, "Klling Joke? Isn't that 
that 80s band? They're still around?" And I could delight in telling 
them, yes, the band are still around, have released two new LPs in the 
past several years, etc.

Now the new press releases make it look like it's the Sex Pistols 
reuniting, which is odd given that, well, the band never really did 
break up except for a few inactive periods.
