[kj] first time/PEEL/Other stuff

[Leigh Newton]

I just read the blog and I don't think you did anything wrong. He can't be cool and just say "Thanks!"? Lame. You'd think after all these years he'd have settled into some kind of "stock-answer" routine with fans.

First time I saw Killing Joke: Summer of 1989 at the Cat Club (since torn down) on East 13th Street. Pre-EXTREMITIES. The flexi-disc of "Beautiful Dead" was out. Atkins on drums. Taif on bass. Not sure who was on keybs (Bechdel?). In the crowd: Joey Ramone of the Ramones, Johnny Feedback of KRAUT (local boys) and Handsome Dick Manitoba of the Dictators. And me --- practically welling up with joy.\
Incidentally, for those sitting on fence about picking up the new PEEL SESSIONS disc -- DO IT!! The last three tracks (a STOMPING, slower, more deliberate version of "Tension," a romp through "Exit" and THE BEST VERSION OF "UNSPEAKABLE" I'VE EVER HEARD (way better than studio rendition, in my opinion). ESSSSSSSENTIAL!!!!!!!
On other fronts:
I made a jackass of myself in front of New Wave's "Angry [old] Man," Joe Jackson. Read sad details here:

..and my blog-friend Jill just launched a Butthole Sufers site. Read about that here:

Hooray.

   If i can make it this time it'll be my 2nd. The 1st was for KJ2003.
   Sux i had just gotten back into KJ only 2 weeks or so after they 
played L.A. (@ the Palace/Avalon) on their Pandemonium tour, which 
I so much would've loved to have seen in this life.

Diaz is a KJ follower since many years (decades actually), and -just as me- this is the very first time he's going to a Killing Joke gig. I know most gatherers live in the US and the UK, therefore you have had a lot of chance to catch a KJ concert. Still, I wonder if other gatherer's are in the same situation than Diaz and me (going to see KJ for the first time ever)? 

Anyone else joining the first-timers list?
