[kj] O.D.I.C. - The KJ Society

[pssyche23]

I was an ODIC member < http://home.clara.net/antoni/odic017.jpg > but for
whatever reasons I never went to the Courtauld Institute (1987) or Holland
Park (1992) though I did go to the ODIC party at the Porchester Hall in
December 1988 & bought the Courtauld  talks album when it came out on
Invisible. By the time Jaz did another talk at the Columbia Hotel (1995) I’d
seen the error of my ways & put in an overdue appearance. 

 

I believe this list was started by a US alternative DJ (Michael J Salo) in
1996 – when I finally entered the web age in 1998, I stumbled upon it and 14
years later I’m still here. It was amazing to find souls here who were more
obsessed with KJ than I was ... within a year we’d had the first of several
“gatherings” in London – we also had The Damage Manual gigs & then Colesy
re-launched Malicious Damage with t-shirts to replace our shrunken and moth
eaten classics plus many gigs. Like all families, we’ve had the odd spat on
here but otherwise it’s been an absolute pleasure and I intend to hang
around these parts as long as I’m still breathing. 

 

I doubt many of us during the post Democracy hiatus would ever have
envisaged that KJ would have released 4 more (and counting) mighty studio
albums (I tend not to analyse or criticise, I’m just grateful for their mere
existence) although the past decade itself has been equally chaotic with
Raven leaving the band prior to his tragic & untimely passing. Now here we
all are, in 2012, with Killing Joke playing (like many other reformed acts)
with the original line-up but standing apart from most others by being
something a lot more than just on a nostalgia trip. KJ sounding more
relevant than ever.  Yes, Robert, in that other thread you said that after
KJ at the Cult/Mish/Joke bash at the Apollo we’ll probably all go back down
the pub, but after shelling out £42.50 (incl fee) I’ll probably be looking
to get my money’s worth ... plus heckling can be fun :o)

 

Regards, Antoni

I first heard of KJ's O.D.I.C. - The Order of the Distant Island Charter
'fan club' on the early 90s 'Extremities' UK tour, when I picked up a
leaflet at the London Astoria concert. I wrote off and received info. I
regret not having joined up at the time, as membership would have given me
the golden opportunity to hear Jaz's lectures. Was anyone here a member or
attended Jaz's meetings?
