  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?
