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?
