[kj] Hollywood Babylon

[Dominico C]

Pandemonium will always be one of my top picks, besides the 3 first LPs, 
Extremities and Democracy. I finally was able to get my MMXII CD, after a 
bungled shipping issue... Shipping company at fault... Finally can hear the 
album with clarity. I still like the continuity of this album. But, AD has 
its merits, which I love most tracks, but don't care for some others. Yet, I 
do admit that some tracks from AD do stand out more than MMXII. And, I can't 
count out Hossanas or KJ2003. Some material is hit and some material is a 
miss... Oh well, there are some ups and downs...

Well, I have much better collection, jolly good show & I have no intention 
of selling it. Too much other stuff I no longer have wandering.  Nothing 
really I need there although read Caught In The Light by Robert Goddard 
recently & is my favourite of Goddards so far, so well recommended 
especially if u like the Dorset countryside as I do.  Only other would be 
maybe Love In The Time Of Cholera which have yet to read but hope to do so 
at some point.

Always interesting to browse through someone else's book collection.
Its the incongruous stuff I like - eg 'The Story of Air Fighting'.

I wonder which album the Curious George pop-up book helped inspire.
And should we be worried it is on the shelf next to the Kama Sutra?
(Presumably
not the pop-up version.)

Never heard this track before to my knowledge, certainly not as bad as was 
led to believe, in fact, dare I say it it may even be better than? couple of 
tracks associated with MMXII or at least as good.? I think my days of K Joke 
infatuation may be over as realise that will probably never produce another 
LP that will suit my temperamental situation.? Or this could be just 
over-exposure to them over the last few years, as other bands have fallen 
from view etc.? Just need break really so looking fwd to 2 non-Joke gigs 
this summer, at least.

The first time I was able to see the Joke live was in Portland, Oregon for 
the Pandemonium tour.? One thing that stands out from that show was that 
about 30 seconds into the first song (I think it was Communion), Jaz turned 
around, pointed an accusatory finger at Dugmore and shot at least a hundred 
nearly visible poison tipped daggers into him with his eyes!? Dugmore had 
wavered a bit on the tempo...

Dugmore was a brilliant drummer but didn't he cost too much?

Looking back on that era exorcism was outstanding, and the single with the 
remixes and whiteout alt mix was bril.
I still love Labyrinth cos nothing else sounds like it
was shocked the first time heard communion studio track after only hearing 
it on the interrupted radcliffe session by how sharp the vocal were and the 
th epercussion sound.
jana is a wonderful pop song
Maths of chaos ?imo fucked up could've been much better


Outside the Gate still sounds good
I love it.
In some ways could be described as the ultimate killing joke album as with 
all the rumours of it being conceived with the devil
when i first heard it i was shocked it was a joke,
but still very very good music
with proper promotion my love of this land could've been a hit
and who could forget the ceefax review of America-'disturbinglg good'!

I agree with Adam. Just heard it after about, oh, say, at least 10 or 12 
years and though it could be better IMO it sounds good. It's very 
MathOfChaos w/Whiteout & w/some Savage Freedom remix-whose-name-I-can't 
recall. The guit-riff is beautiful if tho too solid-body sounding, as 
someone else has said. (Was Math.Of.Chaos done with a solid-body (LesPaul?)? 
I can't tell. )?

Dugmore I've always liked in the band's Panda-Demo-90s-era KJ sound. His 
drums are not (completely) washed out but instead still add to the overall 
sound (to the extent Jaz let him, anyway). His playing is less baroque than 
Atkins' but props and drive the songs thru enough with a strong plod and 
nice use of the snare, methinks. And although not of KJ, Dugmore was an 
integral part of the KJ SOUND (2cds, +singles and one-offs). Close enough; I 
give him credit. I'd thank him if I saw him (which I actually have, 
indirectly).
Oh, and yeah, it's too long of a song also.?So what's new.?

I think the "cheese"/sleaze/controversy of the host-film "Showgirls" ?this 
little diddy attached itself onto all remora-like really has tainted 
listeners to some extent (I mean, c'mon: her, him,IT!) so it's good a decade 
or so has past before i heard it again.

Here it is,?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XjjK3XF0xc


Now, about Outside The Gate... .. . .?
? . .. I think we'll have to resort to The Doha Debates to decide that one. 
Right after they settle the issue of Punk Provenance: London v. New York.

I beg to differ on both points Mr. Moss!

1.? The main guitar riff that comes in right after the intro drum roll is 
super speedy and complex and reeks of Geordiness!? The tone isn't his usual 
but I think the playing is pure him.? The riff sounds like a first cousin of 
the one in Mathematics of Chaos.

2.? I've always liked this tune.? I think the lyrics are brilliant.? Subject 
matter that no one ever talks about but should - reminds me of the short 
story "Kreutzer Sonata" by Tolstoy..? The vocal melody and delivery are 
really strong and I love the dark trancey dancey element of the music..

Then again, I think Outside The Gate is massive.? ;)

Just "found" this again.

2 points.

1. I'm not convinced its Geordie playing. Could be a youth Jaz thing cos the 
guitar sounds wrong.


2.? It's shit.
