Want to keep the first two tracks at least for their punky immediacy....the comp is for a young chap who could be put off initially by the doomy baritone and sparse first album production.
Have taken off the live version of 'Digital', 'Interzone' and 'Heart and Soul'.
Still need to lose one longish track.
Down to 'The Eternal' and 'Decades'.
I love em both. They go together!
Which one should I chuck?

Saw this on someone's tumblr. Don't know if it's a photoshop or not, but it looks real. And, if that's the case, WTF MAN?

Actually, I take that back. The edge on the near side kind of betrays its photoshoppedness.

A bunch of my mates went to that "Peter Hook and friends" thing last night and there was varius "well it was good... but it was like a good cover band". Im like, WTF did you think it was going to be, jesus.

Hahha exactly. Apparently they played this 20 min self indulgent wank video before they came on that was all random new order clips and really poorly made? The audience all started to shout abuse, haha.

It's anti-performance theory. Hook's a secret academic.

can someone tell me what's considered the canonical/best joy division biography?
― through being dave cool (markers), Wednesday, 17 August 2011 20:33 (twelve years ago) link
i quite liked mick middles biography on ian curtis called "torn apart". but obviously it centers on the singer. it is an easy and still rather rewarding read.

yesterday I turned on the radio and there was some post-punk rock stuff and I got all Man Yells At Clouds in my mind about "fuckin young kids from Brooklyn starting bands, is that all you know how to do is bite Joy Division" and then the singer came in and he was like "Iiiiiii'm living in the ice age" and I was like "oh ahem lol"

"the one by his widow is decent, markers. though you will finish it and think she's boring and he was a cunt."it gives a different perspective that's true but it does not shed a lot of light on the music. i don't even remember if she liked it.

PS I'm sure this has been brought up before but: how do y'all say Closer in yr heads/is there an established 'correct' reading?
― bernard snowy, Sunday, 6 November 2011 15:08 (twelve years ago) link
you know it man xp
it's "closer" in the sense of "nearer to," with the sibilant s, though I'm guessing this is something people have internet arguments about now, which is a good argument in favor of the pre-internet age
