I've got the DVD of the documentary now and I'm trying to watch it but it's really way too intense for me. I have to stop it after every so often because I feel like I'm tripping on acid. Anyway, that bit where Bernard slags off the likes of "You're No Good For Me" as dreadful made me LOLS.

i managed to miss this at the cinema, which i'm gutted about. it was on for about a week; that was it. i need to get the DVD, but ... it won't be the same as the big-screen experience. tits.

Region 2 DVD not out in the UK until the end of August? Why do they still do this? I've ordered a region one one from the states, cheaper anyway. The R2 one has a better cover though. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41cxrP7hAhL._SL500_AA240_.jpg

Yeah I got the doc. I tried to watch the doc. It taxed my brain. I had other things on my mind. I couldn't quite make it through all of it. Sensory overload.

i've realised i go through a heavy JD phase about once a year, then don't listen to them for most of the rest of the time (even though i'd still say they're my "favourite band" -- or at least did when my nine-year-old nephew asked who my favourite band was, and i really can't think of a more honest answer, especially if the set "joy division" is allowed to include "the new order stuff i love, which admittedly is most of it, substantial parts of the last two albums aside"). hopefully this year's phase will coincide with the release of the DVD :)
― grimly fiendish, Saturday, 19 July 2008 08:52 (fifteen years ago) link
i just watched the doc. not staggering amounts of new information but it's always nice hearing it from the horses' mouths so to speak. actually hearing from bernard for once was an unexpected pleasure (no pun intended) and steven morris continues to be my favourite member..

So was Ian into the occult? I've heard conflicting statements from two members of New Order. Ian sure seemed like the kind of guy who owned a copy of "Nazism and the Occult" or something.
― Cunga, Sunday, 5 April 2009 20:32 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't remember reading anything about him being particularly into the occult, no, and I've read quite a bit about him/JD.

Ok, so instead of clogging up the board with yet another Joy Division thread, I thought I'd just add to this one.
Making a comp for someone who doesnt know a lot about The Joy Divisions - even though they've had fillums made about them and everything.
Having a bit of trouble fitting it all onto an 80 minute cd though.
Tracklisting:
1. Warsaw2. No Love Lost3. Digital (Les Bains Douches live versh)4. Disorder5. Day Of The Lords6. Incubation7. Transmission8. Insight9. Shadow Play10. She's Lost Control (12" 'dancier' versh)11. Dead Souls12. Interzone13. New Dawn Fades14. Atmosphere15. These Days16. Atrocity Exhibition (Les Bains Douches live versh)17. Isolation18. Means To An End19. Heart And Soul20. Twenty Four Hours21. Eternal22. Decades23. Love Will Tear Us Apart (Permanent mix)
Probably need to take 3 songs off this to make it fit on a cd. Buggered if I can decide which ones though. What says you, ilx?
― Humphrey Plugg, Friday, 11 June 2010 15:27 (thirteen years ago) link
Would still make sense if you cut the three earliest tracks and started with "Disorder."

― anagram, Friday, 11 June 2010 15:40 (thirteen years ago) link
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?
― Humphrey Plugg, Friday, 11 June 2010 16:06 (thirteen years ago) link
"The Eternal"

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.

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.
