"I never 'got' JD, until I watched Control (film) a couple of years ago.
Then, I 'Got it' .
Bit late to that party....you’re here now which is all that matters."
I've got transmission on for you now |

I haven't read the (biographical) book but Control (2007) is a brilliantly insightful film, sympathetically made, doleful, dark and gives a idea of Curtis' psychological torment, coupled with the lightheartedness and hilarity of Toby Kebbell's performance as Joy Division's irascible and arrogant manager.
How can one not like Joy Division? 🩶

Incredible record (and I choose that term because it really is a snapshot of a very particular time and place).
Some pieces of music are timeless. This will still be played and dissected and talked about the same way we talk about Mozart and Beethoven. |

Brilliant band, brilliant album. Manchester artists created some incredible music during this era.
There was an art exhibition called "True Faith" a few years ago now in Manchester, it explored the cultural legacy of Joy Division/New Order. It was fantastic and included some notebooks of hand written Joy Division lyrics that belonged to Ian Curtis's widow that she allowed to the shown for the exhibit. |

sort of on topic, this is a great interview from '84 where George Michael showed his class even at a young age against the pomp and snobbery of the rest of the speakers (sorry to any Morrisey fans, but he's a condescending fucktard here) while they discussed Curtis and the band(s) |

I worked in Macclesfield in the 80’s where Ian Curtis lived. Previously, i attended the Rum Runner club in Birmingham, where their music was regularly played. I still play my 12” Atmosphere disk…what a record |

Love Will Tear Us Apart - my favourite all time song. Sadly Ian died before I had an opportunity to see Joy Division live. Shadowplay is another awesome track! Their music still sounds as fresh today as it did back then. |
