How much Joy Division is too much Joy Division?

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 03:26:38 +0000

I know it seems like all I ever do is post about nothingelseon stuff & Joy Division, but really, this takes the cake:

Full details here: http://www.cerysmaticfactory.info/joy_division_trainers.html

**Actually that site is great if you’re in any way interested in Factory records**

So, yeah they’re ‘unreleased’ or whatever, but really?????

Oh, there’s these too:

If that’s enoughto put you over the edge, then read this Black Sky Thinking: The Joy Division Industry by Chris Roberts - worth a read.

Haha, and to completely skewer my point - another article worth a read by Jon Savage in the Grauniad - Controlled Chaos

New Bloc Party Single - Mercury

And, yes, in case you’re wondering, it does sound a little like Britney’s Toxic!

If you happened to be in Manchester over the weekend…

admin — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:08:14 +0000

… I hope you went to this: the Tony Wilson Experience.

At noon on 21 June, 2008 some of the biggest names in design, the creative industries, media, and the arts will launch a 24 hour conversation and debate in the centre of Manchester, with a selected audience of two hundred talented and creative young people from across the city and beyond.

The event is designed to stimulate, inspire and engage the next generation of cultural innovators and is being held in memory of the broadcaster, entrepreneur and creative champion, Anthony H Wilson.

It will be a unique occasion – organised and programmed to reflect Tony’s inimitable creative style and the ways in which he engaged the people he met, worked with, played with.

The Tony Wilson Experience is deliberately experimental because that’s how Tony would have constructed it. In fact, there are some elements of the event which will remain open to change right up until our launch. We have a carefully considered framework but we want to ensure that there’s some freedom in the programme; in short, the event will be structured and managed, but not constrained.

Finally, the Joy Division DVD!

admin — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 04:01:10 +0000

From the NME:

Joy Division and New Order bassist Peter Hook deejayed and participated in a revealing Q&A session in Los Angeles last night (June 17) to mark the US release of the ‘Joy Division’ documentary DVD.

The film, directed by Grant Gee, concentrates on Joy Division’s groundbreaking sound and on the Manchester band’s tragic frontman Ian Curtis, who committed suicide in 1980.
