How much Joy Division is too much Joy Division?

Posted on July 8, 2008 by admin

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


Joy Division trainers FFS!


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:


NB JD sneakers

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
