while we're on the subject of Joy Division rip-offs, i think the Manic Street Preachers almost blatantly ripped off 'The Eternal' for their track 'The Intense...
I quite like Interpol, I think it's a bit unfair that they're targeted as a "poor man's Joy Division" so much. I mean, everyone "rips off" someone, ...
I think it's a bit unfair to compare An Ideal For Living EP with Interpol's debut. As Deborah Curtis said in 'Touching From A Distance'; if Joy Divison had got...
Well then do I have a treat for you - Suicide's first album, Suicide. That was in 77. The double CD has the first album on CD1 and CD2 has a CBGB gig from 77...
Ah, Suicide...i forgot them..i've heard the debut album before and it is really great. The 2nd album is almost as good too. Pere Ubu are another band who were...
Yeah suicide are pretty darn good. Frankie Teardrop is a genius song, scares the shit out of me, i find it similar to Velvet Underground - The Gift in that...
what do people here think of PIL (public image limited)? I think the first 2 albums are great post-punk...the 3rd isn't bad either. But 'Metal Box' is a...
He was a true genius, a lyricist of such depth and beauty. A voice that sees inside you, gets inside your psyche. I can't put into words the affect Joy...
I cannot believe that so much time has passed by since Ian's death. He will be continually missed by all. He had so much to give, yet it ended so tragically. I...
I have a question about New Order's new album. I may be confused but someone said that the N/O new album comes out in June. However, I just read on a website...
As far as i know, the release state is still end of june..but knowing New Order, they won't rush an album..so if its delayed, i'm sure it'll be worth the...
A lifetime of silence. Fuck you Ian for ending our life. Fuck you Ian for starving our dreams. Thank you Ian for our hopes. Thank you Ian for the memories. ...
Such a loss of talent. Just goes to show that suicide isn't an option.I surely hope he can rest in peace. ... Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping"...
Did anyone see the small snippet in the newspaper today about the much rumoured movie about Ian is actually being made and that (unfortunately) moby is taking...
yeah check this out http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3727795.stm moby's gonna suck tho, i wonder who's going to play ian curtis, Sean Harris did...
Hmn, they are making a movie about Ian's life. Let's all hope that they get the facts straight, and make it honest as possible. Why they chose Moby, who can't...
Apparently, Deborah Curtis is to be a consultant on the movie..so hopefully that will guarantee at least a certain degree of quality...i hope! ... they ... ...
From what I understood, it's going to be based on Deborah's book, now I wasn't able to read it yet, so I don't know if it's biased or not. Regarding Moby, he'd...
Another link, mostly the same stuff but a few interesting new details. http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/film/news/story.jsp?story=522644 I haven't seen The...
The film will, depsite our hopes, probably be awful. And in a way, isn't this film going against what Ian wanted anyway if it's to be based solely on him? He...
There's still a little bit of hope, Shine was wonderful. And to think that if it came out earlier I could have done that for History Extension, it's full of...

Heart and Soul. On another note, I read online that there is a second movie about Ian and Joy Division being considered, called "Transmission", but that it...
How little I know. I had NO idea that Rob Gretton died five years ago. Between Ian Curtis, Martin Hannet, and Gretton, there is a lot of death surrounding Joy...
I saw some pictures (I don't live nearby). Bernard played with Doves, and Hooky also played Heart and Soul with A Certain Ratio. The reviews were very good....
Nah, i think it'll be alan erasmus to go next! Tony Wilson (like him or loathe him) is an integral part of the Factory legend, so the day he dies, for me...
