Joy Division love thread

[Simon Bar Sinister]

It's been 30 years since Ian Curtis' death, and the reach of his and Joy Division's influence continues seemingly unabated. Indeed, there's a tribute happening tonight:

if you can make it, you should...but if you can't, you can help make one here.

I actually just listened to Joy Divison recently, thanks to Nocker.

Its an interesting sound, definitely.

I'm not sure about hitting up the tribute night yet, though...I suppose it depends on how plans roll out.

[Joey Deadcat]

Joy Division, folks, Joy Division...

[Nate Kriepp]

Just hit myself with a bunch of Joy Division yesterday.

[DJ Nocker]

*cries* Ian Died today :(

[Joey Deadcat]

Joy Division - they were the band that did that song Love Will Tear Us Apart that you folks hear (or walk out on) pretty often on the CC dancefloor.

After singer Ian Curtis' death the surviving went on to form New Order. They were the ones who originally did that song Blue Monday.

I'm trying to get into them. wiL Francis (my love from the band Aiden) is into them and actually has "Love Will Tear Us Apart" tattooed across his collarbone area. Not bad so far. Very cool.

reading this thread makes me feel like i'm an old fart.

in any case, i must add to it the classic:

Q: Why did Ian Curtis kill himself?

A: Cuz he didn't want to be in New Order.

[Eevee]

Hey now...New Order isn't that bad.

Buuuuut...with this new night at City...does this mean there will be more JD played (not saying the current DJs don't play it ever)?

Probably; and not just Love Will Tear Us Apart .

And does this mean I'll finally hear Sex Gang Children on the CC dancefloor of all places?

[synthier]

Hey now...New Order isn't that bad.

Eh, yeah... but... it's the comparison that makes it worth saying.

w00t!

Eh, yeah... but... it's the comparison that makes it worth saying.

I suppose?
