Because you're still flying high on being a saviour and all these days, I'll let that pass.

So for the anti-JD club I have Inder and RP on my side!

So do the Blue Jays, but I don't interrupt the baseball thread for that.

Ian Curtis = Mr. Bean

But Mr. Bean probably has a better singing voice.

Never been a big fan however Love Will Tear Us Apart is one of my all time fave singles.

Thier sudden popularity is almost making me not want to like them anymore... :(

It could be from the movie being released in the past year or so, I've seen many ads for it on the internet. I've never knowingly listened to Joy Division not for any particular reason, just never have, that goes for a lot of bands though.

Control gets the eumaas thumbs up.

I keed. I keed. I just picked up that Stalin bio you recommended some time back. After I get through the 10 or so other books I have queued up, I'm on it like a rat on a cheeto.

Robert Service's Stalin bio.

Joy Division's good music when you're wallowing in self-pity.

I just bought Control today.

It's sitting unwrapped on the counter. I'm contemplating perhaps watching it.

I'm sure Echo's going to be proud of me...

Now I've just finished watching it. How bloody UPLIFTING was that?!

I thought it was very good. I think they romanticized Ian a bit too much, and that Sam dude sings nothing like Ian....but I guess the movie had to be made like this in order to capture the audiences emotions, eh? Which it does....it's the first movie I got choked up over in a looooong time.

I need to cheer myself up somehow....
