joy division

I think you should listen to some Joy Division. I hadn't heard their music before watching the movie Control, but they are rocking. Here is what Bono has to say about Joy Division:

It would be harder to find a darker place in music than Joy Division. Their name, their lyrics and their singer were as big a black cloud as you could find in the sky. And yet I sensed the pursuit of God, or light, or reason...a reason to be. With Joy Division, you felt from this singer, beauty was truth and truth was beauty, and theirs was a search for both.

Here are some playlists from imeem:

• Unknown Pleasures+
• Closer+

And here are some live performances on Youtube:

She's Lost Control

And, if you're going to be post-punk and rock out with some Joy Division, you might as well go punk too and listen to the Clash:

• London Calling
• The Clash

Here is K's favorite scene from Control:


I do not like hot dogs!
