Joy Division is more important that you can even realize


So it's a stretch whether or not i can justify posting right now, as TECHNICALLY i'm not drunk, but i'm buzzing off two glasses of wine. Close enough. It's going to be kind of brief anyways.

Control. (Movie about Joy Division, for those who don't know.) I saw it today. I fought back the tears. Successfully. Although i kind of wish i had cried, but Lori was sitting next to me, so that might have been awkward... but if she hadn't been there, i would have cried. All i want to do is listening to Joy Division records for the next week. But the new Radiohead and Burial will probably have to be thrown in there too..... so Joy Division, and new Radiohead and Burial will be in heavy rotation for a while.

Also, just in case you're wondering, i own a Factory Records original copy of Unknown Pleasures. And Closer. And about 4 or 5 other Joy Division special edition vinyls. Two of which are picture discs. Oh, and an original "Love Will Tear Us Apart" single from 1980.

On a related note, if you're a female, and you want me to fall in love with you, go through my records and tell me how amazing it is that i own a Factory Records original copy of Unknown Pleasures and i will probably ask you to marry me immediately.
