    I liked the very few songs I know before, and I sort of totally got into them after watching Control...
    Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.

    you've gotta get Unknown Pleasures, I prefer it slightly to Closer. Not saying you gotta get it because I prefer it but you may wish to all the same.

    Have y'all seen Radiohead's version of Ceremony from their recent webcast? It rips.

    I was actually gonna post this...its such a great cover, great performance.

    As for Joy Division, there is such an intensity to their music. Anyone see the movie "control"? Its a film about Joy Division and the life of Ian Curtis in particular. I recommend it.

    Actually I don't think its out on DVD yet. I saw it in an independent theatre in Vancouver about a month ago. If you wanna find it I suggest the indie theatres.

    It's funny because all this time, I thought "Dead Souls" was an original Nine Inch Nails song, from The Crow Soundtrack.

    amazing song, it's got that sense of foreboding that renders the 'scary' acts of today just banal.

    Closer I find hard to take through headphones, Curtis' voice just gets inside my head, creeps me out.
