    New Dawn Fades makes me cry every time I hear it. As does Ceremony, I know it's New Order but it's really a Joy Division song. There was a quote yesterday in the English press from Hooky about how JD are bigger now than they were when they were around. That says everything.
    im listening still now..amazing version of New Dawn Fades,Ceremony,Shadowplay,Decades,Dead souls
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    I got all 3 special edition CDs here at work and throw them in occasionally. What could have been will be the question that will never be answered, just like so many others that have left us way too early.

    they borrow their new name from the prostitution wing of a Nazi concentration camp at world war 2

    Agreed. I watched some Joy Division documentaries and thought he nailed it.

    I've been listening to Joy Division for about 15 years now. Though I was into New Order before I listened to Joy Division.

    Closer is an amazing album. It was released a couple of months after Curtis killed himself.

    I recently saw the movie 'Control' and thought they did a brilliant job. All of the actors were superb.

    This was their first ever t.v performance in 1978. It's pretty fucking awesome:

    Amazingly talented. Such a huge loss. But his work will live on forever. He had just as much influence on my musical tastes as Kurt Cobain did.

    Finally bought a 'Best of' compilation to give myself
    some home-schooling in Joy Division 101.
    I too notice the Depeche Mode vibe, though I won't complain
    'cause Depeche Mode rocks my quiet little world.
    Cheers.
    'Cause you don't give blood and take it back again.

    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    I'm such a big Joy Division fan, I named my son after Ian Curtis.
