Yep just finished watching it slightly delayed on playback. Always forget just how much I used to like the early Joy Division stuff. I mean, I still really like it, I just never listen to it anymore!
Whilst that documentary featured some of the most Manc accents ever committed to tape ("it were dead arrrrrrrrteh!") the line that stood out the most for me in the whole thing was actually Johnny Rotten at the near mythical Sex Pistols Free Trade Hall gig in 1975:
"Where do you all come from?" "Manchester!" "F@ck that..."

I still listen to it sometimes. Those two albums have and always will be in my all time top ten. Brilliant, brilliant music.

Musical taste eh? Awful is me being polite. I'm not picking a fight, and expecting justification of why they are good. In fact please have a vote amongst yourselves about which song of theirs I should include on the next coach playlist. ( I'll probably turn it down though)

bbc 4 has being doing some great stuff for years on a friday night.
dont care if its 'joy division', 'Fleetwood mac' or 'johns children', love all the stories and find it all facsinating.
i remember seeing kit lambert on a 'WHO 'night many years ago ...telling a story of how he had 2 bowls of pharmecuticals on his desk at work one for uppers one for downers and how would take the pills according to who was on the other end of the phone, usually doing both , before going off to the scotch of st james with the yardbirds for an orgy of some description.
beats 'celebrity big brother' and 'escape to the fkn country'
and 'atmosphere' by joy division , imo, is beautiful.

Saw it was on last night, but had visitors, so will have to catch up on it later.
Loved JD though. Thought that they'd turned themselves into good musicians and that Curtis's songwriting might take them into very interesting places. Then came news of his death. Still remember hearing it in school and being shellshocked.
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
I was crazy about them as a 16-year-old, but I find them impossible to listen to now. In a way, I wish I'd never heard of them, because they encouraged my teenage tendency to be gloomy and introverted (and shabby!). If I'd been able to admit that I really liked Earth, Wind & Fire and other more cheerful stuff I might have been happier, and got more girls.
Dead Souls is far and away their best, by the way, New Dawn Fades in second. Tells you everything you need to know about them.
By the way, I nearly p*ssed myself laughing when Richard Kirk of Cabaret Voltaire claimed on Synth Britannia that his music had inspired the 1981 riots. And I was a fan.

Richard Kirk has always talked b0ll0cks and I was also a huge fan until they went all disco jumping on a bandwagon. I used to laugh when he said " I've been making this music for about 10 years" . In 1976. Yeah of course you were Richard. So before the Velvets you were influenced by the Velvets !!

Interesting programme on a band I wasn't that fond of at first, but steadily grew on me and I think I appreciate them more now than I did back then. Never liked the reincarnated New Order.
As Disco said, BBC 4 has churned out some great music documentaries. I find myself watching programmes on bands and genres I wouldn't normally bat an eyelid or ear lobe to ie country music [American] or documentaries on the likes of Bert Bacharach and find I quite enjoy them. Think I'll draw the line on Boy George next week though.
On a side note, anyone watching Reginald D Hunter's Songs of the South programme on BBC2 on Saturday evenings? Good stuff.
There aint half been some clever bastards.

As you are so open-minded about it, I will pass on the opportunity thanks.

Croydon, on an unrelated note, how did you get on with Syro?
I wasn't too keen the first couple of listens, but played it again last night and really liked it. Nothing revolutionary on it, but really well made I thought.

Yes I like it mate. Are you aware of what he has done on Soundcloud though?
