I finally got around to watching Control, the film about the last few years of Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis' abbreviated life. Based on the book written by Curtis' widow, Deborah, it was interesting, compelling, and moving. It becomes even more of each when viewed along with the 2008 documentary, Joy Divison, and the 2002 film 24 Hour Party People, which touches on the Ian Curtis/Joy ...

This evening I had the pleasure of watching a small independent screening: of Control--a recent biopic about Ian Curtis, the late frontman for Joy Division.Joy Division's early photographer Anton Corbijn directed the film. Corbijn gives us a straight-no-chaser account of reality as it existed for Curtis. Bleak as the gray skies of Manchester in winter, and suitably shot in black and white. Nota...

I found out about this band, Joy Division, from my mother who found out about them because she is a huge fan of The Killers. The Killers recently covered a song called Shadowplay by this English band, Joy Division. A few days ago my mom got a hold of the new independent film, Control. It is about Ian Curtis, lead singer, and his struggle in life.Since watching that film I have been in love w...

Remember my favorite nephew? (He turned 12 last October 16th.) One day some months ago, he marches into my bedroom, a tad wild-eyed with excitement, sets down his PSP on the bed next to me and goes, "Dude, can't wait to show you these."...And that is why I love him to death. Happy Halloween, kiddies.^ The Only Mistake (Pennine Sound Studios, Oldham - Piccadilly Radio Station)

The memorial to the Joy Division frontman was taken from a Macclesfield's cemetery reports the BBC.Curtis was 23 when he hanged himself in the kitchen of his Macclesfield home after having viewed Werner Herzog's film Stroszek and listening to Iggy Pop's The Idiot in May 1980, shortly before the band were due to go on tour in the US.He met Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook in 1976 who he would later...

See you later 2007. In some ways, especially here on MOG, you've been great, but in many other ways, you've been a crashing bore, or worse. Don't go away mad, just go away.Now let's bring on 2008!

My childhood Christmas memories are a bit more non-traditional than most, less family-centered. Since it was just me and my mom, that made sense for us.My mom would make me wait until breakfast (homemade bran muffins with raisins) to open presents, then would stand back and allow me to go after them all. After looking over everything, and thanking Mom for it all, cane the big fun; putting on th...
