Sad that you didn't live through the 70s and 80. Best music ever.

I KNOW I AM SO ANNOYED.

I have watched the movie 4 times. I always watch the documentary on New Year’s Eve. I know I would be boogying on the dance floor to crazy little thing called love

Goodness me. The damaged goods from the floods. Gunna be some full land fill.
Any of it get broken down ?

Most of it flowed down the Brisbane River by the looks of it. Prolly washed up on Moreton island by now.

[Makeshift Park]

Strong contender for my favourite song ever made by anybody.
Up there with Love Will Tear Us Apart, Gimme Shelter, Strawberry Fields Forever, Shook Ones Pt 2, At Last, Sinnerman, and NY State of Mind.
Hits me like a freight train every time it comes on and I never want it to end.

Rest in peace Shane Warne.

Shocked...

Shocked...

Absolutely flawed when I heard this just now.. unbelievable

And clean stadium advertising

Rest in peace Shane Warne.

Shocked...

Shocked and very saddened.

 

[Swallow_Wood]

Its very rare for someone to elevate themselves to the very top of their sport and remain utterly themselves without cracking under the pressure.

Gone far too soon. RIP absolute legend

I can’t believe it.

Really?

That's probably my least favorite JD/NO song.

How long you reckon till there's completely fabricated news videos and subsequently a paid subscription service to filter out the fake news (according to ones own biases of course) and agendas throughout the web, like a personal feed editor?

I think Bendigo would be pretty safe. Much more so than the Canberra experiment. Prolly similar commute time for plenty.

At least we could drive to Bendigo games or catch a train. Much more accessible and affordable for Vic Members.

There's plenty there in the Rooshop if you want guernsey's, a baseball cap and polo tops. But that's about it isn't it?

Next 12 months maybe?

I dunno. It may have been happening for years.

Never heard it before, but it was excellent. Better than everything on your list except At Last and Sinnerman (I'd find it hard to pick a Nina Simone song, but that would definitely be up there with Mississippi Goddamn, Turn Me On, The Other Woman, The Pusher ... well as I said I'd find it hard to choose).

Billy Joel, ugh.

Really?

That's probably my least favorite JD/NO song.

I find it strange that people kind of see New Order as just a continuation Joy Division. Feels like there was a real break and stylistically they changed a lot.

They're different but they're also the same musos.

That JD song atmosphere for example. Its like five Cure records in one song.

So its more they're like ground breaking musicians and Ian Curtis was just someone who sang with them for a while.

Ian Curtis was more than just the vocalist, he was the lyricist as well and the music kind of reflected those lyrics. I wonder whether Joy Division would have gone in the same direction as New Order if he hadn't died. When Bon Scott died AC/DC replaced him, and they just kept making the same music except worse (apart from BIB). Where they kept the name, JD changed it and it feels like they were reborn as a new band too.

Nothing from Power, Corruption and Lies onwards really sounds much at all like JD. Certainly nothing you could really compare to the Cure. I will grant you though that Movement does feel like a bridge between the two styles.

Shocked...

I went to his status outside the MCG earlier today. Felt obligated to in a strange way.

It was sombre walking there from Richmond station.

Alot changed then tho. Post punk went in alot of directions and resulted in electronic and industrial music as well. There was this term "new wave" back then.

Part of that was due to technology becoming available to make electronic music easily. Well more easily than previous. And because of that who knows what would have happened if Curtis was still alive too. He may have got into electronic music without the need to formally learn other instruments. Or not, like I said... who knows? His death happened around the time changes were taking place anyway so we'll never really know the answer to that. I get the impression the New Order's music changed because it could and because they were creative people exploring the options that suddenly were opened up by technology but I agree you can't say one way or the other whether that opportunity would have been the same with Curtis still there.

But that's why I pointed out the Cure - there is alot more going on in some Joy Division songs than some other post punk bands managed.Alot of bands did follow that path from punk thru post punk into electronic music just because the opportunity for new forms of musical expression was suddenly there as a result of technology. Its seems that would have happened with Morris, Hook and Sumner anyway cos they were already moving that way a little bit in JD.

But who knows how all the band dynamics would have worked out.

So much was going on back then. New technology obviously and then the new Alt dance movement that really led to so many changes across society. Eventually leading to edm, raves, ecstacy and the huge changes that caused in young English people ... all of this stuff was just kicking off when New Order formed out of Joy Division.

Maybe they wouldn't have embraced those changes if Curtis was still alive. Or maybe he would have too. Its another one of those things we'll never know.

Interwoven with all of this is a nightclub based in manchester called the hacienda..
it was pretty much the birth place to a lot of differing music genres.
