Song of the Day: 18/05/2010

Joy Division - No Love Lost



Today is thirty years since Ian Curtis' death. He was the same as I am now. Here's one of his earliest efforts. He wrote this (a passage from Ka-tzetnik 135633's House of Dolls, about the Nazi concentration camp horror from which the group took their name: officers would keep groups of Jewish women aside simply for rape and abuse; make up a significant proportion of the lyrics) as a mere 21 year old. One of the greats, a tortured genius. Rest easy.

Apologies for sombre tones!

Dan.
