AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHRRRGGGG!!! I need to see this one too. Because of freaking school I missed out on Control, but I'm gonna buy the freaking DVD anyway.
Joy Division got popular again methinks because of bands like Interpol, Editors, She Wants Revenge, and any other 80's sounding bands that have singers that have deep voices. All of us old dudes (in real life and the press) have been saying that Interpol sounded like Joy Division since we heard their first note. If you couple that with 24 Hour Party People, and the fact that more and more bands were coming out that in some way SOUNDED like Joy Division...well every time one of these bands gets mentioned in the media, Joy Divison is also mentioned. Eventually people's curiosity gets the best of them and they want to know...Who the hell are Joy Division?
Not to mention New Order were touring and doing a fistfull of JD songs...oh yeah, and Hot Topic sells Joy Division T-shirts. That right there brings the band to a whole new audience whether you want to admit it or not. |
