There’s an article on Young Librarians today, and they interviewed Joe Sanchez from UT. That’s even better than his recent USA Today mention.

John Schafer had a nice, long interview with Anton Corbijn yesterday about his new Ian Curtis biopic Closer. Apparently, and I wasn’t aware of this, Corbijn’s cred with the Joy Division crew is incredibly legit– wait, he took THAT photo?wow. Plus, he moved from Holland to England because of Unknown Pleasures. All I ever did because of Unknown Pleasures was explain a tshirt to other 8th graders.
The audio clip they played during the interview restored the goosebumps I got when I saw the trailer at Film Forum a couple weeks back, before we saw Turturro’s Romance and Cigarettes. The trailer had me transfixed and dying to see the movie, then I looked over at Kelly for her to mirror and vaildate my feelings, and she was all “eh, want some M&Ms?”.” Ouch. I’m gonna make her see it with me.
Incidentally, it’s been a very Joy Division/Factory recent past– the anniversary new balances, RIP Tony Wilson, the Factory graphic design book (so cool it has a podcast, the Hacienda desginer’s Hacienda-like tire stores, and now this article referenced in the SoundCheck interview that I had to track down and read.
I am constantly astounded by all of the great music blogs I keep finding, and it seems like there’s no end to the great stuff. Here’re my favorite 5, hopefully anyone reading this will post theirs in the comments.
Things like Peel and Hype Machine make finding and benefitting from them so much easier…
& to think– I slept on mp3s for so long, clinging to my vinyl (not that I’m not still clinging to that).
My sister Beth was here this weekend, but, for some reason, there is no photographic evidence to support that claim. I really need to start bringing my camera around more. We were having so much fun, though, I kept forgetting it. Highlights included the great pizza at Lucali’s and John Mulaney’s hilarious set at Union Hall. Also, Beth let us take her on our errands and treated them like it was all part of the tour! That is the mark of a great house guest.
