5 Song I Am Into Right Now
Joy Division- No Love Lost
From the EP An Ideal For Living (1978)
The second track off the post punk icon's frist EP, was recorded when they were still a late 70's Manchester style punk band. The musical introduction to the song is ideal for walking rapidly down the street in an urban area.
Genius/GZA- Duel of the Iron Mic
From the album Liquid Swords (1995)
Again, the second track off this Wu Tang member's first solo record. One of the heavier songs off of one of the Wu Tang Clan's heaviest albums any of them ever did. The way thuggish hip hop should still sound.
Datarock- Computer Camp Love
From the album Datarock (2005)
A funny song from these Norwegian, dance punk gents. The song takes a slow dance music to sit to groove and throws in a funny conversation from Revenge of the Nerds and even a little from Grease.
Does It Offend You, Yeah?- We Are Rock Stars
From the album You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into (2008)
Heaviest song on their wonderfully schizophrenic record. These guys don't know if they are rockers or ravers. Any way, if you like this song when you hear the recording, wait til you hear it live.
Dax Riggs- Living Is Suicide
From the album We Sing of Only Blood or Love (2007)
Take a dark bluesy singer songwriter. Now, realize that he used to be in metal bands, gets punky and is as sludgey as anyone. He sings about gothic themes and writes folk songs. Oh fuck it... just listen.

Head Stone Of Ian Curtis Stolen.
As if it isn't odd enough to hear one of your favorite singer's headstone has been stolen, imagine that you heard this the day after you finally saw the movie Control. That's exactly what happened to me, folks. I watched the biopic on the Joy Division singer less than 24 hours before hearing this story. I had been wanting to see it for months and I decide to watch it the day before BBC Manchester reported that the headstone had been stolen from Macclesfield Cemetary.
The headstone simply read "Ian Curtis 18-5-80. Love Will Tear Us Apart."
