...so let's start a new tradition: It's the Rave Recers Wednesday playlist!

Watched 24 hour party people again and it got me in a joy division kinda mood. Decided to commit most of my JD to CD-R, from vinyl. So I listened to just about all the Joy Division I have, (Unknown Pleasures/Closer/Still, various 12" singles) and recorded all of Pleasures and Closer about half of Still and all of the singles. What a great band they were. I also thought I'd track down the latest info on the upcoming "bio-pic" on the life of Ian Curtis, based on the book by Curtis' widow. Unfortunately I couldn't find much about the project. I did confirm that the rumors that Jude Law was going to play Curtis, were false as are the ones that connect Moby to the project. I don't think they'd make a mistake if they chose the guy who played Curtis in 24 Hour Party People. Also found a site with lyrics for just about every JD song ever written, confirms my suspicions that Curtis belongs on a short list of the greatest lyricists in the history of rock.

I did listen to other stuff too. Here's a list;

Interpol - Antics
Strokes - Room On Fire
Shins - Chutes too Narrow
Chameleons - Strange Times
Magazine - Magic, Murder & the Weather
Sparklehors - It's A Wonderful Life
Decemberists - The Tain

Yes - The Yes Album
Janis Ian - Breaking Silence
Sound - Jeopardy
The Wrens - Meadowlands
Stereolab - Dots & Loops

A nice week.

So, what have you got?
