I absolutely loved Joy Division both pre and post Curtis' death. It used to be tradition to listen to them on the way home from another drab Sunderland defeat back in the early 80's (Hello Nick ) but now when i listen to them i find them really dated and dirge like and not as depressing as I used to. Maybe my Seratonin has increased over the years. I'm gutted but hey ho.

Hope you keeping fine

Totally agree, but I've got Joy Division Oven Gloves.

When the dish is too hot
You’ll never guess what
I’ve got Joy Division oven gloves

It was her desire
I put my fingers in the fire
Cos I’ve got Joy Division oven gloves

I’ve got Joy Division oven gloves

Ooh, ooh, tropical diseases
Ooh, ooh, chemical alarm
Ooh, ooh, I’m a little blasé

In me Joy Division oven gloves
In me Joy Division oven gloves


Inspired me to listen to

Oscar Pettiford - Vienna Blues The Complete Session (1959) Well worth a punt if you have not heard it.

Oscar P (Bass, cello)
Hans Koller (Tenor sax)
Attila Zoller (Guitar, bass)
Jimmy Pratt (Drums)

Regards

Diccus,

Only the early 80's? Thought that you must have been listening continuously last season!

Seriously, Joy Division is only to be listened to in a certain mood. I bought Unknown Pleasures on CD a couple of years ago because it was cheap and I thought I might listen to it more either on the iPod or my system. To date it remains unplayed. I might put it on now, but there again I am too happy

Dave Holland, bass
Steve Coleman, Alto saxophone,

Recorded in 1989. The oldest and the best Holland I own.

i remember cranking this album the first time i ever dropped into a half-pipe and got drunk at a party. i didn't break my neck, but my dad almost did when i returned home the following morning, well past my curfew. they also know how to put on a concert - i will never forget that night.

Hi Diccus!
No matter of depression here.
I have a big nostalgia of those days and veneration for music from those years.
That's because in '83 i moved from my small hometown to a very large city where i had the chance to meet real "rock'n'roll" life and people.
Just like jumping into a swimming pool on a very hot and humid day.
Of course i was the boy from the country side and everything was new and fantastic.
Music was everywhere: in the school, in the bars, in the people's chatting, in the clothes, in the cars, in the long afternoons rushing the city and in the many free saturday evening parties people were use to arrange in garages or in all the free places they could find.
If i compare the energy of those times to these days i see that boys in my place, at 16 years, are wasting their life on a playstation and this makes me feel very sad.
Yes.
I think we were somehow better and i think i've been lucky to live those years the way i did.
I'll never forget that mood and sometimes i like to take out some of those records and buy now those i could not afford in that period.

PS: is this the way someone becomes old and grumpy?


Cheers!

Ella Fitzgerald, mostly recorded 50 years ago - I'm blown away... Great songs and great vocals.

This is superb value £10 for 7 discs - I've had Symphony 2 conducted by Sir Colin Davis on vinyl for some years and saw this for £10 in HMV - so I bought it and am not dissappointed.

WOw - that is good value. Must pop into my local HMV and see if they're offering it (if memory serves it was around £15 on Amazon the other day - still excellent value).

regards, Tam

Stefan,

That's what senility does to me. I ask a friend across the ocean about music the I have at home.

This morning I had a taste for some MAs and went downstairs to the basement to pick one for the car ride. I found there M050A which must have been invisible to my eyes for quite sometime. At least the title is proper.

Anyway, it is always good to read your opinions about the music so I do not see it as a waste.

Thanks again,

Haim

hot hot hot summer and fresh white wine deserve a good record!

hmmm nice white border....
