But I seem to remember that Robert Smith's favourite song, or one of his favourites, was JD's The Eternal. So I guess he must have been quite impressed with Joy Division.<br />While many people love the early Cure albums, do people really think that The Lovecats or Happy the Man are really seriously cool songs? I don't think that Joy Division would ever have sung something like that!Joy Divisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524232247555674523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-72354305715884186602013-03-11T03:35:41.312-05:002013-03-11T03:35:41.312-05:00Safewow.com is committed to offer cheap World of W...Safewow.com is committed to offer cheap World of Warcraft Gold, WOW CD Key, WOW Power Leveling service for all realms to the needs of wow players who want to maximize their gaming experience.<br /><br /><br />tags:<a href="http://www.safewow.com/" title="world of warcraft gold" rel="nofollow"><strong>world of warcraft gold</strong></a> , <a href="http://www.safewow.com/" title="cheap world of warcraft gold" rel="nofollow"><strong>cheap world of warcraft gold</strong></a> ,<a href="http://www.safewow.com/" title="buy world of warcraft gold" rel="nofollow"><strong>buy world of warcraft gold</strong></a><br />chanerainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736011037736336448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-51030362595865137492013-02-03T12:10:39.937-06:002013-02-03T12:10:39.937-06:00Wait a minute Lol just called Simon a hunk, is lol...Wait a minute Lol just called Simon a hunk, is lol gay?<br />Agreed Simon is a stud.Paul Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530470625180677691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-22301045060803576052013-02-03T09:58:27.378-06:002013-02-03T09:58:27.378-06:00Cure loves Love Will Tear Us Apart!

If the music is even for sale it's a sellout. It's expected to make money. The only time I consider someone a sellout is when they endorse a product they wouldn't even use, or clearly write material with the intent of changing their image to something more mainstream, which is more like posing than selling out. Anyway, I don't consider the cure or joy division/new order to be sellouts, but I do consider Peter Hook bastardizing both his past band's back catalogs live as The Light to be completely selling out. He's cashing in on his past status with a bunch of musicians that had nothing to do with it while New Order still exists, is performing live, and apparently plan to record future releases without him. Peter Hook is scumy.

Robert and Barney still seem to get on OK as well judging by Robert's comments when they played the same festival last year.thesmudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15538283435081156324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-46029613461612025882013-01-29T19:34:09.014-06:002013-01-29T19:34:09.014-06:00Lol Tolhurst on Levinhurst's facebook page: &q...Lol Tolhurst on Levinhurst's facebook page: "I don't normally add my two cents to stuff but I understand Peter Hook has a new book out wherein he speaks about a certain 1979 gig that Joy Division supported the Cure at ? Well I remember that particular gig too and my memory is somewhat different from Pete's. See we arranged a show at the Marquee club in London for every Sunday for a month ( called it a month of Sundays I think) and picked every band that opened for us. Because we, LIKED them and wanted to help them out. Not for any reason other than that".S.

But, if you want to talk about sellouts, I distinctly remember going to Coachella in 2005, extremely excited to see New Order. Half-way through their set, my friend looks over at me and says "Is this the f**king Beach Boys, or something?".

I can honestly say that i would probably not want to hear a new joy division song would sound like if it had come out in the last 10 years had they lasted as a band. It's their mythology and mystique that continues to propel them into the stratosphere of iconic bands. The cure have continued their relevance although i don't get too excited when i hear that new music is coming from them, that way i can be pleasantly surprised by one or two tracks.arcticsoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807352347963575042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-80959016400695064402013-01-28T09:00:27.429-06:002013-01-28T09:00:27.429-06:00it's a good book. and funny!it's a good book. and funny!Anttihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316607903922912680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-91537154858740955422013-01-28T00:36:18.123-06:002013-01-28T00:36:18.123-06:00Voodooman93, I don't think being part of a mov...Voodooman93, I don't think being part of a movie soundtrack is selling out. I quite how "Dredd Song" pumps me up, though I am a bit embarrassed by it.<br /><br />Joy Division have lots of songs that I find terribly boring. Also, the band only got a chance to make 2 full albums plus some singles. Sorry that Robert didn't hang himself in 1982 for a similar track record.<br /><br />Robert made clear that, in order to get ownership of his back catalogue, he had to agree to The Cure's music being used in 2 ads. He didn't want it.Muldfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325026777789045336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-38906465034394135612013-01-27T18:06:43.948-06:002013-01-27T18:06:43.948-06:00Agree, love The Bunnymen too!Agree, love The Bunnymen too!kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14458291008878055897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-32691425683974961692013-01-27T17:23:12.322-06:002013-01-27T17:23:12.322-06:00robert bad mouths everybody as well .. or at least...robert bad mouths everybody as well .. or at least he used to.pyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01039735438815378379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-50067961133605959142013-01-27T16:26:38.242-06:002013-01-27T16:26:38.242-06:00Soda Stereo!
