44 years ago today
In memory of Ian Curtis, who suffered from both epilepsy and depression, took his life on May 18, 1980, on the eve of Joy Division's first North American tour, and just before the release of their second album
RA!D is playing with the strangely cool Major Pie, along with the 80s hardcore stylings of World Breaker up in Wilkes-Barre, PA at Curry Donuts on Saturday, Feb 3, 2024.
Earlier this year, driving around Vík, Iceland and this song came on the
Rás 2 radio station and I was floored. From their bandcamp: "This song stems from the overturning of Roe v. Wade and talks about the patriarchy, the oppression of women, reproductive autonomy as well as women's rights."
C'est une belle journée. On est en vie le soleil brille.
Et si on se sortait un album qui a 42 ans? Un truc comme nous, qui n'a pas vieilli d'une ride.
The Sound est incroyablement inconnu du grand public et pourtant si vous discutez avec des DJ de Joy Division / The Cure tous les connaissent et les mettent au même niveau.
Allez comprendre...
Gardez cet album précieusement, c'est un bijou inestimable. Vous vous ferez des amis en le diffusant 😁.
Post-punk is a reaction to the punk movement of the 70s - 80s. It features more elaborate production, depressive themes and gothic instrumentation (often angular and sharp). This genre is one of my absolute favorites.
So far 99% of my #lemmy use has been spamming the Alternative Nation community with #postpunk songs.
TBH I like the #Fediverse for posting #music. On Twitter only THE BAND would react and RT to their followers, which is great but the point is to proselytize to people who are not already listening to the band!
Over here I am getting zero social media reacts by my favourite artists but I hope they're getting more listeners!
