Way Long Ago Wednesday
Jul. 20th, 2016 12:22 amIt seems appropriate that today, being the anniversary of the release of "Closer", Joy Division's final album after the death of Ian Curtis, the random tune generator gives me Incubation, the b-side for Komakino. You should click through to that video--it makes my soul cry, but I am unable to ascertain whether it is with joy or terror.
Somebody you will likely hear a lot about during this reminiscence, Larry, introduced me to Joy Division. He and I had a radio show on the college station KBVR. (You can't lead the pack if you whine like a puppy!) I liked New Order, and one day he asked me if I'd heard about the band they were in before. And when I said no, he fixed that.
This track in particular is an instrumental, which meant we could use it to play under grant announcements or public service announcements--highly treasured among DJs who rolled old school and actually read things on the air. On its own, it sounds too much like She's Lost Control and what I really want to do is put that on instead.
