I recently listened to Unknown Pleasures again. I'd forgotten what a hauntingly beautiful album it is. It really takes you to this phantasmagoric & grey Manchester; not to all its post-industrial hopelessness, but rather the human heat and vulnerability of the post-punk scene.
When I turned 20 a friend recommended that I give Joy Division a listen. I had seen T-shirts with the album cover in it, but I'd never listened to anything by them (admittedly because I thought people who wore said T-shirts were quite annoying). My friend took away all of this apprehension of mine when she told me a bit of Ian Curtis's story and recommended I read a chapter in "Ghosts of My Life" by Mark Fisher talking about the band.
The first time I listened to Disorder I wept, jumped, danced, cried. The music came as if from a distant radio, the sound mystifying and electric, sending shocks through the body, making the heart pump blood in beat. I didn't live what Ian Curtis lived. Argentina is astronomically different from the UK, the 21st century very different from the 20th. But, nonetheless, I think in these times of generalized feelings of impending doom, we're all searching for a guide to come and take us by the hand.
As I always say, at times where the hopelessness gets heavy, there's nothing quite as heart-wrenchingly freeing as dancing to Joy Division.

What an amazing song and last album by these legends. Heavy sad vibes with vocoder and unexpected, overblown distortion that sounds like your speakers are completely blown out. The fact that Mimi passed shortly after this record was released makes it more meaningful and heavy, but hard to deny the sorrow, joy and release that this song delivers

Iโm not going to go into detail of the story of the film because I think it is better to watch when you donโt know the plot of the movie. This film always makes me teary-eyed when I watch it. It is an amazing melodrama made by the legendary Akira Kurosawa. It is one of the most genuinely moving films ever made in my opinion. Great acting as well!

Such an important documentary film, and Iโm glad that my local Lyric Theater showed this film. It was devastating but I hope more people watch this film. Thank you to the people who worked on this film. Iโm so glad this film won an Oscar! The work done in this film is great and I would love to applaud every single one of these people that made this movie.

I thought it said Music Fashion and not Masc Fashion. Apologies, I have no idea if any of these fit. Good luck tho, hope it goes well.
