NEW ORDER (THE BAND)

sorry ian, but we’re making bops now! just kidding. from the devastation of ian curtis’ suicide in 1980 rose new order, a band that needs no introduction. everyone in the world knows ”blue monday,” the most lucrative 12“ of all time. however, if you move through new order’s discography, you see the (obvious) influence of joy division— most joy divison/new order fans know ceremony was originally a joy divison song (and there’s allegedly a few lost recordings of ian singing it). however, i think if you listen to ”closer,” joy division’s second and last album released after ian curtis’ death, you see the natural progression OF joy divison. “isolation,” the second closer track, has the synth makings of something from new order’s early days. one of my favorite new order songs, “every little counts,” has the simplicity, eccentric/sometimes macabre lyricism, and instrumental makings of a joy division song. (i’ve also mentioned before that the ending orchestral flourish is very reminiscent of ”atmosphere,” one of my most beloved joy division tracks.) the influence they’ve had, the honor they’ve brought to ian, and the path the band has moved through is something that makes us acolytes of joy division-new order smile with happiness. tl;dr: listen to “krafty” by new order (from 2005’s ”waiting for the siren’s call”) and try to feel a negative emotion

Provoker

Californian post-punk band that I have been listening to constantly these last few months. They got their start as a solo project scoring soundtracks for fake horror movies and it eventually evolved into its current form. Personal favorite songs by them: Valley Ghoul It’s in my head Blue Sheen

When your new book is finally available for preorder ❤️

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
