I went to see 'Control' during the week with J, her boyfriend and another friend of hers, who earned my undying emnity by whispering to me as the movie started "It's near Manchester". Ah fooking know where Macclesfield is!

I was vaguely aware of Joy Division before Ian Curtis died, but for about a month afterwards I must have heard that album about a thousand times and I got to really hate it. The music sounded better after 27 years. Hearing it immediately transported me back to the scuzzy flat in St Kilda that seemed to have been the center of my world back then. Music does that.
