Hardformat lovingly unpacks the packaging of the first Durutti Column album : For some of us this album approaches the status of a secular holy relic because, in addition to the beauty of the object and the music, Vini Reilly states that Joy Division were paid by Tony Wilson to assemble the sandpaper sleeves to earn some extra money. In another report, Ian Curtis allegedly did most of the work while the other three sat watching television in the next room. -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, [...]
Good news, following on from the appeal for help for Vini Reilly earlier this week: he's had enough offers of help to get him through the tough patch . The Durutti Column website has an update: I've just spoken to Vini and told him how much has been donated by fans and music lovers worldwide – he's ecstatic. He's said that enough has now been donated to ensure that he can pay off all of the backlog of rent that he owed, and he's asked me to pass on his huge gratitude to you [...]

Things have been a bit rough for Vini Reilly recently - he had a stroke back in 2010, and since then money has been tight. His nephew, Matt Reilly, is trying to organise donations to help get him through the tough time. -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch
Six Of The Best is a semi-regular feature that pokes, prods and persuades your favourite bands, bards and barometers of hip opinion to tell us six of the best tracks they’ve ever heard. The tracks could be mainstream million-sellers or they could be obfuscatingly obscure, it doesn’t matter. The only criteria set is that, aye, they must be Six of the Best . Think of it like a mini, groovier version of Desert Island Discs… Number 12 in a series : It's not often these days that a [...]
Vini Reilly is the public face of The Durutti Column, the first signing to Tony Wilson's nascent Factory Records way back in 1978. Forever pasty-faced and ill-looking, he's as wiry and fragile as the high 'e' string on his guitar, and on the rare occasion when this Wythenshaw will o' the wisp pops his head out in public, he's quietly spoken and totally intense. Clearly, he prefers his music to do the talking. The Durutti Column's first album, The Return of the Durutti Column [...]

Von The Durutti Column wird ein "verschollenes" Album veröffentlicht. Die Lieder endlich in ihrem natürlichen Verbund zu hören ist eine Wohltat. Vini Reilly hat sich mit The Durutti Column durch neoklassische Kompositionen bis Post Punk und Indierock bewegt. Die kürzlich veröffentlichten "Short Stories For Pauline", auch als das verschollene vierte Album mystifiziert, lassen keinen Zweifel an der Weite des musikalischen Horizonts seines Schöpfers. Es sollte ein ausschliesslich instrumentales Album werden. Zur Zeit der geplanten Veröffentlichung (1983) wurde es von Factory Records [...]

In honor of Independence Day, KEXP is saluting some of our favorite indie record labels who's DIY-spirit helped revolutionize the music industry. As an independent radio station ourselves, KEXP is thrilled to give a 13-gun salute to these pioneers with a series of label spotlights through the Fourth of July. In this profile, we look to one of our UK forefathers, Factory: In 1978, Factory Records was established by Tony Wilson and Alan Erasmus in Manchester. Wilson brought the business drive and entrepreneurial spirit needed to create a competitive [...]
The first time I heard Another Green World , my mind was reeling with questions: What does this remind me of? How is he pulling this amazing thing off? What the hell did he just do there? In short, I was enthralled with nearly every aspect of it. While I instantly wanted to tell the world about what I had been repeating over and over on my iPod, it still took me a while to form the adequate words to do it justice... even now it seems slightly underwritten. After listening to In Dreams [...]
Bugün 18 Mayıs Yine akşam oluyor. Güneş batıyor, sokak lambalarının ışığı titriyordu. Solgun bir geceden arta kalan yağmur kırıntıları ve rutubetli bir parlaklık. Hey Ian anlıyorum seni. Seninki de bir tür direniş. Bırak yağmur aklını başından alsın tedirgin bir ruhun yol anıları eşliğinde. Bazen delirmek en güzel çözümdür belkide diyordun zaman zaman. Bereketli bir yalnızlığın içinde parlak bir ışık gibiydin sen çocuk. Benden bu kadar dedin, o ilmeği boynuna geçirdin ve son bir defa dünyaya yaşlı gözlerle baktın. Belkide haklıydın: Aslında yaşamaya çalışarak her geçen daha fazla kirlenmek istemiyordun. [...]
MIXTAPE MONDAYS! THE EXTRA SPECIAL SLOWED AND THROWED EDITION! I am extremely honored and elated to be premiering a very special mixtape today. Finally someone has really understood the depths of my weird, and not only have they gotten a hold of it, they’ve made me a slave for it. If only you could see me handcuffed, on my knees begging for the depths of my weird to be brought forth like some kind of offering to the music gawds. Trust me, you don’t want to see that. Actually, you pervs would probably love [...]
A quiet week around here for many reasons, The new Asa & With Joyful Lips record is as close to comfortable, with strings and snapping low maintenance dubby drums, as we're going to get. For the rest ( go here ). Fingerbanger 1 : Asa, With Joyful Lips - Forgotten (don lowed) -- You might just want to pack this one up in your picnic basket and wait for warmer days. Unless you hate cute, sparse, indy music... then you might want to just move along. [...]
"Aslında herşey çok başka olurdu... biraz çaba gösterseydin" demiştin ya bana -üzüntülü- hani hiç sesimi çıkarmamış ve pencereye dönmüştüm. Kapı sesiyle saç tellerime kadar biriken ağrıyı atmak istercesine haykırarak. Her neyse. Ben beklemeye devam ediyorum, senin burada kalman doğru olmazdı zaten. Hoşçakal diyememiştim ya sana, Hoşçakal... "Oğuz Atay" The Concretes - Good Evening (Radio Edit) Frankie Rose - Night Swim [...]

Manchester müzik haritasında önemli bir rol oynayan Factory Records bir nevi Malcolm Mclaren rolüne soyunmuş dahi karakter Tony Wilson ve Alan Erasmus önderliğinde 1978 yılında Mutluluğun resmini yapabilir misin Abidin? diyerek yola koyuldu. Öykü basit post-punk'ın karanlık köşelerinden yola çıkıp, gittikçe önem kazanan acid house etkili dans müziğine geçiş. Şirketin felsefesi şu cümlelerle özetleniyor aslında. Our artist own all the music and we own nothing . Daha az cümle daha fazla müzik diyerek sizi o dönemde Factory Record etiketiyle basılmış kayıtlarla başbaşa bırakıyorum. [...]
