It's hard to consider Radar Eyes' self-titled debut anything other than a pop record. While Radar Eyes is an amalgamation of garage, psychedelic and punk rock, the band manages to tightly piece those distinct sounds together. The album maybe rough around the edges tonally, but it's crystal clear in delivering a melodic palette, which provides just the right amount of catchiness and accessibility without losing that rock and roll edge. While Radar Eyes touch on the acidic nature of Spacemen 3 or [...]
05 I generally enjoy covers that are unexpected; covers that sound nothing like the original. This is not any of those things, but as I was setting out to make a list of covers to post, this kept coming to mind. I suppose it's a bit of a guilty pleasure: The Cure covering Joy Division. Two of the dreary, British bands I lived on in high school. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is probably one of my top ten favorite songs of all time. I can't imagine not hearing it and feeling a twinge [...]
Last week the web was wriggling with outrage over The Disney Store Corporation offering for sale a Mickey Mouse™ T-shirt in the graphic style of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album cover -- not that the iconic white-on-black waveform image (plucked from the Cambidge Encyclopedia of Astronomy by drummer Stephen Morris) was any stranger to absurd marketing schemes . Punters pointed out the irony in Disney (prehaps innocently) associating their Family Friendly™ brand with Joy Division, whose lead singer hung [...]

The Unknown Pleasures shirt is now a collector's item.
Disney caused a stir earlier this week when they announced they were selling Mickey Mouse tee-shirts inspired by the cover of Joy Division's classic 1979 album Unknown Pleasures . As soon as Disney got wind of the rumblings throughout the music community over the odd juxtaposition of images/commercialization of the iconic album cover, they quickly pulled the shirt from their Internet store . If you're worried you missed out on your chance to get a hold of the shirt, however, fear not; Pitchfork has directed readers to eBay , where [...]
Joy Division 's Unknown Pleasures has one of the most iconic album covers of all time, and throughout the years individuals of all merchandising types have been able to capitalize on Peter Saville's design. However, with the release of the new Mickey Mouse shirt that takes inspiration from the iconic album cover, one can't help but ask, "Why?" Firstly, it's easy to see why this is such a great idea. Working on the pure novelty of it, music nerds of all shapes and sizes might be brought into the idea of having the altered [...]
The times, they are a-changin': months ago, The New York Times quoted Bon Iver 's Justin Vernon as saying "We should not be gathering in a big room and looking at each other and pretending this is important," in reference to the Grammy Awards (and Bon Iver's four nominations). Then, the above promotional poster surfaced. No word yet as to whether or not Vernon & co. will be performing on the broadcast. Old Ideas , the new album by Leonard Cohen - his 12th, in fact - [...]
I'm a label loyalist, so when our friends at Hardly Art send something our way, I'm pretty much guaranteed to like it. Perhaps that leads me to make judgmental errors in regards to what's good and what's not, but in the case of Black Marble , I think I'm right on with this one. The vinyl release of their Weight Against the Door EP will be out on Valentine's Day, and I hope it features just as many darkened tracks as this number. [...]
Für alle Tatort-Verächter: Eine Doku für den Sonntagabend – Joy Division, mit intimen Einblicken und interessanten Wortmeldungen. Zu Joy Division muss man ja nicht viel sagen, ikonische Band, ikonischer Sound, oft imitiert, nie erreicht. Haben mit "Unknown Pleasures" eines der grossen Alben des vergangenen Jahrhunderts abgeliefert, Sänger Ian Curtis starb zu früh. Daraus erwachsen ist eine weitere ikonische Band der Achtziger Jahre, New Order. In dieser Doku kommen viele, viele Menschen zu Wort, die etwas mit der Band zu tun hatten. Freunde, Weggefährten, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris und Bernard Sumner, [...]
As we get set to sign off for this week, we leave you with this fan made video for one of our favorite tracks ever. This is Joy Division from their 1978 debut EP, An Ideal For Living, with No Love Lost.
Can Joy Division's 1979 debut make you feel the pleasures of a normal man? It's the 64th most acclaimed album of all time. We'll share a drink and step outside for another Counterbalance. Klinger: This isn't the most profound revelation in the world, but I'm going to say it anyway. Since we're started Counterbalance, it's become increasingly clear to me that critics have an entirely different sense of criteria than the rest of the listening population. How else to explain Prince's Sign o' the Times turning up higher on the Great List than Purple Rain? Or Trout Mask Replica [...]

Spinner.comFiled under: News , Holy Hell Courtesy of Disney So yeah, this happened. Disney has inexplicably designed a Mickey Mouse logo based on -- you guessed it -- Joy Division 's 'Unknown Pleasures.' One of the U.K.'s darkest bands will lend their logo to the happiest place on earth. According to a listing on the Disney store website (via Pitchfork ), "Inspired by the iconic sleeve of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album, this [...]

Weird Merch Alert: Disney's Joy Division T-Shirt

Stereogum
StereogumIt's hard to tell whether this is the most punk rock thing the Disney corporation has ever done or whether the company is just trolling the entire internet for the hell of it. Either way, Disney's online store is now selling the shirt that you see on that waxy Justin Long-looking guy above, as the Daily Swarm points out . It's Peter Saville's iconic design for Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album cover, except mutated into the shape of Mickey Mouse's face. Seeing as how Mickey Mouse and Ian Curtis are on opposite ends of every [...]

Le MellotronUnknown Pleasures , sûrement un des albums de new-wave les plus édité et ré-édité, et surtout le symbole de toute une génération early 802s. Premier album studio du groupe de Ian Curtis faisant suite à leur EP An Ideal For Living , Unknown Pleasures est enregistré en avril 79 dans les studios Strawberry à Stockport dans la banlieue de Manchester avec les premières économies du groupe. L'album est tout simplement un incontournable de la musique new-wave et post-punk, de part sa composition des morceaux et du charismatique [...]
