“Love Will Tear Us Apart”

I know, I’m a day late. “Love Will Tear Us Apart” released on June 27, 1980. That makes it like, what, 20 years old? 

In reply to Duke :

That made me laugh harder than I should have.

It's 22nd birthday...

...again. 

New Dawn Fades will forever be my Joy Division song.  I loved covering it during my band days 30+ years ago.  I wish we had a good recording from when we did it.

Not the best audio, but the early Joy Division performance is good:

I think Transmission is probably favorite Joy Division song, but there's always this image :)

And you’ve seen this version of Transmission, right?

I was wearing a Japanese version of the Joy Division shirt pictured above and a random stranger still recognized the album art and said, "Nice Joy Division shirt!" I was dumbfounded.

Not familiar with the band, but they got the title wrong.

A few years ago, the band made some “reimagined” videos. 

This one’s dark and helpless. Perfectly captures the song.

And very related, check in on your buds.
