Awesome Interview!!! I played JD songs in my teen garage band and knew zip about them. Just liked the sound. Thanks for the insight.

Great interview. The unplayed vinyl story is properly eerie, right? Oh, and I'm with you, I was well into New Order 1st (thru the club scene) and when expanding into their discography did I learn that they were Joy Division. For lack of a better term, I "prefer" N.O., just because I'm into the electronics, the synths, the production sound, but I still like J.D., and mostly have a respect for it and it's fans. I always viewed JD/NO as two sides of the same coin, like light/dark spirits that orbit each other but can never touch. And the drama/tension behind the scenes is almost to be expected. To me, being an artist, it's clear as day: the more talent all the members of a band have, the more they'd fight, not less. Not to say bands that get along long-term don't have talent, but the friction usually comes from the creative vision, the fact they each have great value. So, great bands that can keep it together are the exception, the rule is they usually are on borrowed time from the get-go. And the longer they manage it, it's a miracle. Anyway, great interview, lots of insight.
