Have you been listening to Joy Division again?

I don't think so
I don't think I know them either, but their name rings a bell.

Northern miserablists. Avoid.

They're awesome.

You experience awe when you hear 'Hooky's' basslines?
I am awestruck that most people cannot see them for the shit that they are.

He's an arrogant fucker.
Quite a nasty twat really.

Wife beater and all.

Yeah I remember him twatting Caroline at some Granada studios shindig.
I like some of "The Other Two's" music, quite upbeat and cheerful.

Apparently the only reason he played so much in the upper register
was because he struggled to reach the lower frets on account of wearing a stupidly long guitar strap, for no other reason than to draw attention to himself. The fucking ponce.

I have heard this. A 'fucking tosser', if you will.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 14:27, Reply)

In the same vein, I've also heard that he has suffered chronic back pain
due to the effect of poncing about in such an unnatural position with his bass on such a long strap. It's almost enough to make you believe in some sort of bass-guitar-related karma, were it not for the fact that Paul Simonon does not seem to have died in an undignified accident involving a spade and his twatty face.

I'd forgotten how much I liked you.

I nearly thumped a "fan" last week.
Well, a friend of the band. He was quite complementary about my bass playing, which was nice, right up until the point that he said,
"You know who you want to try and copy a bit more? Paul Simonon. He was awesome."
WHAT DO PEOPLE SEE IN THIS TWAT? ALL HE DID WAS STRUT AROUND THE STAGE PLAYING SOME SORT OF LOW NOTE UNDER JOE STRUMMER'S SHIT EXCUSES FOR SONGS. HE COULD BARELY PLAY THE FUCKING INSTRUMENT. WHY IS HE IDOLISED IN THIS WAY?

This was just before one of their other friends let on that she liked the Dandy Cunting Warhols. Oddly enough, the same day that we'd discussed "Dig!" I barely have a tongue left from all the biting.

Bravo.

I really like Love Will Tear Us Apart.
The lyrics really speak to me is that so wrong?
(PsychoChomp, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 14:21, Reply)

I'm afraid so.


Soz.

You tube them.
"Transmission" is a particularly grim place to start,

The good thing about English music
is that, because I don't understand the lyrics straight away, I use to assume that the tune is happy, without thinking of it. Almost every single English son sounds happy to me.

Joy Division won't
I guarantee it. It's amazing that only one of them topped themselves (thus far - still got my fingers crossed on Hook)

I've offered to assist him loads of times.
Tickets to Switzerland, everything - but will he? Will he bollocks.

Keep fighting the good fight, Monty
See if you can get Rick Wakeman, Phil Collins and the Gallaghers interested in a group rate trip.

Rick Wakeman's alright - as long as you keep him away from the keyboards.
He's a hilarious raconteur.

I'll have to take your word for that
Something about him rubs me up the wrong way. Take Paul Rodgers then

Oh cunt for sure. Although Free's first two LPs are fucking brilliant.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 15:08, Reply)

Faith No More's 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th LPs are fucking brilliant
(I will concede that the last two are my opinion, rather than general consensus).

But Bill Gould is still a cunt.
