Joy Division apparently hated the sound of Unknown Pleasures

Curtis loved it; Barney is at best circumspect - but all (?!) Joy Division did here was provide the songs, it was Hannett who took them apart & put them together again. All will no doubt revealed as Hooky takes the stage in his Unknown Pleasures show which we've got tickets for at the Lowry on May the first.

I had a dream last night that Hooky hit Number One with his acoustic reworking of Love Will Tear Us Apart on the thirtieth anniversary of Curtis's untimely passing. Still, we're nudging awkwardly into the eighties here...
