NEW ORDER (THE BAND)

sorry ian, but we’re making bops now! just kidding. from the devastation of ian curtis’ suicide in 1980 rose new order, a band that needs no introduction. everyone in the world knows ”blue monday,” the most lucrative 12“ of all time. however, if you move through new order’s discography, you see the (obvious) influence of joy division— most joy divison/new order fans know ceremony was originally a joy divison song (and there’s allegedly a few lost recordings of ian singing it). however, i think if you listen to ”closer,” joy division’s second and last album released after ian curtis’ death, you see the natural progression OF joy divison. “isolation,” the second closer track, has the synth makings of something from new order’s early days. one of my favorite new order songs, “every little counts,” has the simplicity, eccentric/sometimes macabre lyricism, and instrumental makings of a joy division song. (i’ve also mentioned before that the ending orchestral flourish is very reminiscent of ”atmosphere,” one of my most beloved joy division tracks.) the influence they’ve had, the honor they’ve brought to ian, and the path the band has moved through is something that makes us acolytes of joy division-new order smile with happiness. tl;dr: listen to “krafty” by new order (from 2005’s ”waiting for the siren’s call”) and try to feel a negative emotion

saving worms

when there are worms wriggling on the sidewalk, pick them up and gently place them back in the dirt where they belong. otherwise they may dry up or get stepped on. those poor wiggly guys don't stand a chance and they need YOU. you can even keep a tally of worms saved and be a superhero to the worm kingdom.
