she's lost control

NME reports, and very heavily out in the blogosphere already, is news that there's a new Ian Curtis bio scheduled to be directed by Anton Corbijn, which is exciting as Corbijn's weird fetishist parade memorial video of him always seemed to fit the myth best of all. Sadly, the story will be based on Deborah Curtis' disturbing and poorly written 'Touching From A Distance," which deals mainly with their young, fucked up relationship and left me feeling ill-informed but still angry for its narrow perspective. And, of course, Mr. Tony Wilson will be involved...(the F4 website, on brief glance, is sad in its heritage harassment - you know our politics, now buy our stuff!)

I very much enjoy your writing. In particular, the Books and the TRS-80 reviews on AMG, and the Dance, Dance...Revolution? article. I'm currently reviewing the new books album and the new prefuse 73, which I imagine you've already heard. What are you listening to now? Blogging is fun, but can sometimes be scary. Let's hope this is not an occasion for the latter. Please email me some time, as I always love to talk music.
