Joy Division Documentary
Pitchfork has the exclusive on director Grant Gee's documentary on Joy Division.
The film covers it all, going all the way back to the band's "origins" (as if superheroes) and examines their influence on, and the birth of the UK's post-punk scene.
Don't sleep on this though, I don't think it's going to be up for long. What you see above is Part 1. Stay tuned to the Pitchfork link for Part 2.
Oh . . .and while we're here . . .I can't resist.

The Wombats - Is This Christmas
I really dig The Wombats. Their last album was great, but unfortunately for them, it was released a few months too late for them to ride the wave of British Invasion 3.0. A shame, really. They stuck their heads out at the exact moment when the whole planet suddenly decided that they were done with the post-Strokes era of guitar heavy "garage" rock. Oh well...some of us are still fighting the good fight. Carry on, gentlemen.
