Shadowplay

Posted by NeverHundred - June 29th, 2011


This is Shadowplay, off it's original release Joy Divisions Unknown Pleasures.

They're a post punk band from the late seventies early eighties. I find the terrible sound quality to be a delight, and obviously as you can tell by my own music's terrible sound quality this band must be a huge influence on my own music. Neverhundred and Joy Division are practically the same band.

This is the cover that Franz Ferdinand created as a tribute to Joy Division.

Okay now, wait wait, I was wrong this is not Franz Ferdinand, it's The Killers, trying to sound like Franz Ferdinand creating a cover of Joy Divisions classic. For all those people who might think this is an improvement on the original, you completely missed the point of Joy Division, it wasn't the sound quality, not the musicianship, it wasn't even the music or lyrical composition. Joy Division was the Nirvana of their day, in fact Ian Curtis did nearly everything that Kurt Cobain did while Cobain was just realizing his balls had dropped. If Ian Curtis had waited 'til after the U.S. tour to commit suicide, he may have been as notorious as Cobain is today.

It's about the feeling, about conveying that desperate frustration and disillusionment with what society has become, what it was becoming back then. And The Killers failed to capture it in their cover, failed to realize that the grimy production and off key singing was a crucial element of the song.

You know.
There was once a man
and he enjoyed the company of
others so much that
one day when he was walking
down the sidewalk
he caught the image of
a shiny quarter on
the ground
then he was like
yes
then of course
he went to pick it up
and place it in his wallet
BUT he did not see
Abnormal Psychological
or Psychiatric Foundations
The 1st presumption before
entering this arena is to
recognize it to be
devoid of any moral
reasoning or justification
This is exemplified that
for example the word
righteousness does not
enter into the equation
So what areas could be reflect this behavior
once for all there
