How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City
Journal of Popular Music Studies, Volume 25, Issue 1, Pages 56–76 How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City Leonard Nevarez Vassar College Manchester, England, is among the most well-known cities today for the creation and celebration of popular music, thanks in no small part to the group Joy Division. Among the first bands to be associated with a postpunk aesthetic, Joy Division eschewed punk’syouthful rage and unrelenting din for an expansive, anthemic sound distinguished by its dynamic scope, machinic pulses, and by singer Ian Curtis’ssonorous baritone and existential lyrics. As the first significant band to sustain a career in Manchester, thus bypassing the music industry headquartered in London, Joy Division is also recognized as pioneering the DIY tradition that has famously characterized Manchester’s musical economy over the last four decades. The group didn’t achieve this alone; the role of Manchester label Factory Records is well documented, as, increasingly, is the foundation laid by the city’s networks of musicians, scene participants, and cultural institutions (see Crossley; Botta).´ Yet these local facts don’t quite explain the contemporary resonance of Joy Division’s Manchester roots for music fans and city boosters today. Perhaps more than any other Mancunian band, Joy Division are claimed to sound like Manchester, at least the Manchester of a certain era. That is, the group did not just originate from the late 1970s Manchester of deindustrialization, carceral housing estates, Thatcherism, and punk’s youthful refusal; nor do they simply illustrate a recurring Mancunian ethos of creative pluck and insouciant disregard for London’s cultural hegemony (Haslam, Manchester, England). -
Understanding Joy Division Martin J. Power, Aileen Dillane and Eoin
This is the way, Step inside: Understanding Joy Division Martin J. Power, Aileen Dillane and Eoin Devereux Joy Division On the 30th of July 1980, three musicians - Peter Hook, Steven Morris and Bernard Sumner - took to the small stage of The Beach Club at Oozits Bar in Shudehill, Manchester. With what might be best described as ‘gallows humour’, Sumner introduced the band as being the last surviving members of Crawling Chaos (New Order Net 2018).1 Their short set consisted of five songs. It must have been a particularly difficult gig for the musicians to play, as just eleven week’s earlier their close friend and Joy Division band-mate Ian Curtis had committed suicide on the eve of their first tour of the United States. Curtis’s unexpected death marked the premature end of one of the most important and most influential post-punk bands. Joy Division was no more. Strictly speaking, Joy Division existed for only two and a half years. Formed in Salford, over twenty-nine months the band wrote and recorded forty-three songs and played one hundred and twenty gigs (see Joy Division Official 2018). The 1976 punk explosion served as an initial catalyst for Sumner and Hook to form a band - temporarily called Stiff Kittens. This was soon followed by the adoption of the name Warsaw, inspired by David Bowie’s ‘Warszawa’ and further changes in membership. The final line up of Curtis (vocals); Hook (bass); Sumner (guitar, keys) and Morris (drums) performed and recorded as Warsaw in the second half of 1977. However, the existence of a punk band called Warsaw Pakt convinced them to change their name to avoid any confusion and in January 1978 they played their first ever gig under the name Joy Division. -
El Anhelo De Lo Prohibido. Ian Curtis Y Joy Division: Las Dos Caras De Una Misma Moneda
313 El anhelo de lo prohibido. Ian Curtis y Joy Division: las dos caras de una misma moneda. La transición del post-punk al gothic rock. Desde The Sex Pistols hasta Siouxsie & The Banshees Elsa Calero Carramolino Historia y Ciencias de la Música Resumen Después de la II Guerra Mundial el mundo estaba extremadamente preocupado por las cosas horribles que el ser humano era capaz de hacer. Europa se dividió en dos partes, la de las víctimas y la de los asesinos, los perdedores de la guerra y los que fueron llamados los ganadores. La guerra no dejó ganar nada a nadie, después de la lucha hubo diferentes tipos de perdedores. En los años nació 50 una nueva generación de músicos. Su infancia y adolescencia estuvo llena de se- ñales y referencias a la guerra y el nazismo alemán. El objeto de este artículo es establecer la relación entre la música punk y el rock gótico y cómo el primero, es decir el punk evoluciona hasta transformarse en el gothic rock. La provocación inicial del punk y el post-punk trató de empujar a la sociedad monárquica, aparentemente feliz y conducir a la gente hacia un movimiento reivindicativo y violento. Esto cambió después del primer intento de suicidio de Ian Curtis (cantante de Joy Division). La mente de Ian Curtis y su música cambiaron desde la queja violenta contra el mundo y la política, desde la búsqueda de la verdad externa hasta la búsqueda de la verdad interna como una expresión de incomprensión. Cuando murió, la prensa transformó su personalidad en un mito a seguir, por lo que una nueva ola de música y músicos como Siouxsie & The Banshees fue inspirado por la ima- gen de Ian Curtis. -

Don Dombowsky IAN CURTIS and the GERMAN AUTUMN1
Don Dombowsky IAN CURTIS AND THE GERMAN AUTUMN1 he lyrics of Ian Curtis have typically been interpreted in two ways: either as a somber illustration of his psychological struggles (including his struggle with epilepsy) emphasizing his personal, ‘inner world’ T 2 and recognizing ‘his words as a literal cry for help’; or as a social and political refl ection of Manchester’s desolate, post-industrial spaces and of the economic and political transformations attending the emergence of the Thatcher era and its ‘authoritarian populism’,3 capturing the frustration and despair of the British working class and their ‘winter of discontent’. This concluding perspective is expressed in a most evocative way by Jon Savage who wrote in a Melody Maker review of Unknown Pleasures in 1979— explaining both Joy Division’s sonic idiom and the sensibility infusing the lyrics of Ian Curtis— that Joy Division’s spatial, circular themes’ [were a] ‘perfect refl ection of Manchester’s dark spaces and empty places: endless sodium lights... vacant industrial sites— the endless detritus of the 19th century... [communicating] the reactions of individuals caught in a trap they dimly perceive— anger, paranoia, alienation, feelings of thwarted power... [and] control everywhere. 4 And by Chris Ott as well, by the time of his writing expressing the by then standard view that as personal and emotional as Curtis’s lyrics were, the sense of despair and frustration that they conveyed had broad implications in the England of the late 1970s, where hopelessness was a very real sensation. The economic downturn resulted in labor strikes ranging from garbage workers to nurses to gravediggers.5 1 This essay appeared in the form of a didactic poem in: Epizootics!

VOOR Er bestaan in mijn optiek maar twee stromingen binnen de muziek, te weten goede en slechte. De goede is doorgaans authentiek en de gevoelens die Ian Curtis, frontman van Joy Division, bezong leken mij als tiener in de jaren 80 oprecht, hij had er niet voor niets een einde aan gemaakt. De muziek hoorde bij de stroming New Wave, waar ik actief onderdeel van werd . Generatie Nix, de naam die mijn generatie meekreeg, zou toch geen werk vinden en de atoomoorlog zou spoedig beginnen. I wear black on the outside because black is how I feel on the inside zei Morrisey en daar kan ik me tot op de dag van vandaag in vinden... In dit referaat ga ik op zoek naar mijn muzikale en sociale roots en naar de achtergronden van het verhaal van een bijzondere en alternatieve onderneming. New Wave, de stroming voor de subcultuur der alternatieven waarvan Ian Curtis pionier was, vond zijn oorsprong halverwege de jaren 70 in de tegendraadse Punk. -
Making Rock History out of Ian Curtis and Joy Division
Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 9, No. 4, November 2013 When Performance Lost Control: Making Rock History out of Ian Curtis and Joy Division J. Rubén Valdés Miyares 1. “Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now”1 This is a case study of the continuities between living, performing and writing. When Ian Curtis hanged himself at the age of 23, tortured by epilepsy, medication, fear and remorse; having just started a promising career as singer and songwriter for the band Joy Division, after releasing two intriguing long plays and a hit single called “Love Will Tear Us Apart”, and about to embark on their first American tour, he was stag- ing his ultimate performance. The act turned him into a cult figure, as it gave an eerie resonance to the increasingly gloomy lyrics he had written for his band. Music journalists began to write about Joy Division in a more vivid, dramatic way. People who had never seen the band perform live, or even heard of them while Curtis was alive, became fans. Joy Division was hailed in their native Manchester, England, as youthful symbols of the postmodern city, and in the rest of the world as founders of the gothic rock scene. They were subsequently the subject of biographies, biopics and documentaries which focused particularly on Curtis’s personality, and the main webpage devoted to the band (joydivisioncentral.com) lists about twenty Joy Division tribute bands performing their songs, while Youtube enables fans and critics to watch the band perform at several gigs on very low quality footage, and much more visually appealing clips of actor Sam Riley performing as Ian Curtis in the biopic about him, Control (2007). -
Black Metal and Satanism
chapter 12 Satan the Musician: Black Metal and Satanism The Gothic Milieu The Gothic milieu, occasionally called the Dark Wave, as a sub-milieu of the 1970s’ New Wave, was largely created by rock music, although fiction, comics, movies, and role-playing games also had a relevant influence. Although the term “Gothic” was created by outsiders, it was quickly accepted by the move- ment. Gothic music should not be confused with Heavy Metal. Metal played on the power of extreme human emotions and feelings. Gothic concentrated on human reactions to particular emotions associated with death, corpses, blood, the macabre, and vampires. The Devil was often mentioned but he was not always a key player in the Gothic scene. Besides, Satan was mentioned in many brands of rock music that were not Gothic. Sympathy for the Devil, a 1968 song by the Rolling Stones where the Devil tells his story in the first person as a “man of wealth and taste” is just one among many examples. Music critic Peter Bebergal argued that occult and Satanic themes in fact revitalized rock music in the late 1960s and early 1970s, offering the Rolling Stones as an example.1 The reverse is also true: music, and other forms of popular culture, somewhat revitalized Satanism.2 The origins of Gothic came from many different sources. Gothic themes emerged in the late 1960s in England and the United States with artists and groups like Alice Cooper (pseud. of Vincent Damon Furnier), Coven, and Black Widow. Almost simultaneously, the most ancient significant references to Satan were introduced to rock music by Coven, an American psychedelic rock band founded in Chicago in 1967, which explicitly sought the patronage of the Church of Satan,3 and Black Widow, a British group in the progressive rock cur- rent that debuted in Leicester in 1970 as the new version of a band active from 1 Peter Bebergal, Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll, New York: Jeremy P. -

Conférence-concert “PORTRAIT MUSICAL D’UNE VILLE : MANCHESTER” Conférence de Vincent Arquillière & Pascal Bussy Concert de Naked (On Drugs) Remontant au swing des années trente et aux chansons engagées de l’après- guerre qui cimentent un certain folk, Manchester est un foyer majeur des cultures rock, soul et électro. Le phénomène culmine dans les années quatre- vingt à travers de nombreux groupes (des Smiths à New Order) et une approche qui passe par une indépendance innovante et débridée. En mettant ces mouvements en perspective avec les origines industrielles de la ville, cette conférence montre que les musiques de Manchester sont bien plus qu’une bande son ; toujours vivantes aujourd’hui, elles sont une composante Afin de compléter la lecture de ce essentielle de son histoire. dossier, n'hésitez pas à consulter les dossiers d’accompagnement des précédentes conférences- concerts, les “Bases de données” consacrées aux éditions 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 et 2013 ainsi que L’Explorateur Trans 2014, tous en téléchargement gratuit sur www.jeudelouie.com “Une source d’informations qui fixe les connaissances et doit permettre au lecteur mélomane de reprendre le fil de la recherche s’il le désire” Dossier réalisé en novembre 2014 par Vincent Arquillière & Pascal Bussy (Atelier des Musiques Actuelles). 1 - « Dirty old town » Située à 260 km au nord-ouest de Londres, Manchester est une ville du nord de l’Angleterre. -
Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Singing at Death’s Door: Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Tiffany Naiman 2017 © Copyright by Tiffany Naiman 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Singing at Death’s Door: Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music by Tiffany Naiman Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Robert W. Fink, Co-Chair Professor Raymond L. Knapp, Co-Chair This dissertation investigates musical expressions of temporal alterities in works created by popular music artists, identifying their aesthetic responses as their bodies become ill, disabled, and they become more aware of mortality. I propose a critical, hermeneutic, and theoretical method drawn from Edward Said’s appropriation of Adorno’s expression “late style” that I have designated ill style, a form of creativity within a temporality of illness. Late style is discernable in works produced, paradigmatically, at the end of one’s career in “old age,” but late style may also be understood as an influence on artistic output at any stage of life if the subject is experiencing untimeliness and a disruption in access to the communal understanding of futurity and time, a possible consequence of factors other than age. I contend that late style, accelerated by illness, disrupts Western cultural attempts at ignoring precarious and finite nature of existence; the resulting expressions of lateness ask audiences to do the same. I offer a way in which to think more critically about what scholars consider late style, how it functions in popular ii music studies and society, and how it intersects with the fields of disability, gender, queer, and critical race studies, and the social sciences. -
