I'll be absent for a week or so, so this is an early submission to music monday for next week.
heart and soul by Joy Division
Existence well what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can.
The past is now part of my future,
The present is well out of hand.
Heart and soul, one will burn.
... note that this image has been inspired by the art work on the Joy Division album, "Closer"
First in line on a wave of new experiments:
Test spray of a single layer stencil with freehand spitting and minimal hand finishing.

"Confusion in her eyes that says it all... SHE'S LOST CONTROL..."
Kewpie's snoozy time ;)
Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.
Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.
People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away, in silence,
Don't walk away.
Love will tear us apart - Joy Division
Nel Cimitero di Staglieno, a Genova, mi ha molto colpito la verosimiglianza e naturalezza di questo angelo disteso sull'arca della tomba della famiglia Ribaudo. Il monumento, di concezione simbolista, si trova nel porticato semicircolare del cimitero, e fu edificato nel 1910, su progetto di Onorato Toso, autore, tra l’altro, del pulpito del Santuario di Nostra Signora della Misericordia di Savona.
Ma questo angelo disteso sulla tomba Ribaudo mi ha ulteriormente impressionato per i fatti successi circa 70 anni dopo la sua realizzazione. Nel 1980 infatti questa immagine fu utilizzata per illustrare la copertina di un celebre disco, il singolo “Love Will Tear Us Apart” della band post-punk britannica Joy Division. Pochi mesi dopo la pubblicazione del disco il leader dei Joy Division, Ian Curtis, si suicidò.
Gli ultimi versi della canzone (il cui titolo è anche l’epitaffio inciso sulla tomba di Ian Curtis), sembrano recitati dall’ inconsolabile angelo: «Piangi nel sonno / tutti i miei fallimenti esibiti […] / mentre la disperazione mi consuma…».

Another frame from that expired roll of HP5+ (exp: Feb 2014). If I had used Tri-X as I usually do, I wouldn't have gotten this funky and murky look, that reminds me of Anton Corbijn.

"This is a crisis I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept
Doubting, unsettling and turning around
Wondering what will come next
Is this the role that you wanted to live?
I was foolish to ask for so much
Without the protection and infancy's guard
It all falls apart at first touch
Watching the reel as it comes to a close
Brutally taking its time
People who change for no reason at all
It's happening all of the time
Can I go on with this train of events?
Disturbing and purging my mind
Back out of my duties, when all's said
and done
I know that I'll lose every time
Moving along in our God given ways
Safety is sat by the fire
Sanctuary from these feverish smiles
Left with a mark on the door
Is this the gift that I wanted to give?
Forgive and forget's what they teach
Or pass through the desserts and wastelands once more
And watch as they drop by the beach
This is the crisis I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept
Turning around to the next set of lives
Wondering what will come next. "

Oh Ill break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, its got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever, forever,
Watching love grow, forever,
Letting me know, forever.
[explored]
When the routine bites hard and ambitions are low,
& the resentment rides high, but emotions won't grow,
& we're changing our ways, taking different roads,
Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Joy Division <3
I can't express how much I love this song...
It makes me feel sad and strong.. It cradle me..
I can't expresse it...
Good night..

By way of a personal history project, a scan of the back pages of my adolescent diary, where I wrote down, how did I put it, "All the groups I've every seen." Apologies for my, um, iconoclastic spelling.
The first concert (or gig, as I might have said) was at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park, on Dec 17, 1977 (Yachts Blast Furnace and the Heatwaves The Boomtown Rats (I saw the Boomtown Rats the following year too. Too embarassed to write it down?). Lots of pogoing, not much gobbing, but the Boomtown Rats didn't really inspire that sort of thing. There were real punks in the audience, but the Boomtown Rats had appeared on Top of the Pops, and there were Rats' fans too - girls wearing school uniforms (after their hit "Mary of the Fourth Form") and boys wearing pajamas ('cause Johnny Fingers their keyboard player wore pajamas).

Sometime in 1980 or early 1981 I stopped writing down the bands I went to see. Probably because it started to seem a bit trainspotterish, or I'd started having beers at concerts and couldn't be bothered to write things up when I came home, or I misplaced this notebook. So there's no record of seeing U2 two or three times (serious chaps with mullets), or the Birthday Party (who out of all these bands, and the competition is fierce, probably were the most extraordinary act live). I saw most of these bands in London, a few in Boston.
Note on the links: I've linked to All Music a lot, hope that works. If not I'll go through at some point and find better links. Only Joy Division and Mission of Burma seem to have fans obsessive enough to list every performance of those bands. I'm not surprised, I've met some of those fans. There are a number of bands I saw which seem to have left no trace, (and I don't remember a thing about them). If any of these names are familiar to you (in the context of the late 70's), let me know.
