Because he donated millions to charity, lobbied to save Africa from AIDS, and was one hell of a nice guy.

Just because we'd been wondering when to do AVALANCHE again, and it turned out that in late May the Community CD (New Order tribute/covers album) would be released then - and then of course that all coincided with Ian Curtis' death in May.
Cheers

You're pretty fortunate that half the board is on planes heading out west for Coachella otherwise the flaming would be relentless.

A tremendous amount of restraint by the lad from Manchester is duly noted.

Allow me…
You dumb-ass motherfucker, nearly 3/4s of the bands people talk about on this board claim to be influenced by Joy Division! And you don't know who they even are? What are you going to the HFStival or something? Wait, even they have The Cure, perhaps THE band with biggest debt to Joy Division. WTF!!!
I don't really feel that way, just imitating a cross between GGW and markie. Though, c'mon man, how could you not know that?

I know who Joy Division are i just dont know every single band member from every single group. And i try to ignore most of the groups that people traveling to see Coachella like cause everytime i buy a cd that they suggest, it usually sucks. But hey, thanx for not bashing me to much and if those terds wanna bash me when they get back, i'm all for it. And i promise i won't bash them in person when i do finally meet them one day. ;)
