The Arrogants

My girlfriend broke up with me the day before Valentine's Day so I found this picture rather fitting...



I'm still getting that tattooed across my chest. Anywho, if your feeling as shitty as I'm feeling, download this track by the arrogants:

The Arrogants - Love sick

If you want to hear more from The Arrogants, go over to Six Eyes. He's got a shitload more you can download.

Hail Ian Curtis

I must admit that I completly stole this post from One Louder, but i've never been so excited about music news in a very long time:

"It's been known for awhile now that Anton Corbijn, famed photographer and music director will direct Control, the film based on Deborah Curtis' (Ian's widow) book Touching From A Distance. Today more casting details were revealed and the news is good. Jude Law will not play Ian Curtis. Instead, Sam Riley will portray the doomed singer. I did some searching for Sam Riley and didn't find much. The beautiful Alexandra Maria Lara, a Romanian-born, German raised actress will portray Curtis' lover Annik Honore. Lara is also a relative newcomer to films. She had a leading role as one of Hitler's secretaries in the excellent The Downfall: Hitler and the End of the Third Reich. Finally, Samantha Morton will play Deborah Curtis.

As reported by NME, New Order, or Joy Division, will record new material for the film's soundtrack. Says Peter Hook: "We were asked to do the soundtrack to the film which I thought was a fucking great idea, for Joy Division to do the music for a Joy Division film because we've never really done a soundtrack before. The soundtrack could include new stuff. Basically Anton wants to use certain songs by Joy Division so that each song becomes a video. Like the way the 'Atmosphere' video was filmed, he wants to write videos that appear in the film."

This will be Corbijn's first film, but given his talent for capturing Curtis and Joy Division's raw beauty and sadness, he seems to be the right choice."

Watch his video for Joy Division's "Atmosphere." It's absolutely beautiful

Thursday, The Fever and Little Yellow Box

Thursday announced today their new album, "A City By The Light Divided" will be released on May 2nd. Here is the press release from Island Records:

THURSDAY TO RELEASE A CITY BY THE LIGHT DIVIDED MAY 2ND, FOLLOW-UP TO TOP 10 WAR ALL THE TIME

PRODUCED BY DAVE FRIDMANN – FIRST SINGLE IS “COUNTING 5-4-3-2-1”
“Thursday Presents The Shirts For A Cure Tour” – With Minus The Bear, The Number 12 Looks Like You , MewithoutYou, and We're All Broken – set to open March 14th; Thursday also tapped for Canada dates on “Taste Of Chaos Tour”

(January 31, 2006 – New York, NY) Island recording group Thursday is completing its second album for the label, A CITY BY THE LIGHT DIVIDED, delivering on the promise of their critically acclaimed top 10 major label debut of 2003, War All the Time. The new album was produced at Tarbox Studios in Fredonia, New York by Dave Fridmann (known for his work with Flaming Lips, Mogwai and Sleater-Kinney) and will be preceded by the release of its first single pick, “Counting 5-4-3-2-1.”

In conjunction with the new album release, the “Thursday presents the Shirts For A Cure Tour” – in which the band will be joined by Minus The Bear, The Number 12 Looks Like You, mewithoutYou and We're All Broken on the tour to benefit the Shirts For A Cure charity (which supports breast cancer research by selling t-Shirts aligned with all sorts of bands) – will open March 14th at The Door in Dallas. After Thursday’s 2-day sidetrip (March 17-18th ) to the South By Southwest (SXSW) conference in Austin, they will rejoin the tour on March 20th (Memphis) through April 1st (Seattle). For further information go to www.shirtsforacure.com

Pre-sale tickets for the “Shirts For A Cure Tour” have already begun to sell out on http://tix.artistarena.com/thursday/, the recommended website for Thursday fans and mypsace.com subscribers.

New Jersey’s own Thursday – lead singer Geoff Rickly, guitarists Steve Pedulla and Tom Keeley, bassist Tim Payne, keyboardist Andrew Everding and drummer Tucker Rule – have built a loyal grassroots following on tour and over the Internet since the release of their album debut in 2000, Waiting (on the indie Eyeball imprint). Constant roadwork in support of their next album for Chicago’s Victory label (Full Collapse in 2001) brought Thursday to Island in 2002. As the band joined the Vans Warped Tour, War All the Time followed in September 2003, peaking at #7 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, on the strength of its top 30 Modern Rock Track and video, “Signals Over the Air.”
