ADM*, the apocalypse is near. Thurston Moore with those dudes from Gossip Girl. I love the show, and I love Sonic Youth, but I don’t think they should be in the same place at the same time.

I’ve been terrible at tumblr lately, and am even worse at catching up with emails. I blame my new job.
However, this Saturday I am happy to invite you to Backdoor at 9:30 Club’s BackBar. It starts at 11pm, 815 V St. NW WDC. Recession-friendly $5 cover. I was asked to guest dj by the lovely DJ Bent, and am pumped about playing at such a big venue!! Come out and say hi to some of your favorite CPR DJs!
Now I’m off to the Bhangra party at Bossa!!

"I would not be me if I did! It blows my mind that Unknown Pleasures came out in the same decade as many Led Zeppelin records. To me, Joy Division comes from outer space, or at least the deep space of industrialization, alienation, ennui and angst that seemed more at home in the great Goth-pop awakening of the early 80s that it prefigured to some extent. Compared to the Dionysian excesses of the actual decade it came out in, Unknown Pleasures is sleek, austere and supremely elegant in execution despite its punk roots, thanks in no large part to producer Martin Hannett, a Falstaffian figure whose personal excesses were burnt-out hippie — but whose ear was nearly retro-futuristic. Honestly, as time wears on, I care less and less about the mythos built up around Ian Curtis, which is heretical, I know — call it the first step in Project Kill Yr Idols, I suppose. But what remains is the great love and affection I feel for songs like “She’s Lost Control” and “Shadowplay” and “Disorder,” which still sound like outer planets barely tethered to one another by an incredibly lonely sense of connection and gravity. (Kat)"- nogoodforme. I like retro-futurism a lot, btw.
