It has been a big year for Joy Division...
- Rhino has re-released all of the band's studio albums on vinyl. They sound great and are available at Pure Pop.

- A couple of JD/Ian Curtis themed films are coming out soon. First, a documentary directed by Grant Gee ("Meeting People is Easy") called simply "Joy Division" and then a Curtis biopic called "Control", directed by the band's former music video director Anton Corbijn. It is based on the book "Touching From a Distance", written by Curtis' wife Deborah.
- There is a fantastic article from 2005 about Joy Division at the wonderful k-punk blog called "Nihil Rebound". You can find it HERE, about halfway down the page. It's pretty long, but well worth the time.

*gasp* The fonts!
I'll tell you, those Rhino remasters sound great. I picked up the vinyl for Unknown Pleasures and Closer yesterday. It was like hearing the albums again for the first time.
