The Pop Cop (Free subscription) | yesterday
Andy Murray will go down in Scottish sporting history as a legend but he really needs to work on his off-court personality. He's so fucking miserable we'd assume he psyches himself up in the morning by listening to Joy Division on a loop, so when The Pop Cop found out Murray was about to unleash his first foray into the music world we didn't expect it to be THE WORST RAP EVER . Here for your displeasure...

absolute body control - "is there an exit?" (download) I actually just stumbled on these guys recently. Absolute Body Control was the first significant project of Dirk Ivens and Eric Van Wonterghem, who later went on to be a part of bands like D.A.F. , Dive , Klinik and Sonar . They were mainly active from 1979-1984, but have since re-formed (in 2006) and re-recorded a lot of their classics...

With collaborators as talented as Rob Gretton, Martin Hannett and Mike Pickering, Factory Records launched such famous bands as Joy Division, New Order, The Durutti Column [...]

Mick Middles - Factory: The Story Of The Record Label Factory Records are, to those who don't know, the brainchild and record label of Tony Wilson, the man who was behind the Hacienda in Manchester which was the forefront of the introduction of house music and rave culture to Britain, and the "Madchester" phenomenon of the 80s and early 90s. This era was just before my time so naturally I'm...

OK--students in my cultural studies course had a bit of a crisis because half of their presentation group dropped out. They are doing a presentation on the Goth subculture and the two members that dropped out were covering the music. So I offered to help out with an introduction to the roots of the Goth sound (as a non-expert)... here is what I came up with, anyone want to suggest additions? 1970s:...

Playing live - sending out emails ... "Forget nostalgia, The Yardbirds have stayed true to their ethic of live experimentation and vicious energy. The Yardbirds paved the way for the Electric Prunes, Doors, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Joy Division, Sonic Youth, and Public Enemy. And they still know how to have a rave-up.” Joy Division and Public Enemy? Who knew?

I've been thinking of this for a while now, but how amazing would it be if Rockstar made another GTA game in the UK? Think about. It could be set in the 1980's, in some kind of industrial town up north. The story of corruption, deprivation and borderline poverty could all be there along with an overall feeling of depression and the assurance of 110% more Thatcher! The soundtrack would be incredible...

Audion, Pezzner, James Grindle, Travis Baron (Triple Door) Matthew Dear is best known for his morose, song-oriented tech-house output. But as Audion, Dear produces techno that's jacked up on amyl nitrite and Viagra (sample track titles: "Titty Fuck," "Just Fucking") and imbued with the springiness of Olympic high jumpers' quadriceps. For this tour (dubbed "Hecatomb"),...

When I first heard The Editors, I thought surely Ian Curtis had returned to the living. Singer Tom Smith's voice is eerily reminiscent of the late Joy Division singer and the band's sound is quite unique to anything you hear today, which of course, means I love it! Their latest CD is called In This Light and On This Evening and it's first single is "Papillon". The Stereophonics have released...
