Miracle Cure: Bernard Sumner collaborates with Blank & Jones

Noting that when the time comes the discreet and legendary German electro-wizards blank+jones release a new single organised in collaboration with Manchester post-punk visionary Bernard Sumner. The collaboration between blank+jones and Bernard Sumner, of Joy Division, New Order and Electronic, is called Miracle Cure, and it is the first song to be taken from this years very special blank+jones album of beats, treats and collaborations, “The Logic of Pleasure”. Bernard Sumner is high on the list, if not the highest, of those musicians, writers and singers that have influenced blank+jones fascination with mood, intoxication, romance and rhythm. The combination of the sure, vibrant blank+jones and the enigmatic, iconic and tender voiced Bernard Sumner is naturally a dream, as Sumner’s fragile yet bouyant melancholia slips beautifully into, and out of, blank and jones’ very own electronic sense of the epic. The collaboration is the sensational result of electronic communication involving email and MP3 set up during 2007. Sumner wrote and sung his part after completing work with New Order on the soundtrack for Anton Corbijn’s award winning film about Joy Division, Control. Miracle Cure will appear as the song it is and also as a brilliantly arranged series of energising/lounging uptown, down town and across town mixes from the blank+jones studio, and also from Manchester born Berlin based hypno-trance pioneer Mark Reeder, the currently on fire electro-obsessive Canadian Glenn Morrison, the prolific trancefrenzied German master Martin Roth, the Anglo-German electro-adventurers Onetwo and Scandinavian chilltronica club kings Lulu Rouge. It says something about the reputation and ability of blank+jones that the discriminating Sumner, a genius of melody, wished to work with blank+jones, and that the collaboration has produced a song that can live with the best of Sumner’s ingenious, smart and infectious pop songs. More news soon about the ninth blank+jones album “The Logic of Pleasure” and the record’s various enterprising collaborations, including Miracle Cure with Bernard Sumner. Artwork, all text and bio written/designed by Paul Morley. The world premiere of the song will be with Pete Tong on BBC Radio One's WMC miami special on March 28th. Release dates for Miracle Cure Single: May 30 - Worldwide June 2 - UK Release dates for The Logic of Pleasure: June 9 - UK June 6 - Worldwide www.blankandjones.com www.myspace.com/blankandjonesinfo

Pumpkins Add Dates, Corgan Sings for Hook's Freebass

Wherefore art thou, Billy Corgan? It's been some six weeks since you and your Smashing Pumpkins last graced our news pages, but here you are again, with plentiful items of interest for your devotees. First there is the matter of Freebass, the Peter Hook/Andy Rourke/Mani all-bass supergroup. Freebass, as you know, have been recording with a number of different vocalists, including ex-Stone Rose Ian Brown and the Charlatans' Tim Burgess. A BBC 6 Music report yesterday quotes Hook as saying, "We persuaded Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins ." Mr. Corgan will, presumably, assist in the vocal capacity, as will Haven frontman Gary Briggs, UK singer Rowetta, and celebrity dope-dealer Howard Marks ("doing a rap," according to Hook). Oh boy!

Director of Joy Division biopic ‘Control’ - Anton Corbijn - meet fans at HMV Oxford Street.

WHAT: Signing session WHERE: HMV London, 150 Oxford Street W1 WHEN: Monday 11th February at 6.00 pm Director of 2007’s biopic ‘Control’ - Anton Corbijn – celebrates the release of the film on DVD and the book, ‘In Control’, with a signing session at HMV’s flagship store on Oxford Street in London’s West End on Monday 11th February. Anton will be at the store from 6.00 pm to meet fans and sign copies of the DVD and the book which are released the same day. 'Control', which has been nominated for three BAFTA Awards - including ‘Best British Film’- details the life of the troubled young musician, Ian Curtis, who forged a new kind of music out of the punk rock scene of 1970s Britain, and the band Joy Division, which he headed from 1977 to 1980. It also deals with his rocky marriage and extramarital affairs, as well as his increasingly frequent seizures, which were thought to contribute to the circumstances leading to his suicide on the eve of Joy Division's first U.S. tour.

Joy Division: Piece by Piece: Writing About Joy Division 1977-2007

Joy Division are the perennial cult post-punk band. Four young men with weight on their shoulders, the drama and tension of their music remains unsurpassed. Paul Morley was their contemporary and Northern English compatriot, who wrote extensively and evocatively of the ‘mood, atmosphere and ephemeral terror’ that enveloped this unique group and their doomed front man,vocalist Ian Curtis. These are his complete writings on Joy Division, both contemporary and retrospective, forming a close personal account of the band’s brief, turbulent history: from primitive beginnings as Manchester punk band Warsaw, to Curtis’ near-fatal epileptic seizure following a London concert, and his tragic suicide in May 1980. As Morley says, ‘The more that time moves on, the more I have to say about them.’ In addition to collecting all of the author’s journalistic writings on the band from the late 1970s/early 1980s, this unique work includes retrospective essays on the significance of the group, the post-punk era zeitgeist and the ‘psycho-geography’ of Manchester. Contemporary elements include Morley’s articles on the background to Anton Corbijn’s acclaimed film, Control, recounting the brief life of Ian Curtis. Movingly, Morley also includes the original text that grew into his literary work Nothing, paralleling the two suicides that marked his life: those of his own father, and his young contemporary Curtis. Paul Morley is the UK’s foremost pop-cultural commentator. At New Musical Express from 1977 to 1983 he pioneered post-modernist rock journalism. He staked his claim to the 1980s as co-founder of ZTT Records and The Art of Noise, and has since become familiar to TV viewers via The Late Show, his documentary series Without Walls: The Thing Is, Richard and Judy and Newsnight Review. He has also made two albums with James Banbury as Infantjoy. His other books are Ask, a collection of his NME writing, the highly acclaimed Nothing, a meditation on the death of his father, and Words and Music: A History of Pop in the Shape of a City, a polemic extending ‘from Stockhausen to Steps’. He writes about music for the Sunday Telegraph and is critic at large for the Observer Music Monthly. Buy this book on: Amazon UK Amazon USA Amazon Canada

The book also examines the legacy of the group, and the development of their reputation and influence in the three decades since their short, turbulent life. Paul Morley wrote extensively and evocatively of the `mood, atmosphere and ephemeral terror' that enveloped this unique group and their doomed front man, vocalist Ian Curtis.

Out of "Control" come five indie nods

Anton Corbijn's "Control" was the big winner at Wednesday night's British Independent Film Awards, walking off with best movie, director and a pair of actor awards. Corbijn's black-and-white film, based on the short life of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis, scooped a total of five awards, including the evening's big two: best British independent film and best director. Corbijn's biopic exorcised the threat of "Eastern Promises," "And When Did You Last See Your Father," "Hallam Foe" and "Notes on a Scandal" to secure the evening's best picture nod.

Hook: New Order Archival Projects On Hold

With Joy Division successfully memorialized on CD and the big screen, bassist Peter Hook would like to see the same done for its successor, New Order. But, he says, there are issues. "Since New Order has split up, we ... aren't really friends yet," says Hook. Therefore, plans for a New Order box set and expanded reissues -- similar to Rhino's recent treatment of Joy Division's three initial Factory releases -- are on hold. "Because of our relationship," Hook notes, "we're struggling to find a way of moving it forward. Everybody is busy doing their next project." Hook says there's a wealth of rarities to populate any New Order sets -- particularly a large passel of live recordings that includes the fledgling group's very first concert in 1980. Also around is a selection of songs left over from sessions for New Order's final album, 2005's "Waiting for the Sirens' Call." "We had seven or eight tracks left over," Hook recalls. "Our idea was to bring them out very quickly after 'Sirens," but because we fell out and weren't enjoying working together, that idea was just pushed further and further back. Those tracks are still there, still unfinished. And they're as good as 'Sirens,' funnily enough." Hook says Bernard Sumner is particularly resistant to moving forward on any archival projects. "Bernard sort of dislikes the past; he's quite open about that. And he dislikes our live past even more," Hook explains. "It's quite sad, really. As I've gotten older, I think there's a lot more value to your history being judged." Hook isn't just living in the past, however. He's moving forward with Freebass, his bass guitar-celebrating group with Smiths alumnus Andy Rourke and Stone Roses/Primal Scream vet Gary "Mani" Mounfield. The group has recently cut tracks with the Charlatans' Tim Burgess and rapper Howard Marx and is putting together a schedule for 2008 summer European festivals. "It's really coming on and we're very, very pleased," Hook says. "As nice as looking back is, musicians of my ilk are really interested in looking forward. I feel very positive about Freebass right now."

Peter Hook, Mani, Andy Rourke to tour this summer?

In an interview about the lack of progress on a proposed slate of New Order reissues, Peter Hook has hinted that his supergroup Freebass will be touring this summer As previously reported, the group is made up of Hook, the Stone Roses/Primal Scream legend Mani, and Smiths' vet Andy Rourke. If that sounds a little bass-heavy, rest assured that collaborators will be adding plenty of top end: in addition to previously-rumored sessions with Liam Gallagher and Tim Burgess, the band is also working with Ian Brown and Howard Marx. A schedule for the 2008 European summer festivals is being drawn up, according to Billboard. "It's really coming on and we're very, very pleased," Hook is quoted as saying of the group. "I feel very positive about Freebass right now." Specific dates for Freebass have yet to be determined.

Sam Riley among Variety's Oscars tips

He was working in a warehouse in Leeds folding shirts when he was cast to star in a film about the life, loves and brief musical reign of Joy Division's ill-fated frontman, Ian Curtis. Today Sam Riley found himself being tipped for Oscars glory alongside 30 international stars of the screen singled out by the industry bible, Variety, whose predictions are regarded as a barometer of the film world. With the Golden Globes nominations to be announced next month, before the Baftas in January, the film world is already gripped by awards fever, before the ultimate prize awarded by the American Academy. In his first role as a leading man, Riley found widespread acclaim this year at the Cannes Film Festival, with the premiere of Control, in which he portrayed the post-punk icon who committed suicide 27 years ago at the age of 23.

Viva Radio presents Complete Control Radio, an online radio series exploring the life and times of Ian Curtis and Joy Division

Apologies to all the misanthropic synth-punks out there, but we at Viva Radio believe there is no substitute for the rhythmic and emotional charge of Joy Division. In fact, the simultaneous theatrical release of Control, Anton Corbijn’s darkly affecting film study of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, and reissue of the band’s three albums on Rhino Records nearly gave us our total sonic fix. Yet our quest for unknown pleasures got the best of us, and we are now proud to announce the Joy Division-inspired Complete Control Radio. Starting Tues. October 23rd and continuing through the 30th, with extensive research and help from contributor and institutional pillar Dan Selzer, Viva excavates the post-punk vaults for classic and rare Joy Division / New Order / Factory Records material and brings exclusive interviews with band members and affiliates to the online arena. http://www.viva-radio.com/control
