More JD Capitalization

This, from the BBC:

The life of late Joy Division singer Ian Curtis is to be made into a film, it has been announced.

The Manchester-based production is called Touching From A Distance, after a book by Curtis's widow Deborah which forms the basis for the film.

Music mogul Tony Wilson, who headed the record company Joy Division were signed to, will be co-executive producer.


I expect shit, but there's always a chance that the exploitative nature of this whole gig could churn out something impressive, like the Heart & Soul set from a couple of years ago. I have my doubts.

Also, the "Ghost | Glasgow" show that was listed on the sidebar for tomorrow night has been taken off, because I was misled. My impression was that the "Ghost" that was playing was the Japanese psych-rock band - which was why I was confused as to the lack of discussion about it. However, it turns out that it's simply local rap-rock. Totally glad I found that out.
