The Story Behind: Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures, Ep 183

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Joy Division had their raucous live show energy tamped down by an overzealous producer and still made an all-time classic debut that captured the Manchester post-punk aesthetic. The fellas discuss understated guitars, "lead bass", and Homer Simpson singing karaoke.
