204. MOGWAI’S STUART BRAITHWAITE RATES JOY DIVISION (PART 2)

Everyone needs a Beach Boy break every now and then, and I’m happy as a clam to announce this sharp left turn with Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite, as we take a mutual descent into the heart of darkness. Our examination of every last triumphantly bleak release by post-punk progenitors Joy Division is a dependably in-depth celebration of this great band’s “eerie spatially.”

Here’s just a few of the many things that Stuart discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

  • The avalanche of crazily top-shelf singles Joy Division released between their two LPs, including “Love Will Tear Us Apart”;
  • The obscure song from which Joy Division cribbed the riff for “Love Will Tear Us Apart”;
  • The super-cool but maddening-at-the-time decision to do an exclusive release of Stuart’s all-time favorite Joy Division 45 through a French fanzine;
  • The unfortunate inverse ratio of the band’s success to Ian Curtis’s worsening epilepsy and suicidal urges;
  • The crucial role that mundane conversation held in Joy Division’s band rehearsals;
  • The details surrounding Ian Curtis’s tragic suicide;
  • Stuart’s favorite album of all time;
  • And a track-by-track rundown of Joy Division’s posthumous classic Closer.
