I’ll Walk You Through The Heartbreak, Show You All the Outtakes: Transmission 449, 2019 February 13

Welcome to our Peter Hook birthday tribute, and our second New Order / Joy Division dance party in a six-week span. It was a tough ask, using this music to follow "Jamaican Clash," but we did the best we could. The date of this broadcast was Elliott Abrams day, on which we learned that it's apparently rude to ask basic questions about the past--at least, for a black person to do it. So I guess I needed to be careful.

Did this program "ask questions?" Not really. It didn't help that Lady Catharsis couldn't make it to the studio for "the banter that you would expect on an occasion like this"--she has a life outside radio, and I don't. So we didn't get to discuss the weirdness of being a New Order fan before discovering Joy Division, or the "divorce" and New Order's continued trading under that brand name even though Peter Hook, their most distinctive musician, is gone. And we didn't discuss our shared feeling that New Order basically ended for us around the time of "Substance," when things were rumored to be ending anyway. Anyway, the playlist doesn't lie. I'm just relieved I got some basic things correct for once, such as "Procession" being an A-side and "Turn the Heater On" being a Keith Hudson tune. Plus--bringing things back around to Abrams, I suppose--I got away with (playing) "Murder," which Lady Catharsis hates! Mostly, a good time was had--by me, and hopefully by you as well.
