Can't wait to listen to them on my next roadtrip.
I've forgotten how much I love this song! Makes me feel like skipping. :)

Have a lovely Sunday evening...
I cannot really wait until tomorrow to post my Friday favorite... I had to do it a day early for this one. That's how much I love this song :)
Telefon Tel Aviv is one of my absolute favorite unclassifiable bands. Ever. Probably # 1 of them all.
They are best on headphones whilst traveling, adventuring, exploring, crafting, baking, even working... :)
Enjoy.
Revisiting some old favorites lately...
Anything with strings can pretty much captivate me...
I can listen to this all day.
I am back home - after watching "Control" at the Laemmle theatre in Pasadena. Control is about the life of Ian Curtis, lead singer of Joy Division. The story was interpreted onscreen from the book his wife, Deborah, wrote in his honor.
I guess I am deeply affected by this film - as I am huge fan of Joy Division and New Order... but it was interesting to see the very human layers of their story. And personal battles Ian experienced throughout his short, but very passionate life.
I was shocked to learn that he died by the age of 23.
This version of their famous song was released back in 2005.. it has a bossa nova angle that I love of course.
Now, I wonder if Ian were alive today... would he appreciate this interpretation. He felt his songs and bled for them... he said, "....they [his fans] do not know how much I give every time I am up there... how much I give and how much they take from me..."
I can only imagine a man that serious about his work to be extremely sensitive with every version of his songs. Ian took his life the moment he felt he was losing control of his career and personal life. His passion still affects others posthumously... even after 27 years.
Incredible.
