Anti-Valentines 15-Song Playlist

Posted by @coltondaniel on February 11th, 2012

As the holiest day of chocolate and flowers approaches, we thought we’d help those in need with a playlist of some of the greatest break-up or heartbreak songs of all time.

Almost every song on the radio seems to be about love, right? It’s the time of the year when the lonely feel loneliest and it seems like everyone else is playing tonsil-hockey, smiling and you have nothing except a Ryan Gosling marathon and a tub of Ben and Jerrys waiting at home. Well, we can’t do anything about that – but we can provide a melancholy soundtrack of some of the saddest songs of all time. We’ll venture into the 80s with some Joy Division, Springsteen, U2 and Pat Benetar while visiting ballads from modern artists like Cee-Lo, Beyonce and of course – Adele.

Enjoy wisely. Stare out your window at the falling rain if you have to.

Interview: Manchester Orchestra On ‘Simple Math,’ Touring with Blink-182

Posted by @coltondaniel on September 5th, 2011

Overlooking the Toronto skyline from backstage at the Molson Amphitheater, Manchester Orchestra’s rhythm-guitarist and singer-songerwriter Andy Hull took in a drag and the scene.

“It’s pretty awesome to wake up in the city that you grew up in,” confessed Hull, moments before opening for My Chemical Romance and Blink-182 as part of the 2011 Honda Civic Tour. It would almost seem that, other than sharing a stage, lyrical honesty and vulnerability is about all that these three bands have in common.

“It’s fun man, they’re all really kind people,” says Hull about being on the road with MCR and Blink. It’s been a sleepless summer for Hull and company, leaping between a plethora of festivals from Montreal’s Osheaga to Chicago’s Lollapalooza. “It’s been quite an experience to play these venues. It’s definitely this casting vision tour to really see how big a band can get. It’s kind of crazy. And [Blink-182] is definitely a band that represented a huge part of our childhood.”

Joy Division Singer’s Gravestone Stolen

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 8th, 2008

The memorial gravestone that marked Joy Division singer Ian Curtis’ grave has been stolen, E!Online reports.

The stone read, “Ian Curtis, 18-5-80. Love Will Tear Us Apart,” and sat above his ashes in a West England cemetery.

Police commented that the theft happened between last Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning. “There is no CCTV in the area and there are no apparent leads as to who is responsible for the theft,” inspector Gareth Woods commented. “This is a very unusual theft and we are confident that someone locally will have knowledge about who is responsible or where the memorial stone is at present.”

“We had to break the news to Debbie [Woodruff, Curtis' widow] and she was shocked and found it difficult to take in. She is in a state of disbelief and shock,” said a spokesman for the Macclesfield Borough Council.

Curtis hanged himself when he was just 23.
