"I don't mean to say that he is out of key like Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen. I don't mean to say that his delivery is flat and within a limited range like Ian Curtis or the guy from Cake."
"I've always got on so well with women but I have literally never been attracted to one and I've really tried hard my whole life. I know for a fact my life would be so much easier. Gay men do not give a fuck about Ian Curtis or Cameron Winter."
"I just read Touching From a Distance in one sitting. It demystifies Curtis, but that somehow makes it more impressive. The story of Joy Division is not the story of a divine prophet, but of four Manc dickheads who pick up instruments for the first time and become music legends in less than four year"
"When I was a teenager it was so easy. I compared myself to artists like Daniel Johnston, Kurt Cobain and Ian Curtis, I was suicidal but I took comfort in those thoughts, the idea that I could opt out anytime I wanted."
"i could give many examples but the only person ive been able to relate to in this regard is ian curtis, who apparently had a fascination with songs and lyrics referring to suicide "like david bowie's 'rock'n'roll suicide" and who famously ended up killing himself."
