Sorry to the mods for re-reposting this. First time was on mobile and reddit app only uploaded two images. Second time I forgot bout my thermos, should be the last re-reupload.
also ordered an aphex twin night light from etsy but the damn thing hasn't shipped at all because the seller is a dickhead. sad noises.
Title says it all: I remember reading some small tidbits about this project, how it was made during the Home of Heart cult, how one of the members was a teenage drummer (like...14 years old apparently) and how it was about nature and such.
Was it bad? I know Toshi reaaalllly doesn't like the music he made with Home of Heart, for obvious reasons.
I know it's become stale but I always find it amusing this keeps happening to me. Wendigasm yet again.
So one of the things that I always noted with the JD community is how they feel about Ian as a person. Some see him as a tragic and tortured figure who struggled with his epilepsy, others see him as a total arse with how he treated Deb and by an extent, Natalie all for his desire to step away from being a family man and be a rock star. A bunch (myself included) see him as more complicated that while yes he was tragic with what happened to him and what he dealt with, it doesn't excuse how awful of a husband and father he was.
I see these conflicted arguments whenever Deb's book, Peter's book, the film Control, and I think several biographies about the band come up as we're often left with differing interpretations of how Ian was. I don't know, being a big fan of Joy Division's, much of Ian's lyrics and his life connects so much to what Joy Division is and what it became, I'm often just wondering this and I feel crazy or parasocial.
I know some will also kind of peek with comments saying that I shouldn't be thinking this because I never knew Ian (and they are right), but it's hard to not think so since a lot of Ian's issues and such bled into the world of Joy Division.
I've been a fan of using Spotify podcasts and such as of late, so I've been using an iPhone 14 Pro Max refurbished from Amazon to listen to them offline.
For some reason, it will pause my audio, give me a message saying there's some issue with playback. I close and open the app again and then get hit with a "you can't play this because you're offline" despite the fact this was downloaded audio.
Close and open again and it just refuses to play until I close and open the app again.
I've read you need to uninstall and reinstall the app and yet it still happens.
Any advice?
