CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Matthew Warhol Recommends: When I tell people of a certain age or musical affluence I once interviewed Peter Hook, bassist for seminal bands Joy Division and New Order, they tend to get excited.

On this particular tour, the band will play both of Joy Division’s albums front-to-back, delving back into the band that ended far too soon. “We were young. We didn't know what we were doing. We didn’t get the gravity of what we were creating. And that has enabled it to last. So I mean really, the only thing that lasts mate is good music.”— MW
