Here are a few selected
opinions of Ian Curtis.
1.He's a poet. It was a shame no one took his lyrics seriously.
2.Everyone has their own opinions. It depends on your own personal definition of genius. To me, he was a musical genius,
the inventor of post-punk. And yes, he is the #1 emo.
3.Why is he called a genius? Isn't he ABIT overrated? Random extravagant lead singer killed himself... gifted? Maybe.
But FAR FAR AWAY from being a genius.
4.Ian Curtis: true artist, way ahead of his time.
5.Probably the single most influential person to the Post-Punk genre.
6.Heroes don't kill themselves, except they are inspired from a japanese mythology... he's just like curt cobain...
a victim,nothing more.
7. The guy had a simply phenominal voice
8.hes a hard man to explain isnt he. hes a complicated soul, but brilliant. I think he had big dreams but little motivation.
He had a way with words, phrasing things delicately.
9.Hate.
10.He was about death,bleakness and darkness.
11.Indie bands nowdays either have a generic indie sound or are poor imitations of Ian.
No one can match that poetry.
12. He was a crap dad and a crap husband. Not exactly a role model. But an inspiration? Yes.
Hey beautiful just some notes from the blog team festivites the other day:
ReplyDelete- Describe photos to extend on them? (Because you said most are obv not your photos so you need to add to them to make the use of them 'your own' as it were)
- Images for the backgrounds to add visual impact?
- Peter-saville inspired design?
- Illustrate the quotes you can't get photos for?
-Re-create photos that either you don't have rights for/don't exisit?
- Have a glossy photo section in the center of the book?
- 50 photos? One per double spread?
- Use stories and speculations of his life?
- Chronological organisation of the informtion?
- Book to visually represent Ian's style/looks? Such as being talla nd thin, hate on the back like on his famous jacket? His coat's texture around the outside of book?
Thanks <3
