Mating Calls - Episode 161 - A Means To An End
It's Election Eve in the U.S., which means the vibe is angsty af.
To fit the occasion, M2S has been spending weeks preparing an homage to Joy Division (and Factory Records more broadly) that features early Warsaw tracks, album favorites from Unknown Pleasures and Closer, rare demos, interviews, and live performances from everyone's favorite Manchester blokes. The inspiration for today's episode comes from music critic and Marxist scholar Mark Fisher's writings on JD from Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology, and Lost Futures (pictured here). Socialism is the only way out of this mess ✊
Alongside an hour plus of Joy Division, you'll hear other Factory-associated favorites, including New Order, John Cooper Clarke, Cabaret Voltaire, OMD, and more.
