The jadis journal

Will be posting music and other things from my personal canon.


My first encounter with the good captain when I saw it late at night on VH1 or whatever music channel it was. His amazing voice is gone, obviously, but he's so fucking cool. I like that it features really gratuitous promotion of his paintings

What they call romantisme noir

I think she's my new favorite artist. Love the songs, the videos, the ideas, the aesthetic, everything

What a beautiful song. Also NO fans who say Smith ripped it off for Inbetween Days are deaf losers

[SGR]

Love me some New Order - personally I think their sound peaked with "Regret", my favorite New Order track - shame the album wasn't quite as great across the board as this track ("World" is good too, but sounds a tad more dated)

[jadis]

It's a lovely single but their early 80s vintage is where it's at imo

[Lexi of the Dawn]

I think everything they put out in the 80s was great, but my favorite album is definitely Technique from 1989. I really dig the more overtly electronic dance tinge on that album.

Their really early stuff where it's kinda transitioning out of the Joy Division sound is also super classic of course.

This is probably my favorite song of those that still sound like JD

Always loved this single from Technique

As to albums, Low-Life is imo the best by some margin. One of the decade's perfect pop albums

 

[jadis]

Another really beautiful one

[jadis]

Probably my single favorite Zappa track

[jadis]

Very high in my personal canon. Nothing quite like it
