Missy Division
Ever wonder what would have happened if the remaining members of beloved post-punk outfit Joy Division had responded to the tragic death of singer Ian Curtis by becoming Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliot’s backing band instead of forming an obscure disco act called New Order? I know this tantalizing “alternate history” scenario has kept me awake many a night, and now, thanks to a link via my distinguished colleague Ammon Skidmore (who really needs a weblog of his own), I no longer have to wonder!
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Dsico’s brilliant “Love Will Freak Us!”
(Update: When I originally wrote this, I was afraid that my attempt at Tony Wilson-esque dry humor might be misinterpreted, and it looks like I was probably right. Just for the record, I absolutely love New Order—probably more than Joy Division. I guess one thing I should have kept in mind is that people might not realize you’re joking if you call a hugely popular UK band “an obscure disco act” in a country where they are, in fact, somewhat obscure!)
