--- Quote from: TheFuriousWombat on 04 Dec 2008, 11:54 --- On a much more positive note, they have a new album coming out on Temporary Residence in March. It features an orchestra on 75% of it and is surely going to be amazing. It's 7 tracks, only two of which are under 10 minutes and I'm already predicting it to be epic and wonderful and on my '09 'Albums of the Year' list.

Black Francis - Svn Fngrs may have made the list, but at only 20 minutes I wasn't really confident in classifying it as an 'album' even though it's not really an EP.

De_El:
Hah! My top ten most listened songs of '08 (according to Last.FM) are kind of ridiculous.

1. "Transmission" - Joy Division
2. "Dead Souls" - Joy Division
3. "Ceremony" - Joy Division
4. "Disorder" - Joy Division
4. (a tie) "New Dawn Fades" - Joy Division
the last five are all tied
6. "Naki Kyoku" - Boris
6. "The Only Mistake" - Joy Division
6. "Candidate" - Joy Division
6. "These Days" - Joy Division
6. "Ceremony" - New Order

I knew I listened to Joy Division a lot but I had no idea how disproportionately more I listen to them than a lot of other things.
