Há 45 anos houve um milagre duplo na música...

Closer é o segundo e último álbum de estúdio da banda britânica de pós-punk Joy Division, lançado em 1980.
Foi considerado um dos mais importantes álbuns do movimento pós-punk. As músicas foram gravadas sob uma abóbada de estuque especialmente construída, a fim da captar a ressonância de uma capela. Não há indicação dos lados, seja no selo, seja no encarte. Assim, com o álbum anterior, Unknown Pleasures, a relação das músicas encontra-se apenas no encarte. Na reedição em CD, considerou-se o lado A sendo o que começa com Atrocity Exhibition, e o lado B começa com Heart And Soul.
Por problemas na tiragem, o álbum só foi lançado em junho de 1980, depois do suicídio do vocalista Ian Curtis, tornando-se um álbum póstumo. A capa, que mostra a foto de uma lápide de cemitério, foi concebida antes da morte de Ian Curtis, mas acabou sendo uma infeliz coincidência (a foto foi tirada no Cemitério Staglieno, em Génova, Itália).

A banda The Cult lançou em disco a música She Sells Sanctuary há quarenta anos...!

"She Sells Sanctuary" is a song by British rock band the Cult. It is from their second studio album, Love (1985), and was released as a single on 13 May 1985, peaking at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart in July of the same year. In March 2023, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) awarded the song a platinum certification for sales and streams of over 600,000. In January 1993, the song was re-released as "Sanctuary MCMXCIII" and experienced chart success once more, matching its original peak on the UK Singles Chart and entering the top 10 in New Zealand. The song is certified double platinum in Canada and platinum in New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
One of the earliest songs written for what would become the Love album, "She Sells Sanctuary" was first performed during the Dreamtime tour in the Autumn of 1984, and would become the last song to be recorded with the Cult's long-time drummer, Nigel Preston, who was fired from the band shortly after its release. According to Cult guitarist Billy Duffy, the iconic introduction effects were the result of all the guitar effects pedals being on at the same time. The recording was edited to include the introduction with the effects, whereas earlier versions started the song more abruptly. Duffy says he found a violin bow lying around the studio and started playing the guitar with it "like Jimmy Page" to amuse singer Ian Astbury, hit every effects pedal he had "to make it sound weirder", and then played the middle section of the song. "And we decided to start the song with that mystical sound. If I hadn't found that violin bow laying around, we wouldn't have gone there," said Duffy.
Release
After its release in 1985, the single reached number 36 during a six-week run on the US Billboard Hot Dance/Disco Club Play chart in early 1986. The band has released various versions of the song. Aside from the original 7-inch single, three other versions had been released around the same time on 12-inch formats: "The Long Version", "The Howling Mix" and "Assault on Sanctuary".
On 18 January 1993, several more mixes were released on two different CD singles and a 12-inch single, titled "Sanctuary MCMXCIII". The "Sundance" remix was remixed by Butch Vig who previously had produced Nirvana's Nevermind album. The "Dog Star Rising" remix was remixed by Youth who produced the Cult's eighth album, Born into This. In 2009, two more previously unreleased versions, a demo and the "Olympic Rough Mix" were included in a 4-disc box set of the Omnibus edition of Love.

Billy Duffy, guitarrista dos The Cult, nasceu há 64 anos
Duffy cresceu em Manchester, onde começou a tocar viola aos catorze anos de idade. Duffy começou sua carreira tocando em diferentes bandas punk de no final de 1970, mas estes anos anteriores foram mais notáveis por ter introduzido Johnny Marr (The Smiths) para a guitarra e incentivando Morrissey para fazer sua estreia cantando com Duffy, em The Nosebleeds.
Quando o movimento punk rock inicial (liderada pelos Sex Pistols) morreu, Duffy acabou por passar para guitarrista dos Theatre Of Hate. Finalmente encontrou Ian Astbury (vocalista do gothic rock da banda Southern Death Cult), que ficou impressionado com a perícia de Duffy e abandonou Southern Death Cult para iniciar uma nova banda com ele. Juntos, eles exploraram o sucesso dos Southern Death Cult, chamando-se Death Cult. Após alarde inicial e um par de singles, Duffy, após uma viagem a Nova York, convenceu Astbury a encurtar o nome da banda para The Cult, em 1984.
A estreia de The Cult, o single "Spiritwalker", Duffy começou a criar um som característico com uma escolha pouco frequente de guitarra, uma Gretsch White Falcon de meados dos anos 70.

Robert Smith, vocalista e líder dos The Cure, comemora hoje 66 anos
O seu reconhecimento, ainda que algo tardio, surgiu em força nos anos 2000 com diversas homenagens tanto à sua banda como à sua pessoa e de onde se podem destacar os tributos da revista Q, MTV, NME, Rock Walk of Fame e Ivor Novello.
Robert Smith é também famoso pela sua imagem de marca, v.g. lábios borratados de batom, olhos pintados e, especialmente, o seu cabelo no ar, completamente despenteado.

The passenger - Siouxsie And The Banshees
Composição: Iggy Pop / Ricky Gardiner
I am the passenger and I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped sky
And everything looks good tonight
Singing la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Get into the car, we'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the city's ripped backside
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Stars made for us tonight
Oh the passenger
Oh how he rides
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
Singing la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window side
He sees the things he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city sleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride, and ride, and ride
Singing la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Singing la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
