    now this is a massive fucking loss.

    I still cannot make any top 10 list of definitive tracks i love without including stuff from his stable.

    Joy Division (and New Order)
    Happy "yer twisting my melon man!!" Mondays
    O.M.D

    R.I.P mate, you have a whole generation X saying thanks and can we have another pill?

    i thought it is reported that he died of a heart attack, unrelated to his cancer.

    RIP regardless.
