    "comment": "On this date in 1980, Joy Division released \"Love Will Tear Us Apart.\"\n--\nDrummer Stephen Morris said, \"We had this one battle where it was nearly midnight and I said, “Is it all right if I go home, Martin [producer Martin Hannett] – it’s been a long day?” And he said [whispers], “OK … you go home”. So I went back to the flat. Just got to sleep and the phone rings. “Martin wants you to come back and do the snare drum”. At four in the morning! I said, “What’s wrong with the snare drum!?” So every time I hear “Love Will Tear Us Apart”, I grit my teeth and remember myself shouting down the phone, “YOU BASTARD!” … I can feel the anger in it even now. It’s a great song and it’s a great production, but I do get anguished every time I hear it.\"\nRead more about this great song: https://anglotopia.net/british-music-british-entertainment/routine-bites-hard-the-story-behind-joy-divisions-love-will-tear-us-apart/",
