Ever wondered how embracing a unique blend of post-punk and electronic music could move an entire culture? Join us as we traverse through the realm of music, focusing on the influential post-punk band from Manchester, New Order. Our journey takes us through their unique musical style, the impact of their partnership with Factory Records and Tony Wilson on their success, and how they redefined the music scene with their innovative sound. We also explore the pulsating Madchester scene, relive the summer of love in the 80s, and unmask the influence of DJs and American music on the band.
This episode isn't just about music, it's about expressions, transitions and finding beauty in the harshest of environments. We dive into New Order's 2nd studio album, drawing parallels between the band's transition from Joy Division and the evolution of music over the years. Our conversation sways towards the intriguing world of face yoga - a practice that promises to reduce dark circles and facial problems. We also delve into how teenagers and young adults across cultures express themselves, the importance of the 'birds and bees' talk in today's world, and the effect of drugs on the youth.
As we wrap up our journey, we reflect on the role celebrities play in our lives and how they could mold our decisions. We also draw conclusions on how New Order's age of consent has shaped their music. Lastly, we take a moment to appreciate the beauty of harsh environments and the remarkable inspiration they offer.
