Cool page. But is that pic of Ian Curtis, or the guy playing Curtis in the movie Closer? Looks like the latter. With that pic, certainly a movie about the man and band is worth a mention. (Or did I miss a mention? Apologies if I did!) The Killers cover of Shadowplay is also featured in the movie. >----- ------- Original Message ------- ----- >From: :audities@smoe.org >To: audities@smoe.org >Sent: Tue, 04 Mar 2008 09:44:18 > >We've started a new weekly feature over at Scholars >& Rogues that might >be of interest to some.
