10/6/09 News briefs: Peter Hook, F**ked Up, Ulrich Schnauss vs. Guns N’ Roses, Daft Punk + Tron Legacy and Bauhaus
October 6th, 2009
Joy Division/New Order bassist Peter Hook has confessed that he’s fooled collectors in the past by forging the autograph of his late bandmate Ian Curtis. Of course, it was all done for a laugh. (That is pretty funny, actually.)
Damian “Pink Eyes” Abraham, frontman for Polaris Music Prize victors F**ked Up and eternal record junkie, is the star of a new online short that follows him to his favourite local record shop (Toronto’s Rotate This.)
One of the most unlikely lawsuits has come to life: German electronic shoegaze maestro Ulrich Schnauss and his label Domino have launched a $1 million lawsuit again Guns N’ Roses for blatantly sampling two of his songs without clearance. Tsk, tsk Axl.
Not only is Daft Punk scoring next year’s Tron Legacy
, but according to star Olivia Wilde, the influential pioneers of French Touch and outright robotic gods are also making a cameo in the film. (We’re guessing with their masks on…)
And just because they deserve it, the first two Bauhaus albums are getting a deluxe reissue by label Beggars Banquet. A fifth wave of goth, anyone?
