just seen the documentary it was really good and a good way to learn more about the band and where they were coming from. the scenes of what Manchester looked like were amazing i can't believe that is what those people had to wake up and see everyday its horrible.

but to my question...
in the doc Bernard Sumner says he came up with the name joy division from this book he was given, he said when he told people about it they were awh struck saying "thats a good band name"
question is ...i thought that Ian Curtis had been the one to come up with it ?
or am i wrong

I thought that too.  Haven't seen the doc though.

So Barney also chose the excerpt from House of Dolls that they used in No Love Lost?

Yes, this is a bit unclear.

See post #23 or thereabouts in the thread "As promised, a few words from Mr. Hook" in the general discussion.
