Death!

August 13th, 2007

Nothing can get a Monday off to a better start than a few deaths! For real though, I’m kind of sad about both. They each did a little something for me in their own little ways.

tonywilson.jpg Tony Wilson - Factory Records founder and Hacienda owner Tony Wilson had a little something to do with the whole music scene in England, specifically the whole “Madchester” thing. He also put out records by Joy Division, New Order, and the Happy Mondays. Basically, Tony Wilson is responsible for a large chunk of my music collection. Even bands that weren’t on his label.
