NME reports: *Anthony H. Wilson, co-founder of Factory Records, has died of a heart attack today at the age of 57. Wilson is best known for signing legendary bands including Joy Division and New Order to his label, and as owner of the Hacienda nightclub in Manchester. He played a key role in the Madchester scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s, signing the Happy Mondays. Wilson passed away on this evening in the hospital after suffering a heart attack that his doctor said was unrelated to his recent battle with cancer.
Professor Robert Hawkins, his doctor at Christie hospital, told the Guardian: “It’s very sad. He died as a result of something unrelated to his cancer. His cancer was responding well to treatment but obviously did contribute to his poor health”. Recently it was recommended he take the drug Sutent after chemotherapy failed to treat the disease effectively, but the NHS refused to pay for the £3500-a-month treatment. However, the Happy Mondays and other bands he signed had started a charity fund to help pay for Wilson’s treatment. His family are reportedly declining to comment at this time, but thanked the staff at the MRI and Christie who have provided “fantastic” care for him over the last few months.*
It doesn’t sound like Editors frontman, Tom Smith, is a happy camper. Check out the following quotes, via Culture Deluxe regarding the band’s much-discussed similarities with Interpol: “If you’re a music journalist saying that then you’re deaf and need a new job.”
“When people dismiss us as a second-rate whoever it pisses you off. Vocally there is a similarity with Interpol and that’s fine but our first album ‘The Back Room’ doesn’t sound anything like them. What amazes me is we still get that on this record, ‘An End Has A Start’, which sounds nothing like Interpol or Joy Division.”
No disrespect to Tom, as I understand his frustration and have much love for Editors, but to say that the band sounds ‘nothing like Interpol or Joy Division’ is really quite absurd.
The former Joy Division & New Order member speaks to XFM about his reaction to the Ian Curtis-based, critically revered biopic, Control:
“I really enjoyed it… But it was like having your heart stamped on. The weirdest thing was at the end, when it really hurt and everybody started clapping. It would’ve been nice to have a dignified silence.
“You’re sat there thinking “Fuck me I lived that!” It was like being dissected. And then I went to take a piss and Ian and Bernard Sumner were next to me… well the actors that played them and I was like that… ‘Aaaaah!’. That was surreal.
“The way I always like to look at it is that you can judge how good a film is by how many people go to take a piss during it, and only two people went for a piss – Bernard and a 70-year-old woman.”

On Monday, I shared with you an interview with Control director, Anton Corbijn, as well as some tiny clips from forthcoming Ian Curtis-basd movie. Today I bring you the film’s official 4-minute trailer. It’s going to be a difficult task waiting any longer for this one! Judging from these brief YouTube videos, it seems as if the film is going to be spectacular.
