Not a full house for this gig on 8th October 1979 but it was still quite lively. Buzzcocks did come up with a few punk-pop classics in their day and it was great to hear these gems blasting out across the Caird Hall. The crowd at the front of the stage were pogoing and gobbing like it was a punk gig from 1977 but the support band, Joy Division, was proof that music had moved on to it's next phase, almost 1980, and now the post punk/new wave era. I can remember hearing the sound coming from the electric drum on "She's lost control" and thinking how futuristic it seemed to be. I've still got the image of Ian Curtis doing his agitated dance movements in my mind!
I used to have the Caird Hall poster for this gig on my wall. Printed in maroon yellow colours. The poster did have Joy Division on it, whereas the ticket didn't. I ended up chucking it out though when I moved house.

Writer/director Woody Allen delivers a powerful, searing adult drama (Leonard Maltin) examining the life of an accomplished philosophy professor teetering on the brink of self-understanding. Boasting a superb cast led by Gena Rowlands, Mia Farrow, Ian Holm and Gene Hackman, Another Woman is Allens 17th triumphant film. Stylistically rich and technically expert, the film layers past and present, dialogu and narration, reality and metaphor, to achieve a lucidity and compassion of an order virtually unknown in American movies (Time). Intelligent, accomplished and happily married, Marion (Rowlands) considers her life fulfilling until a chance encounter with a troubled stranger (Farrow) offers her a brief but piercing glimpse at her inner emptiness. Drifting in a loveless marriage and denying her feelings for another man (Hackman), Marion is shocked when she accidentally learns of her husbands (Holm) infidelity.

I inherited it when Todd's grandmother was donating it to charity because it has some frayed areas around the edges. It was made BY HAND by her great-grandmother (I think). It is hand quilted and hand pieced. I'm not sure, but I think the some of the lighter pieces are just the darker pieces bleached. (Did they even have bleach back then?) Anyway, I think this would be so fun to make with your stash. Of course, I highly recommend using your sewing machine, and your rotary cutter.

Bliss has an adorable red and white ticking quilt that I think is also this courthouse stairs pattern. (The one hanging in your bedroom.) If we ask real nice she may post it for us. I REALLY want to copy it.
