Reading Perfect From Now On, wherein John Sellers' accounts of his college experience in the eighties, has spurred my recent New Order kick. I've liked New Order since hearing Turn My Way in grade eight but there's a sense of nostalgia in their music that has brought me back to listening to them having just left for Uni. In his book, Sellers talks about how when he first moved into residences, he would judge which people he would want to talk to based on the music leaking through the walls. I think that's a brilliant way to judge whether talking to someone would be worth it: if I heard someone blasting this with an undertone of someone singing along, I would probably avoid said person in the hallway. If I heard Temptation or Ceremony drifting through a dorm door, I would do whatever it took to meet the owner of said quality music.
