293a - 33 1/3 Unknown Pleasures (Book) - Author's Choice

I love that at the end of this book, the author went into a detailed list of all the music they listened to during the writing and research process.  Several of these artists are a stretch from the bleak, dark, post-punk stylings of Joy Division.  This extra long mix will probably still be playing after you read this short book. 

I had thought about also including a mix of Joy Division, but thought there are three types of people, 1) Rabid fans that already have heard everything enough times, 2) casual fans that may not really care about an all JD mix, and 3) people that haven't heard them yet which means either they are living under a rock or just don't like them...and that's just like, your opinion, man.
